The kinds of plot we look at in Hammersmith and Fulham
Sometimes the plot that works isn’t a single garden at all. Two or three adjoining back gardens in Hammersmith and Fulham can often be combined into one scheme with one shared access, giving a better layout than any of them alone. Each owner keeps their house, and a collaboration agreement with an equalisation clause shares the value fairly. If your own garden is too narrow or too short to work on its own, it’s worth asking whether the neighbours might be interested too.
Planning and light in Hammersmith and Fulham
Planning applications for new homes in gardens in Hammersmith and Fulham are decided by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Its decisions follow the council’s Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Officers usually focus on access, privacy, daylight, the character of the street and the garden left for both homes. Many councils use separation guides of around 21 metres between facing back windows and around 12 to 15 metres between a back window and a blank side wall, but the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham’s own guidance decides. We prepare the application with care; the decision is always the council’s.

Questions about garden plots in Hammersmith and Fulham
Can I sell part of my garden in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Often, yes, if the plot is big enough, has a workable access and stands a reasonable chance of planning. We buy suitable plots directly, with or without planning, subject to survey, title and contract, or agree a sale that only completes if the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham grants permission. If planning is refused on a conditional sale, you keep your land.
Who decides planning for a new home in a garden in Hammersmith and Fulham?
The decision is made by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, using the council’s Local Plan, the NPPF and its own design guidance. Small schemes are usually decided by planning officers, and national and council rules set out when one can go to a planning committee instead. We prepare and submit the application and answer the council’s questions, but we can’t promise the outcome.
How much is my garden plot in Hammersmith and Fulham worth?
There’s no honest figure without looking at the plot. Value depends on location, size, access, title and planning, and costs such as a long drive or difficult ground come straight off what the land is worth. Our free appraisal looks at all of that before we talk about price.
Can you build a house in my back garden in Hammersmith and Fulham that I keep?
Yes. Our design and build route covers the survey, design, planning application, Building Regulations, construction and handover, while the land and the new home stay yours. You can sell it, let it or use it for family. You’ll get a written quote once the design and survey are done, and any earlier price range is a guide only.
