About us

Laxton Properties was established in 2008 and is run by Giles Holder and Ed Whetham, both of whom are Chartered Surveyors. Based in Berkhamsted, the company focuses on the development of high quality, attractive homes within Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas.

Our passion is to create developments which deliver genuinely positive benefits; for local communities, landowners, those employed in the development process and for our purchasers.

We have a small team of colleagues who each bring different skills to the design and delivery of development projects. We also work repeatedly with a trusted group of local sub-contractors who have grown alongside us and who care as we do about the quality of the homes that we provide.

In addition to their professional qualifications Giles studied Engineering at Bristol University and Ed studied Geography at Oxford University. Both are married with young families and have strong links to the area where the business is based. We believe that this local focus, combined with a professional attitude and experience sets Laxton Properties apart as a local developer of real substance.

As well as Laxton Properties, Giles and Ed are directors of Horstonbridge Development Management, which provides Development Management and Project Management services for clients, typically on larger scale and complex development projects.
