New build cost in Southfields.
Southfields — SW18 — south of Wandsworth Common towards Wimbledon. The grid between the District Line station and Wimbledon Park is one of the most consistent Edwardian streetscapes in south-west London.
What makes new-build work in Southfields distinct.
Site context: Edwardian three-bay terraces with bay windows and tile-hung gables — strong loft potential, often with original outriggers intact.
Planning: Southfields Grid Conservation Area covers the main 'Grid' between the station and Replingham Road. Full planning is the rule rather than the exception.
Applications go to LB Wandsworth. We handle the Pre-App, planning submission, party wall awards, CIL calculations and conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

What Southfields self-builders ask us.

The Southfields multiplier (0.95×) reflects local labour, scaffolding logistics and finish expectations.
What's the planning process for a new build in Southfields?
Always full planning permission via LB Wandsworth. Southfields Grid Conservation Area covers the main 'Grid' between the station and Replingham Road. Full planning is the rule rather than the exception. Most Southfields 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 Southfields?
Edwardian three-bay terraces with bay windows and tile-hung gables — strong loft potential, often with original outriggers intact. Plot types that come up most often in SW18: 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 Southfields are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Southfields new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Southfields), 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 Southfields?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Wandsworth 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.
