−	In England, the availability of social housing is rapidly declining. Between 2012 and 2016, over 120,000 social rented homes were lost, with another 120,000 ~~projected to disappear~~ by 2020. This decline is due to inadequate replacement construction, fuelled by sales under Right to Buy and the transition of homes into ~~higher~~ rent brackets ~~known~~ as "affordable rent," encouraged by government funding for new units.	+	In England, the availability of social housing is rapidly declining.

−	Undertaking a self-build project using modular construction offers numerous advantages. With the increasing accessibility of self-build mortgages from high-street banks, now available at similar loan-to-value ratios as traditional mortgages, this approach is becoming financially feasible. Cost assurance is achieved earlier with less risk of future escalations, as homes are created in a controlled environment, leading to quicker completion and fewer uncertainties compared to traditional builds.	+	Undertaking a self-build project using modular construction offers numerous advantages.

	Manufactured in state-of-the-art factories, modular homes boast improved build quality, thermal performance, and reduced construction waste, aligning with sustainability goals. On-site construction times are drastically reduced by up to 75% due to the pre-fabricated nature of the homes, minimising disruption to local residents and reducing vehicle pollution from lorry movements. Modular construction also allows for customised designs tailored to occupiers' needs, enhancing the personalisation of living spaces. These homes are not only sustainable and energy-efficient but also outperform traditionally built homes, making modular self-builds an attractive option for those seeking efficient, customisable, and environmentally friendly housing solutions.
