Why Mill Hill
Self-build doesn't have to mean project-managing it all yourself. In Mill Hill, where land values are high and good plots are rare, the difference between a smooth build and a stressful one is the team behind it. Leafy, semi-rural North London with substantial detached houses and big gardens — strong knock-down-and-rebuild territory. Elizabeth Homes supports self-builders end to end — from finding a plot to handing over a finished home — with as much or as little involvement as you want.
Our process
We help you find and appraise a plot in the area, and confirm what can realistically be built before you buy.
We design your home and manage the planning application, balancing your brief with what will secure consent locally.
We construct and finish the home with our own trades — so your self-build is delivered to a professional standard, on a clear programme.
Common questions
Under the Self-build & Custom Housebuilding Act 2015, London Borough of Barnet keeps a register of people who want to build their own home. Joining it signals local demand and can help the council bring forward serviced plots — it's a sensible first step.
Yes. Good plots in Mill Hill rarely stay on the open market for long. Our site-finding service tracks listings and off-market opportunities, and appraises them so you only pursue plots that work.
Most new-build self-build homes qualify for the DIY Housebuilders VAT reclaim scheme, recovering VAT on materials. We explain how it applies and what to keep for your claim.
Entirely your choice. Some clients want to be involved in every decision; others want a finished home handed over. We flex the service to suit you.
Build costs vary with size and specification, on top of the plot. With the average home in Mill Hill around £715k, a well-run self-build can deliver a better home for less than buying equivalent finished stock. We provide a costed appraisal early.
