Find New Property Developments in London

The housing stock in London is ageing, and many properties are in need of modernisation. New build properties are often more energy efficient, have better insulation, and are built to modern standards. They also often come with warranties and guarantees for parts of the build.

London is a dynamic city with a growing population, large service sector with high-paying jobs and a huge population of students thanks for world-class universities. As a results there is a high demand for housing. New build properties offer a range of modern amenities and are often located in desirable areas with good transport links. They can also provide a good return on investment over time (this is not investment advice).

New build properties are often sold off-plan, meaning that the property is not yet built. This means that you will not be able to view the property before you buy it. You will need to rely on the developers renderings and information provided. You will also need to pay a reservation fee to secure your property. This is usually non-refundable if you change your mind, but it can be used as part of your deposit if you proceed with the purchase.

New build properties are often found in areas that are undergoing regeneration or development. This is because developers are often granted planning permission to build new properties in return for building affordable housing. Areas that are undergoing regeneration or development are often seeing new infrastructure being built, such as new stations, schools, and hospitals. It is usually convenient to live close to where you work or study, so good transport links are vital. Also, make sure to check the crime rates and flooding risks in the area.
