Homes in the North West

The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.

What do you get with a new-build home?

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.

  • Design, planning application and discharge of conditions
  • Groundworks, services and drainage connections
  • Superstructure, roof, windows and external finishes

Planning and building rules in Wilmslow

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

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 should Wilmslow homeowners check first?

  • 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.

How does the project run?

  1. Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
  2. Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
  3. Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
  4. Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
