About Durkan

Durkan combines private housebuilding with regeneration work across London and the Northern Home Counties. The family business has more than 50 years of construction experience, with new homes for purchase delivered through Durkan Homes. Its sister operation, Durkan Regen, works on existing housing through refurbishment, maintenance, retrofit and building safety projects for housing associations and local authorities. Based in Borehamwood, the group therefore covers both the creation of new residential developments and the improvement of homes already in use.

  • Below the middle of the pack

    Durkan sits 0.6 points below the median score of 94.7% across the 52 HBF-rated developers.

  • A large sample behind the score

    The 87 buyers surveyed is the 34th largest sample of the 52 developers, so the score is less likely to swing on a handful of answers.
