Putterills has a specialist Land Department at Bridge Street in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. One of our roles is to identify and progress development opportunities, be they for newly built homes or conversions of existing sites and properties - using unrivalled local knowledge and expertise. The demand for development sites continues to be strong and, with supply limited, this is unlikely to change as the presumption against development in the Green Belt continues to prevail. In line with these planning guidelines we spend a lot of time looking at opportunities to re-develop previously used sites and buildings, often referred to as "Brownfield land" as part of new property development. Once a site has been identified, we can recommend the most suitable type of development within existing planning guidelines. We can work with the landowner to progress the project through to a planning approval and then introduce the site to our comprehensive database of builders and developers - ranging from small local companies through to the national house builders. If our clients don’t want to go through the planning themselves we can find a development partner who will fund the planning process with an option to buy the site once planning has been obtained. In addition, some developers have dormant sites that they no longer wish to build, so we also offer a confidential site sales service as well. The Department in Hertfordshire is led by Ken Lee. Ken has been involved in the property development business since 1981 working, at director level, with major national companies and smaller niche developers on land development projects. As a Chartered Surveyor, he has the experience and knowledge to recognise and co-ordinate opportunities - from small sites to more complicated, brownfield and multi party site assemblies - with the skill and professionalism to get the best deal for land and property owners. The Land Department’s activities and contacts are very important to the generation of sales of new homes. We work alongside other property professionals such as planning consultants, architects and solicitors to ensure our clients have access to the best possible advice.

Outstanding!!
A well deserved 5 star review!
As first time buyers we were not entirely sure what to expect or where to start when it came to purchasing our first home! But luckily our estate agent was second to none! From the very second she showed us around the property to the moment we completed Kay was always at the end of the phone and on hand to help with anything we needed.. She ensured throughout the entire process that everybody who needed to be in contact was; and was always quick to update us with any progress. Thanks to her the entire process ran smoothly and she made the daunting experience of buying our first home both enjoyable and personal. We cannot recommend her and Putterills highly enough. .
We are extremely grateful for the high quality of service we received and thanks to Kay we are looking forward to living in our wonderful new home.
Thank you so much.

Extremely professional service!
From the very beginning of the process, Kay has been really accommodating, facilitating viewings at short notice and at weekends which was a great help as we lived in another part of the country. She was extremely professional, gave us regular and clear updates, responded to queries quickly and made the whole process much less stressful for us. Would have no hesitation in recommending Kay and Putterhills! Thank you very much! Alecia Barry & Colm O’Gorman

Prompt and professional service from the agents who dealt with the sale of the apartment
Although happy with the service provided by Putterills, I was disappointed that being such experienced agents who have dealt with sale of new build before could not foresee or predict accurately the time the developer would take to deal with such a large project. As a consequence, the flat has cost us more than what we had budgeted for.
