GRIGGS Homes

What GRIGGS Homes does

GRIGGS Homes is a third-generation family-owned luxury property developer and bespoke house builder founded in 1968 and headquartered in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. The company operates across North London and the Home Counties (Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Essex, Surrey, and parts of North London including Hampstead, St John's Wood, and Maida Vale), delivering bespoke new build homes, multi-unit residential developments, commercial property development, and personalised interior design services through a portfolio of sub-brands: Griggs New Homes, Griggs Bespoke, Griggs Commercial, and Griggs by Design.

The company runs a vertically integrated operation covering in-house architectural design, planning expertise, construction management, and interior design — eliminating the need for multiple external contractors. GRIGGS earns revenue primarily through one-time construction contracts and land sale transactions (new build home sales, bespoke design-and-build, commercial development, strategic land promotion) plus professional services fees for interior design. Pricing is project-specific with no public price list; example transactions include individual residences valued in excess of £2 million and a 29-acre strategic land site at Haresfoot Farm. Sales are conducted through enterprise field sales, website-driven inbound enquiries, and joint venture partnerships with national developers.

GRIGGS serves four customer segments: affluent individual homebuyers and landowners (primary), JV partners and landowners seeking development managers, commercial/investment clients redeveloping income-producing assets, and affordable housing/healthcare providers (e.g., Thrive Homes for 186 affordable homes at Lyndhurst Farm; Manor View Practice for a 1,000 sqm medical centre at Organ Hall Farm). Notable JV partners include Galliard Homes, Taylor Wimpey, Bloor Homes, Linden Homes, Wates Group, and Success Property. With 53 employees, GRIGGS is a mid-sized specialist operating in a regionally defined niche, with no external investors and revenue not publicly disclosed.
