What Bayswater self-builders ask us.
How much does it cost to build a new home in Bayswater in 2026?

The Bayswater multiplier (1.15×) reflects local labour, scaffolding logistics and finish expectations.
What's the planning process for a new build in Bayswater?
Always full planning permission via City of Westminster. Bayswater Conservation Area covers virtually all of W2. Article 4 applies on key streets. Most Bayswater new builds start with a Pre-Application (£500–£2,500) to test feasibility, then a full planning submission running 13–18 weeks. Conservation areas, Article 4 directions and proximity to listed buildings add scrutiny.
What kind of plot makes sense in Bayswater?
Italianate stucco terraces, four to five storeys, with garden squares like Leinster Square and Princes Square. Plot types that come up most often in W2: replacement of an existing house (demolish + rebuild), side-garden infills on corner plots, and occasional backland sites accessed via a private drive. Plot acquisition prices in Bayswater are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Bayswater new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Bayswater), then 12–18 months on site for a single dwelling, 18–24 months for a large new build, and 24–36 months for multi-unit schemes. Our build programme is fixed in the contract.
How much is CIL in Bayswater?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. City of Westminster publishes its current CIL rates online; we calculate your specific liability at the planning-application stage. Section 106 affordable housing or infrastructure contributions may apply on larger schemes.
