Detailed planning drawings are available, eliminating grant risk and accelerating time to GDV. According to our financial analysis, optimized cost structures at target pricing of £3.375 million per house yield profit margins of approximately 7.9%, rising to 17.9% at upper-market positioning of £4.75 million per house.
Radlett’s amenities include a vibrant high street along Watling Street with independent cafés and shops, the Radlett Centre arts hub, and Phillimore Recreation Ground just 0.5 miles away. Transport links are exceptional: Radlett Station offers Thameslink services to London St Pancras in around 29 minutes, while the M1 and M25 motorways provide easy road access.
This Radlett development opportunity is ideal for builders or investor-developers seeking a low-risk project in one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable villages. Early pre-marketing can secure strong off-plan sales, and the site’s configuration allows flexible specification to maximise break-up margins.
