New homes in London
Buy a London new build with someone checking the details
New build flats can offer modern specification and fewer early repairs, but the price often includes a premium and service charges can be high. Off-plan adds construction timing. We compare developments with resale evidence, negotiate where we can and help you understand the contract before you reserve.

- 03
A clear plan, no obligation
You get our view and the next steps in plain terms. Whether to go ahead is entirely your decision.
Are new build flats in London worth the premium?
Sometimes. Newer specification and warranties have value, but some buyers lose money on resale if they overpay. We compare with resale evidence before you commit.
What is the risk of buying off-plan in London?
Completion dates can move, the finished home may differ from the plans within contractual limits, and values can change before completion. Your solicitor should review the contract.
Can you negotiate with developers?
Often there is room on price, incentives or extras, depending on the scheme and market. We negotiate on your behalf.
Is a new build covered by a warranty?
Most new homes come with a structural warranty from a provider. Your solicitor will confirm the cover for the specific home.
Should I get a snagging inspection?
Many buyers do. We can help arrange an independent inspection before or soon after completion.
Can overseas buyers purchase new builds in London?
Yes. Additional stamp duty may apply to non-UK residents; see our stamp duty calculator and take advice.
How do you charge buyers?
Our fee structure is agreed in writing before the mandate starts.
