Homes in London

London projects often mean working on period terraces with neighbours on both sides, tight access through the house and conservation area controls, so careful planning and party wall work matter as much as the build.

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.

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?

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.

What should Wood Green homeowners check first?

Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
Most lenders want a structural warranty or architect’s certificate on a new home.
