What's the planning process for a new build in Wandsworth?
Always full planning permission via LB Wandsworth. Wandsworth Common, Magdalen Park and Tonsleys conservation areas cover specific pockets. Most central SW18 retains PD rights. Most Wandsworth 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 Wandsworth?
Mixed — Victorian terraces near the common, Edwardian semis along West Hill, 1930s housing on the southern edges. 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 Wandsworth are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Wandsworth new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Wandsworth), 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 Wandsworth?
