Homes in London

Terraced houses dominate many London neighbourhoods, so most projects involve shared walls, narrow access and a party wall process. Conservation areas are widespread, and some boroughs have their own mansard and basement guidance.

What does a new-build home involve?

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.

What is the guide price for a new-build home in Uxbridge?

Indicative costs for new-build homes. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.

New-build homes	Guide price

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 England?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

This needs full planning permission from the council. We prepare the drawings and supporting documents, submit the application and respond to the planning officer.

What can affect a new-build home?

Most lenders want a structural warranty or architect’s certificate on a new home.
Self-builders can usually reclaim VAT on certain materials through HMRC’s DIY housebuilders scheme where they buy them directly.
