Why does Livedin exist?

Livedin exists to radically increase access to self-building for people from all walks of life. Our belief is simple yet bold: anyone should have the chance to design and construct a home that reflects their dreams, values, and personal story. Traditional routes to homeownership often leave out the spirit of genuine creativity and personal touch. We want to change that.

Challenging Conventional Housing

For too long, the housing market has been dominated by large developers and rigid processes, making it difficult for individuals to break in without deep pockets or specialised knowledge. Livedin intervenes by streamlining the self-build journey, demystifying planning permissions, and connecting aspiring builders with landowners who share our vision of creative, community-centred housing.

Empowering the Dreamers

We exist to empower the ""everyday dreamer"" to become a self-builder. Whether it's a young family longing for a home that adapts to their lifestyle or an individual chasing an eco-friendly tiny house dream, Livedin provides the tools, the know-how, and the network to help bring these visions to life.

Championing Community and Sustainability

Our mission goes beyond four walls and a roof. We're committed to fostering a culture of support and collaboration, where self-builders learn from one another, share resources, and strive for sustainable, ecologically responsible homes. By doing so, we help cultivate thriving communities built on mutual respect, creative vision, and a deep connection to the environment.

Making Self-Build Mainstream

At Livedin, we're on a mission to prove that self-build homes can—and should—become a mainstream option. Through our focus on robust land partnerships, user-friendly online tools, and a passionate community, we're transforming what was once a niche endeavour into a widely accessible and enriching life experience for everyone.
