The historical style it would be most efficient for developers to build in would be slums:

I live in a Victorian railway worker slum terrace , its under a conservation order now and worth about 550k. It's much roomier than the flats that's are going up near by because it has a garden not a balcony and you get your own front door.

Just found out the new place Im buying is un-mortgageable.
Beautiful luxury apartments with best view in town but it turns out too much of the block is for affordable rent (subsidised by tax payers) and lenders can't risk lending here as they have no idea who the Counvil will place in the affordable rent units0 -

And how exactly does that relate to the original premise of the OP?

Its possible self build. Perhaps not in construction methods butsome of the houses on the link below are very 'classical' for the highlands at least.
