About new builds in City of London

New build homes in City of London, Greater London

New build opportunities in the City of London are rare and prestigious. The Square Mile is dominated by commercial property, so the handful of residential developments that come forward — typically luxury conversions and boutique new builds around Barbican, Aldgate and the eastern fringe — command benchmark prices and sell quickly to a global buyer pool.

The City sits at the heart of London's transport network, with Liverpool Street, Bank, Moorgate and Barbican stations offering Underground, Elizabeth line and National Rail connections across the capital. The Elizabeth line has transformed east-west connectivity, putting Canary Wharf, Heathrow and the West End within minutes.

New build buyers in the City are typically international investors and professionals who want to live at the centre of global finance. Developments here offer concierge services, secure parking and high-end specifications, with prices among the highest in London. Plots are limited and rarely stay on the market long.

Our team can advise on the rare City new build opportunities as they arise, and arrange the mortgage — including for international buyers and complex income structures.
