NSBRC Aspirations Survey 2023

Each year The National Self Build & Renovation Centre produces a survey in partnership with the National Custom & Self Build Association (NaCSBA).

The 2023 survey marks our third edition and was completed by 759 people. This data provides a detailed view of those planning to, or currently undertaking substantial homebuilding projects.

We asked almost exactly the same set of questions this year to better understand the motivations of homebuilders, as well as the barriers they are facing in the current market, building on our existing dataset from the 2022 survey.

We have produced a helpful infographic, which summarises the key findings on what matters to self-builders and home improvers in 2023.

Please click on the below image to view the full infographic.

You can find information on last year's survey here.
