New build cost in Mortlake.
Mortlake — SW14 — west of Barnes, on the south bank of the Thames. A quieter neighbourhood with Edwardian terraces and a strong river-village character.
What makes new-build work in Mortlake distinct.
Site context: Edwardian terraces with outriggers, plus older cottages near the riverside and 1920s semis on the southern edges.
Planning: Mortlake Conservation Area covers the historic core; outside it, PD rights are usually intact.
Applications go to LB Richmond upon Thames. We handle the Pre-App, planning submission, party wall awards, CIL calculations and conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

What Mortlake self-builders ask us.

The Mortlake multiplier (0.96×) reflects local labour, scaffolding logistics and finish expectations.
What's the planning process for a new build in Mortlake?
Always full planning permission via LB Richmond upon Thames. Mortlake Conservation Area covers the historic core; outside it, PD rights are usually intact. Most Mortlake 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 Mortlake?
Edwardian terraces with outriggers, plus older cottages near the riverside and 1920s semis on the southern edges. Plot types that come up most often in SW14: 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 Mortlake are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Mortlake new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Mortlake), 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 Mortlake?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Richmond upon Thames 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.
