New build cost in Sands End.
Sands End — the corner of SW6 bordered by the Thames, Wandsworth Bridge Road and Imperial Wharf. The housing is a mix of Victorian artisans' terraces and post-war infill, with newer riverside flats along Townmead Road.
What makes new-build work in Sands End distinct.
Site context: Smaller two-storey Victorian terraces (often originally workers' cottages), some Edwardian semis and a scattering of 1980s townhouses.
Planning: Most of Sands End sits outside the conservation grid, so rear dormers often qualify for permitted development — but Article 4 directions apply on parts of Imperial Square.
Applications go to LB Hammersmith & Fulham. We handle the Pre-App, planning submission, party wall awards, CIL calculations and conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

What Sands End self-builders ask us.
How much does it cost to build a new home in Sands End in 2026?
Typical 2026 Sands End ranges (inc. design, planning, build, CIL & VAT): infill plots £450k–£1.2m; replacement dwellings £600k–£1.5m; garden plots £550k–£1.4m; large new builds £900k–£2.5m; multi-unit £1.2m–£4.5m+. The Sands End multiplier (1.00×) reflects local labour, scaffolding logistics and finish expectations.
What's the planning process for a new build in Sands End?
Always full planning permission via LB Hammersmith & Fulham. Most of Sands End sits outside the conservation grid, so rear dormers often qualify for permitted development — but Article 4 directions apply on parts of Imperial Square. Most Sands End 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 Sands End?
Smaller two-storey Victorian terraces (often originally workers' cottages), some Edwardian semis and a scattering of 1980s townhouses. Plot types that come up most often in SW6: 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 Sands End are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Sands End new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Sands End), 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 Sands End?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Hammersmith & Fulham 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!
