Built for the professionals
around every self-build project

VATBuild works with mortgage lenders, pre-construction professionals, and planning services to give self-build and conversion clients better VAT control — from first drawdown to final HMRC reclaim.

Mortgage Lenders & Brokers

Help borrowers protect their VAT claim from day one

Self-build and conversion borrowers manage staged drawdowns, contractors, suppliers, and an expected HMRC VAT reclaim at the end of their project. VATBuild gives lenders and brokers a practical touchpoint throughout the build — helping borrowers catch VAT issues before payment, not after.

Key benefits
  • Borrowers who stay on top of VAT evidence are better placed to manage project cash flow
  • A stronger reclaim helps completion-stage financial planning and reduces pressure on staged funds
  • Works for VAT431NB (new build) and VAT431C (conversion) claimant routes
Pre-Construction Professionals

Give clients a structured VAT answer — without giving tax advice

Architects, planning consultants, quantity surveyors, package companies, turnkey providers, and project managers are often the first trusted advisers around a self-build or conversion client. VATBuild gives you a professional boundary: you can support the client's VAT discipline without taking responsibility for the reclaim.

Key benefits
  • Clients naturally ask VAT questions — redirect them to a proper system instead of informal comments
  • VATBuild handles invoice upload, classification, and HMRC reclaim preparation end-to-end
  • Reduces ad hoc VAT queries during design, tendering, and construction phases
  • Partner via referral link, co-branded VAT checklist, client onboarding pack, or deeper integration
  • Available as a test partner programme — demo, guided setup, and feedback session included
Planning Portals & Partners

Extend the planning journey into post-permission VAT control

Planning Portal and similar services support applicants at a critical point: preparing and submitting planning applications. VATBuild continues that journey — from permission into construction, with practical VAT, invoice, and HMRC reclaim control.

Key benefits
  • Self-builders, converters, and barn conversion applicants all face significant VAT decisions post-permission
  • "Start your VAT record after planning" — a natural next step for applicants moving into construction
  • Stage-based user journeys: start, mid-build catch-up, or pre-submission check
  • Partnership can begin with contextual advertising or sponsored education, then expand
  • Co-branded VAT evidence checklist creates a qualified referral pathway
