The Brixton multiplier (0.90×) reflects local labour, scaffolding logistics and finish expectations.
What's the planning process for a new build in Brixton?
Always full planning permission via LB Lambeth. Brixton Town Centre, St Matthew's and Lyham Road conservation areas cover specific pockets. Most Brixton 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 Brixton?
Victorian two- and three-storey terraces with outriggers, plus some Edwardian housing on the southern fringes. Plot types that come up most often in SW2: 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 Brixton are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Brixton new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Brixton), 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 Brixton?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Lambeth 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.
