Designing and constructing a house involves many stages and specialists. Without a helping hand, it’s easy to feel lost or make costly mistakes.

Do i need planning permission for a new house?

Yes – planning permission is always required for building a new home in the UK, even on your own land. Permitted development doesn’t apply to new dwellings. You’ll need to apply to your local council and wait for formal approval before construction starts. This applies across all areas Lawrence Rand Property Services serves, including London and nearby counties. If your site is in a conservation or Green Belt area, stricter planning rules may apply.

From planning to handover, allow 9–18 months for a full new build. The build itself often takes 6–12 months, but design work, council permissions, and site prep add time. Lawrence Rand Property Services can help map out a timeline based on your specific project and location.

With Lawrence Rand Property Services, everything is covered under one roof:

Structural engineering and building regulations
Groundworks, full build, and interior fit-out
Project management from start to finish
Final inspections, certifications, and handover
This “turnkey” approach ensures a seamless, hassle-free experience – you bring the vision, we do the rest.

All new homes must have:

Planning permission
Building Regulations approval (with final sign-off)
A 10-year structural warranty (required by most mortgage lenders)
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

In areas with a
Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
, self-builders can usually claim an exemption – but you must apply before work starts. Other regulations, like the Party Wall Act or Build Over Agreements, may apply depending on your site. Lawrence Rand Property Services will guide you through all legal and compliance steps.
