Stewart Baseley, executive chairman of the HBF, said: “To have 90% of consumers recommending you is a fantastic achievement and demonstrates the industry’s overwhelming commitment to delivering high levels of customer service. This year’s survey shows the vast majority of customers are happy with their purchase and the service provided by their builder.

Homebuilders remain focused on driving improvements in this area and the creation of an independent New Homes Ombudsman and a more robust Consumer Code will support this drive and should lead to even higher levels of customer satisfaction moving forward.”

Andrew Marns and Richard Oldroyd, Divisional Chairmen for Bloor Homes, said: “To have achieved five-star status for a fifth consecutive year is a credit to all our teams who consistently put our focus on quality of our build and great customer service into practice. It reflects all the things we are doing right as a housebuilder.

It begins when customers pay their first visit to us and continues to when they walk over the threshold of their new home and continues long after they’ve moved in by our Customer Care teams who look after our customer’s needs.

Congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard to make our customer journey the five-star standard it is.”
