For the 16th year running a Five Star customer satisfaction rating was awarded to the McCarthy Stone team in Salisbury in an independent survey by the Home Builders Federation (HBF).
The only developer or housebuilder of any size or type to achieve this accolade each year since the survey launched 16 years ago, McCarthy Stone achieved an overall customer satisfaction score of 93%.
The McCarthy Stone developments on Endless Street, Salisbury, Castle Gate and Monument Place, were designed to provide the best in independent living within a safe and secure environment, benefiting from companionship and privacy.
The Five Star customer satisfaction rating is said to be the highest award new homes developers can achieve and awarded only when more than nine out of ten customers would recommend a company to a friend. The an annual survey by the HBF involved 541 purchasers of McCarthy Stone homes in 2020.
Nicki Beswarick, Divisional Marketing Manager for McCarthy Stone Southern, said: “Everyone at McCarthy Stone prides themselves on offering the very best service and products to our homeowners at all times, so we are thrilled to have been awarded the full Five Stars from the HBF once again.
“Our homeowners have always been at the heart of our business, and this has never been more important than during the last year and through the challenges we have all faced. Our team in Salisbury continues to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of our homeowners is their utmost priority – and to provide the support our homeowners need to live independently as part of a thriving retirement community.”
The HBF award recognises McCarthy Stone’s commitment to maintaining consistently high standards of build quality and delivering excellent customer service over the long-term, with particular emphasis on the developer’s commitment to guiding home buyers through the purchasing process, including the provision of post-sales support.
Stewart Baseley, Executive Chairman at the Home Builders Federation, said: “The survey demonstrates that the industry is delivering an excellent level of service in the opinion of over 90% of its customers. The fact that we have seen four successive years of improved satisfaction levels shows the clear focus builders have been putting on the customer. That this level of satisfaction has been delivered during a pandemic that saw sites closed and builders unable to access homes for a period makes it even more of an achievement.
“The industry remains committed to maintaining the significant progress of recent years and fully supports moves to put an independent New Homes Ombudsman in place to strengthen customer protections and continue to drive up standards.”
