Covering Chepstow
Alongside Chepstow, we also cover Portishead, Monmouth (12 miles to the north) and Yate.
Homes in Gwent
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
What is included in a new-build home in Chepstow?
We can take a plot from feasibility through planning, detailed design, building regulations, construction and handover, or build to a design and planning permission you already have. The structure can be traditional masonry or timber frame, and we work to the energy and ventilation rules that apply to new homes in each nation.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Design, planning application and discharge of conditions
- Building regulations design and warranty liaison
What is the guide price for a new-build home in Chepstow?
What new-build homes typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| New-build homes | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £2,000 to £2,500 per m² |
| Good specification | £2,500 to £3,000 per m² |
| High specification | £3,000 to £3,600 per m² |
What approvals does a new-build home need in Wales?
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the planning officer on your behalf.
What can affect a new-build home?
- Self-builders can usually reclaim VAT on certain materials through HMRC’s DIY housebuilders scheme where they buy them directly.
- Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
