Covering Warwickshire
We cover Warwickshire, including Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa and Warwick, and the towns around them.
Homes in the West Midlands
Across the West Midlands, terraced and semi-detached houses in red brick are typical, along with post-war estates where garage conversions and side extensions are popular.
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.
- Plot appraisal and feasibility
- Building regulations design and warranty liaison
- Full internal fit-out and landscaping

Planning and building rules in Warwickshire
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.
What should Warwickshire homeowners check first?
- Most lenders want a structural warranty or architect’s certificate on a new home.
- Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
What happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- 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.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Your questions answered
Is VAT charged on building a new house?
Building a new dwelling is usually zero-rated when done by a VAT-registered builder. We confirm the position for your project.
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.
Can you visit a house in Warwickshire to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
