Customer Satisfaction Survey Results


The National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey is sent to new build buyers 8 weeks after legal completion of their new home. Customers then have 12 weeks to complete and return their forms.

Scores are published quarterly, using 12-month rolling data, approximately four weeks after each ‘reporting period’ closes.

This year's results

The 2024 National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey results show that 90% of new build home buyers would ‘recommend their builder to a friend’, the fourth successive year that the industry has upheld a score of 90% or above.
