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.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Superstructure, roof, windows and external finishes
- Full internal fit-out and landscaping
How much should I budget for a new-build home?

| Standard specification | £2,000 to £2,500 per m² |

Do you need permission for a new-build home in Colwyn Bay?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales.
What can affect a new-build home?
- Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
- Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
How does the project run?
