Practical Information

Avant Homes operates under the New Homes Quality Code, which includes adherence to the New Homes Ombudsman Service. The developer is part of the Avant Homes Group, acquired by Berkeley DeVeer in 2021. Buyers should note that recent financial reporting has included substantial exceptional provisions (£107 million in 2024 accounts) for fire-safety remediation and material costing errors on legacy developments that pre-date the 2021 acquisition. The company continues to build and offers incentives such as Part Exchange or My Move Made Easy on remaining plots. The showhome is open for viewings, and prospective buyers are encouraged to contact the developer for current plot availability, specific tenure details (freehold or leasehold), and council tax banding.
