London locations and property context, answered plainly.

This guide covers private residential projects across prime London. That includes central, west, north and south west neighbourhoods.

We confirm suitability and availability for your address and the service you need.

Next Send us the full address, rather than just a neighbourhood name.

No. A postcode or neighbourhood name is not a reliable guide. It will not tell you which rules apply.

Council boundaries, listed status and conservation designations need checking against the actual address.

Next Check the council’s address-based records with us before choosing a planning strategy.

Start with the property’s planning history, heritage position and the proposed structural scope.

Basements, roof changes and extensions need an early review against the current council requirements.

Next Ask us for an address-specific constraints review before design starts.

Historic fabric, room layout, service routes and access are often central to the brief.

We check the exact property designation and any estate or ownership requirements.

Next Bring your heritage, lease and alteration records to feasibility.

Confirm the building’s ownership and management arrangements first. Check access rules, shared services and any approval requirements.

The neighbourhood name does not tell you who has authority over the works.

Next Get the managing agent’s works requirements before we price the job.

Assess the whole ground floor layout, the garden relationship and drainage. Do not look at the new space alone.

Early design should also identify structural work and neighbour interfaces.

Next Compare the usable layout and total scope of each extension option with us.

Review the individual building, its heritage context and any previous alterations.

We test the technical routes and your interior aspirations against those constraints.

Next Arrange a feasibility study using the actual property records and a survey.

Site levels, access and neighbouring structures can shape the proposal. So can property-specific heritage or planning constraints.

Do not assume the rules are the same across these neighbourhoods.

Next Ask us for an address-specific survey and planning review.

The existing house, garden, access and ground or drainage conditions should guide feasibility.

If flooding or protected trees could affect your site, get the relevant specialist assessment.

Next We build site investigations into the early design programme.

Property type and ownership matter most. A townhouse and a managed apartment have very different interfaces and permissions.

We confirm the exact constraints before agreeing the scope.

Next Send us your property type, address and any management documents you have.

Test the scope against the house or apartment, access and neighbours. Check this against the relevant local requirements too.

An area’s reputation does not determine the cost or feasibility of your project.

Next Ask us for a property-specific design and cost review.

A nearby approval is useful context. It is not a guarantee for your property.

Differences in layout, neighbours, policy and designations can change the outcome.

Next Ask our planning team which precedents are genuinely comparable to yours.
