About New Build Rankings
About New Build RankingsWe are building an independent research site so buyers can compare UK housebuilders using public HBF satisfaction data, clearly labelled third-party review scores and practical guides. We do not collect consumer reviews, and ranking positions cannot be bought.
Our aim is to make researching a new build developer simpler by bringing useful information together in one place. Alongside ratings and reviews, buyers can explore developer profiles, developments, comparisons and practical insights to help them understand their options before making a decision.
