What kind of plot makes sense in Ealing?
Edwardian terraces and semis dominate, with pockets of Arts & Crafts villas and 1920s housing. Plot types that come up most often in W5: 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 Ealing are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Ealing new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Ealing), 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.
