Site visits are available across Brockley (SE4, SE8, SE13, SE14, SE15, SE22). The same team covers New Cross (1 mile), Greenwich (1 mile), Catford (1 mile), Peckham (2 miles), all within easy reach.
Across London, terraced houses with narrow side returns and tight access are the norm, which shapes everything from party wall notices to how materials reach the back garden.

Do I need planning permission in Brockley?
In England an annexe that stays part of the household and connects to the house is assessed as an extension, but its size usually takes it beyond permitted development, so a householder application describing the ancillary use is the normal route.
The planning position for a specific Brockley address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Your questions about an annexe extension in Brockley
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Brockley, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Brockley be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
How long does an annexe extension take to build in Brockley?
On site, typically 16 to 24 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 10–16 weeks design and approvals.
How much does an annexe extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,600 to £4,940 per m² including VAT. A one-bedroom annexe of about 35 m² is typically £109,000 to £136,500 at standard spec in Brockley.
Does an annexe extension need planning permission?
Usually yes, because of its size and the way it will be used. Councils check that it stays ancillary to the main house, so the application must describe the use clearly.
