The developer, which is currently building homes at Wellington Place in the town, has just been awarded the highly coveted five star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for the tenth time since 2015.

To achieve the five star standard, housebuilders must impress people who buy a home from them with the quality of the property and the overall homebuying experience.

The rating is calculated based on the results of surveys which are sent out to new-build buyers eight weeks after they legally complete on their new home. Five stars are only awarded to homebuilders which 90 per cent or more of their buyers say they would be happy to recommend to a friend.

Guy Higgins, Managing Director of William Davis Homes, said: “We pride ourselves on the quality of our homes and the service we give to our homebuyers, and we’re over the moon to be awarded five stars by the HBF for the tenth year in a row.

“Maintaining the highest standards is a team effort, and I’d like to congratulate and thank everyone in our team – now and over the past decade – for their work that has made this possible.”

William Davis Homes is celebrating another milestone in 2025, as this year marks 90 years since the business was originally set up by William Davis himself.
