Staffordshire-headquartered Cameron Homes has retained its five-star customer satisfaction rating for the eight successive year of participating in the esteemed star rating scheme run by the Home Builders Federation (HBF). 98% of customers would recommend the family-owned housebuilder to a friend, which is amongst the highest scores in the UK.

The HBF scheme awards stars for customer satisfaction, based on homeowner feedback in an independent survey. Surveys are sent out to purchasers eight weeks after they have taken occupation of their new home and – as a first for this past year – again at nine months. The blended score ascertains satisfaction levels with the build quality of the property and the service received. Cameron Homes’ combined score of 4.27, places it well above the five-star threshold of 4.15.

Established in 1994, Cameron Homes is on track to construct over 200 quality homes during 2026, to achieve a turnover in excess of £100m. Seven live developments are open to the public in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire and Staffordshire, with a further five being launched this year. Part of the Tara Group, the firm is targeting a £140m turnover by 2030. To aid this expansion, there is a £36m pot to fund new land acquisitions across central, East and South Midlands.

Paul Morrissey, Cameron Homes’ operations director, said:

“We are absolutely delighted with how our customers have rated us as a five-star housebuilder for an eighth successive year. The whole industry has been getting used to the HBF’s new blended score star rating calculation, with customers now surveyed at both eight weeks and nine months. With more data to digest, the key takeaways for us are that Cameron’s build quality score at eight weeks is a staggering 100%. And, our ‘recommend a friend’ score is 98% this year, which is the highest we’ve ever achieved in our 32 years of housebuilding.

“Retaining and bettering our HBF five-star customer satisfaction rating means the world to us. It reflects our continued investment in the design, build quality and customer journey before, during and after completion. To achieve an exemplary approval rating of 4.27 has taken hard work, skill and solid commitment from the entire team and I am immensely proud of the dedication shown.”

Guy Bebbington, managing director for Cameron Homes, added:

“We take great pride in building hand-crafted homes with traditional character. Retaining our five-star status is the result of our team – especially our sales, production and customer care colleagues – working tirelessly together to deliver the best possible home and service to our customers. Collectively, we will continue to grow Cameron Homes by staying true to our values: more homes, same heart.”

The average selling price for Cameron Homes’ two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom houses and bungalows averaged out to £448,000 over the past 12 months.

The firm has three live developments in Nottinghamshire. At Mapperley Meadows in Mapperley, three-bedroom detached houses start from £450,000. At Sylvan in Ruddington, three-bedroom semi-detached homes are priced from £435,000. While at Bramley Fields in Southwell, prices start from £255,000 for a two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow.

There are two live developments within Staffordshire. At Lawnswood in Branston, prices start from £335,000 for a three-bedroom detached Chapman house. While at Octara Court in Yoxall, prices start from £750,000 for a three-bedroom 1,862 sq ft executive detached home with garage.

Last September, Jon Dean, the site manager for Cameron Homes’ £105m Lawnswood development in Branston, Staffordshire was recognised as one of the top site managers in the country by the National House Building Council (NHBC). He was one of 14 across the NHBC’s ‘West’ region to win a Seal of Excellence award, having won a Pride in the Job award earlier this year.

The philanthropic legacy of the founder and former chairman of the Tara Group lives on through the Noel Sweeney Foundation, which was established the year he died in 2020. The Foundation donates over £500,000 per year to local charitable causes, which includes a 5% profit contribution by Cameron Homes.
