Practical Information

Barratt Homes, the developer, has consistently achieved a 5-Star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for 16 consecutive years, based on customer satisfaction where over 95% of homeowners would recommend them. Barratt Site Managers have also won substantially more NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Awards than any other UK housebuilder for 21 years. While this demonstrates an award-winning track record for build quality, prospective buyers should note some independent customer reviews have raised concerns regarding post-completion customer service and property management.

Available homes offer various purchasing schemes, including Movemaker and the Key Worker Scheme. Specific plots are ready to move into, but completion status for other units should be confirmed directly with the developer.
