Practical Information

Bellway Homes, the developer, is a FTSE 250 company and has achieved 5-star builder status in the national Home Builders Federation (HBF) awards for nine consecutive years, as voted by customers. The company has also been recognised with 'Pride in the Job Awards' for site managers. Prospective buyers should note that Bellway, like other major UK housebuilders, has faced past reporting regarding quality concerns, including fire safety issues on a small number of older developments and a 2024 investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) into suspected anti-competitive conduct across the wider industry. For the most current availability, specific plot prices, incentives (such as deposit contribution offers), and viewing arrangements, it is necessary to contact the developer directly, as the full completion status for Victoria Gate is to be confirmed.
