New build cost in Richmond.

What Richmond self-builders ask us.
How much does it cost to build a new home in Richmond in 2026?
Typical 2026 Richmond ranges (inc. design, planning, build, CIL & VAT): infill plots £504k–£1.3m; replacement dwellings £672k–£1.7m; garden plots £616k–£1.6m; large new builds £1m–£2.8m; multi-unit £1.3m–£5m+. The Richmond multiplier (1.12×) reflects local labour, scaffolding logistics and finish expectations.
What's the planning process for a new build in Richmond?
Always full planning permission via LB Richmond upon Thames. Richmond Hill, Richmond Green and Richmond Town conservation areas cover most of central Richmond. Many properties are listed. Most Richmond 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 Richmond?
Georgian and Victorian houses on Richmond Hill and around the green, Edwardian terraces and semis on the slopes below. Plot types that come up most often in TW9: 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 Richmond are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Richmond new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Richmond), 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 Richmond?
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.

As a structural engineer, I've collaborated with 2VP Projects Ltd on several residential projects in London. Their attention to detail, proactive site management, and clear communication make every stage—from design to execution—smooth and efficient. It's rare to find a contractor who values both precision and professionalism at this level. A truly reliable partner.
Great company to work with. Professional, reliable and easy to deal with. Vladimir and the team are always responsive, straightforward and genuinely care about doing things properly. I've had a very positive experience working with 2VP and would happily recommend them.
Extension went smoothly from start to finish. Communication was great throughout, and the team delivered exactly what we asked for. Thank you, 2VP!
