A DEVELOPER of homes for the elderly, which recently opened a complex in Ludlow, has won a top award for the fourth consecutive year.
McCarthy & Stone, developer of Burgess Court, Gravel Hill, Ludlow, has topped the charts in a national survey of British house builders.
The retirement specialist is the only builder in Britain to achieve a double five-star rating in the Home Builders Federation sur vey of customer satisfaction.
It is the fourth time McCarthy & Stone has achieved a “full house” in the star-rating system, meaning at least 90 per cent of customers were happy with the quality of their home and would recommend it to a friend. Furthermore, it was the only builder to win five stars in either category.
The survey – initiated by a Government report on the state of the house building industr y – covers various aspects of house buying from speed of completion to the number of defects found.
McCarthy & Stone, which has specialised for over 30 years in properties for older people, also came top in last year’s HBF survey, using spot checks taken quarterly.
