Description

Build Your Dream Home in South London - A Rare Chance to Create a Home Exactly the Way You Want It

Imagine designing a home around your life - choosing the layout, the finishes, the kitchen, the style, and every detail in between. A home that feels completely yours from day one.

On Babington Road, that's exactly what's possible.

This unique opportunity allows you to build a beautifully designed four-bedroom detached home in a quiet South London neighbourhood, moments from Streatham, Balham and Tooting. It's perfect for a family, couple, or anyone dreaming of a forever home that's tailor-made rather than "off the shelf".

A Home Designed for Modern Living
Planning permission is already approved for a striking, contemporary house set across 1,787 sq ft. The design is a spacious, bright and thoughtfully laid out four bedroom comfortable for family living, featuring:
- A generous master suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite
- Three further bedrooms
- A dedicated home office
- A separate utility room
- Large, light-filled open-plan living spaces

You can build the home exactly as approved - or, if you prefer, you can customise the floorplan, interiors, layout and style to suit your lifestyle.

Whether you love the idea of a dream kitchen, a calming bathroom retreat, or a home perfectly suited to family life, this plot gives you the freedom to make it real.

A Financially Smarter Way to Create Your Forever Home
Many home buyers don't realise that building your own home can offer exceptional value. Because you're purchasing the land and then building the house separately, the total cost is often significantly lower than buying a similar, already existing property in the area.

Estimated Costs:
Land Price: £590,000
Build Cost Estimate: £460,000
Total Costs to create your four-bedroom dream home: £1,060,000
Home value once completed: £1,300,000

That's an estimated £240,000+ in potential equity gained when you move in - simply by choosing to craft your own home.

Why So Many People Choose to Self-Build
You don't need construction experience - most buyers simply work with a qualified builder or experienced construction manager. And the benefits are significant:

Significantly Lower Stamp Duty: Paid only on the land price, not the value of your home once it's built. (in this case - £18,000 versus £75,250)

Self Build Mortgages: No mortgage issues - our specialist partners will support you with getting the mortgage required for both plot and build costs.

VAT Savings: Many materials and services qualify for VAT reclaim (saving you additional on build costs)

Built Around Your Life: Choose your own home layout, kitchen, bathrooms, finishes and style

More Energy Efficient: Modern building standards mean a warmer, greener and more economical home


It's a rare chance to create something truly personal - and financially smart. Get in touch and we will hand hold you through your experience to bring your dream home into reality.
