Homes in County Tyrone
Northern Ireland has a high proportion of detached houses and bungalows outside the cities, which often suit side extensions, rear extensions and upward extensions.
What goes into 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.

How much does a new-build home cost in County Tyrone?
Use these ranges to budget for new-build homes; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.
| New-build homes | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £2,000 to £2,500 per m² |

| High specification | £3,000 to £3,600 per m² |
How is a new-build home approved in County Tyrone?
In Northern Ireland the council handles both planning and building control. Permitted development rules are set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, and there is no party wall act, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing.
This needs full planning permission from the council in Northern Ireland, plus building control approval.
What can change the price or programme?
- Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
- Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
What happens after I enquire?
- 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.
What people ask before starting
Can you help with planning on a plot?
Yes. We appraise the plot, prepare the design and submit the application.
Do I need a structural warranty?
If you need a mortgage or may sell within ten years, a structural warranty or professional consultant’s certificate is usually required.
Who deals with the council for a project in County Tyrone?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
