Local planning climate
North Hertfordshire is carrying a material five-year supply shortfall, at around 3.3 years. That strengthens the case for well-designed housing on sustainable sites, though each application still turns on local policy and the character of its setting.
Five-year housing land supply from the North Hertfordshire Council position statement, November 2025 — council source. Figure correct as at that date; supply positions are updated periodically by the authority.
Why Hitchin
Good plots in Hitchin are scarce and the best rarely reach the open market. A handsome market town with a strong historic core and generous Victorian and inter-war plots on its fringes — good ground for bespoke homes that answer local character. Elizabeth Homes finds and appraises plots on your behalf — tracking listed and off-market opportunities, running an early planning and viability check on each, and bringing you only the ones worth pursuing. And because we design and build too, we can take it all the way from plot to finished home.
Our process
We agree what you want to build and where, then search every channel — portals, agents, auctions and off-market — for plots that fit.
We run an early planning and viability check on each option, so you only pursue plots that can actually be built on profitably.
We help you value and secure the right plot — and can then design and build your home on it.
Common questions
Everywhere plots come from: Plotfinder and PlotBrowser, the land sections of Rightmove and OnTheMarket, local agents, auctions, and direct off-market approaches — which is where the best ones usually are.
Yes. Before you buy, we assess planning prospects, access, services and constraints, so you don't pay for a plot that can't be built on.
Yes — North Hertfordshire Council keeps a Right to Build register under the 2015 Act. Joining signals local demand and can help bring serviced plots forward. It's a sensible first step.
Yes. We can find the plot, secure it, design the home and build it — one team across the whole journey, or just the plot-finding if that's all you need.
It's agreed up front and depends on scope. We'll explain it clearly before you commit — and there's no obligation to use us for the build.
