Why new build homes work well in Hertford
Hertford blends historic period cottages and townhouses near the centre with generous Victorian villas and modern family homes on the edges, many with the plot space for extensions, garden rooms and full refurbishments. That makes Hertford a great place to build a new home from the ground up, and because we design and build in one team, your drawings are always buildable and your price is set early and honestly.
Planning and building control in Hertford
Hertford sits under East Herts Council. A new build needs full planning permission, which we take you through as part of the design and build service. As a design and build team we prepare the drawings and manage the whole process for you, so there is one team accountable from first sketch to sign-off.
