Discover the top new build houses across London

An independent, newly-built house offers many lifestyle benefits for families, such as more space and privacy. They also don’t require the owners to pay any service charges and ground rent that are typical of leasehold properties such as apartments. However, while such houses are easier to find in the countryside, they are limited in the inner city or Greater London zones.

The convenience of excellent transport to central London within minutes, combined with the opportunity for private, freehold residency, makes such properties stand out to buyers and investors.

From Dulwich in Zone 2 to Enfield in Zone 5 and beyond, here are some of the best new-build London houses across the UK capital.

Melbourne Mews, East Dulwich, Zone 2

Melbourne Mews is a collection of six modern and luxurious townhouses, located on a leafy street off Melbourne Grove in South East London’s East Dulwich. Each house is developed across four storeys, offering 1,700 sq ft of thoughtful living spaces, with stylish interiors and energy-efficient features. Moreover, with East Dulwich Station just a stroll away, residents can reach London Bridge in 12 minutes. Proximity to popular parks, such as Dulwich Park, Peckham Rye, Brockwell Park, and several well-regarded schools, is an added benefit of living here.

Highgate Village, North London, Zone 3

There is only a limited collection of seven units, featuring two and three-bedroom townhouses available in the sought-after Highgate Village area of North London.
