London Developers & New build projects
Exploring the Companies Shaping London’s Skyline and Property Landscape
London isn’t just the UK’s capital—it’s one of the world’s most competitive and dynamic property markets. From riverside skyscrapers to leafy village-style masterplans, developers here are creating homes for every lifestyle and budget. Whether the goal is investment, luxury, first-time ownership, or family relocation, new-build projects in London offer high standards, strong long-term value, and diverse architectural appeal.
In this chapter, we’ll look at some of the key London-based and UK-wide developers behind major new-build schemes—highlighting what they’re building, where they’re building it, and what makes each project distinctive.
What are real estate agency fees?
Estate agency fees, also known as commission, are an amount paid by a developer or an agency to a property agency upon the exchange and completion of the property sale, compensating them for all the work done to sell it. The commission fee varies not only based on the developer but also on the particular project and sometimes the plot. In London, the average commission fee ranges from 0.5% to 5%.
