New Build Home FAQs

Browse our answers to the most common queries about house refurbishment in London—from cost and planning permission to renovation timelines and process insights—all designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward.

The average cost of renovating a house in London varies depending on the scale of work, materials, and property size. Minor refurbishments might cost less, while a full house refurbishment—complete with structural work, flooring, kitchen and bathroom installations—usually ranges from £460 to £907 per m². Factors affecting the cost include planning permission needs, building regulations, and design complexity. You’ll receive a tailored refurbishment project quote from us that breaks down labour, materials, and any extra costs for a transparent view of house refurbishment costs.

Often, full house renovations or cosmetic refinements (like plastering, new flooring, tiling, or painting) won’t require planning permission—especially under permitted development. However, structural changes (e.g., loft conversions, house extensions, altering rooflines, or converting basements) typically do require consent. We manage the entire process—from applying to your local authority to ensuring compliance with building regulations—to ensure a smooth renovation.

Timelines vary based on the renovation project’s scope. Minor refurbishments often take 6–12 weeks, while full house or structural projects (like loft conversions or extensions) can span 3–6 months—or even 6–12 months for listed properties. Structural works, complex design plans, and obtaining planning permission can extend the timeline, but our project management ensures you’re informed every step of the way.

While the terms are often interchangeable, house refurbishment usually implies interior rejuvenation—upgrading tiles, plaster, floors, kitchens, and bathrooms—whereas house renovation can include structural activities like loft conversions, extensions, or altering layouts. Both can transform a home, but understanding the difference helps manage costs, per m² budgeting, and planning requirements. We help you decide whether a refurbishment or full renovation best suits your goals.
