Air conditioning for flats and apartments in New Malden
In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep. Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in New Malden.
In New Malden apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. We cover New Malden as part of London, roughly 9 miles from central London. Coverage includes KT3.
Prices in New Malden
Guide prices around New Malden run from £1,795 to £7,845 per flat, one room to the whole flat including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. For reference, the Two rooms option in New Malden (twin multi-split for living room and main bedroom) usually comes to about £3,495–£5,195.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Consent and planning for flats
Leaseholders in New Malden usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. In England, permitted development allows one outdoor unit of up to 0.6 m³ on a block of flats; anything more needs planning permission.
