Homes in the Forth Valley

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 should I budget for a new-build home?

Use these ranges to budget for new-build homes; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.

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

In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.

This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.

What should I think about before starting?

Most lenders want a structural warranty or architect’s certificate on a new home.
Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
