Question 1

What does a rear or side-return extension cost on a W12 terrace in Shepherd's Bush?

Accepted Answer

A single-storey rear extension on a Shepherd's Bush terrace — groundworks, insulated flat or pitched roof, blockwork walls, and bifold or sliding glazing opening to the garden — typically runs £58,000 to £84,000 in W12, depending on depth and the glazing package. Pairing that with a full kitchen refit usually brings the combined programme to £86,000–£122,000. The quote we hand you on the day of our visit separates the extension structure, glazing, kitchen supply and installation as individually costed lines, so any element can be adjusted without redoing the whole estimate.

Question 2

Does a side-return or rear extension in W12 require planning consent?

Accepted Answer

Most don't. Infilling a side return or adding a single-storey rear extension on a W12 terrace typically sits within permitted development, subject to height limits, the proportion of garden covered, and materials matching the existing house. Three circumstances remove that right: a conservation-area designation on your specific street, an Article 4 direction stripping permitted-development entitlement, or the property being a flat rather than a house. For non-designated W12 addresses, applying for a lawful development certificate protects the permitted-development position on any future sale. PSS establishes the correct route at the survey and advises before any price is discussed.

Question 3

Can a leasehold flat near Westfield or the Television Centre in W12 be fully renovated?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and PSS handles them regularly. Full flat renovations on residential blocks near the Westfield London site and the converted Television Centre — new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, replastering and full redecoration — are standard construction work; the added requirement is leasehold consent. Any layout change, wet-room installation or drainage modification needs a licence to alter from the freeholder or management company before a tool goes in. PSS advises on what scope triggers that requirement, prepares the works schedule in the format the managing agent expects, and runs the consent process alongside pre-start preparations so approval and build don't stack up as separate delays.
