New build cost in Hammersmith.
Hammersmith sits immediately north of Fulham along the A4 corridor. The terraces north of King Street and the riverside streets around Hammersmith Mall hold some of west London's most consistent late-Victorian housing stock.
What makes new-build work in Hammersmith distinct.
Site context: Tall Victorian and Edwardian three-storey terraces with steep slate roofs — high loft potential, often suiting full L-shape dormers.
Planning: Brackenbury Village and St Peter's Square conservation areas cover much of north Hammersmith; expect full planning rather than PD on most streets.
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's the planning process for a new build in Hammersmith?
Always full planning permission via LB Hammersmith & Fulham. Brackenbury Village and St Peter's Square conservation areas cover much of north Hammersmith; expect full planning rather than PD on most streets. Most Hammersmith 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 Hammersmith?
Tall Victorian and Edwardian three-storey terraces with steep slate roofs — high loft potential, often suiting full L-shape dormers. Plot types that come up most often in W6: 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 Hammersmith are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Hammersmith new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Hammersmith), 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 Hammersmith?
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.
