Homes in the Scottish Borders

In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.

What does a new-build home involve?

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.

How much does a new-build home cost in Peebles?

What new-build homes typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.

Planning and building rules in Peebles

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?

Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
