What is a new-build home?

A new-build home is a house built from the ground up on a plot, whether a one-off self-build for your family or a small group of homes. Building a new dwelling is usually zero-rated for VAT when carried out by a VAT-registered builder, which is a major cost difference from extensions and renovations.

Do you need permission for a new-build home in Chapeltown?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

This needs full planning permission from the council. We prepare the drawings and supporting documents, submit the application and respond to the planning officer.

What should Chapeltown homeowners check first?

Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
Most lenders want a structural warranty or architect’s certificate on a new home.
