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.

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.
