Persimmon Homes leads, with 1,895 homes for sale on 153 developments: 9.5% of every new home for sale in England. Taylor Wimpey follows with 1,645, then Bellway with 1,451.

Homes for sale is a measure of what a buyer can choose from, not of how many homes a builder completes in a year. A builder selling quickly can have fewer homes on sale than one selling slowly, and a builder releasing a new phase can jump up the table in a week.

Brands and the groups behind them

Several of the best-known names are brands of the same company. Barratt Redrow sells as Barratt Homes, David Wilson Homes and Redrow; Persimmon as Persimmon Homes and Charles Church; Vistry as Bovis Homes, Linden Homes and Countryside; Bellway as Bellway and Ashberry Homes. Counted together under their owners:

9. Gleeson Homes398
10. Davidsons Homes

Barratt Redrow is the biggest seller of new homes in England today, with 3,779 homes for sale across 5 brands: 19% of the market. Persimmon is second, with 2,448. The three biggest groups between them sell 39.6% of the new homes on the market.

Brands of one group belong to the same company, but each is priced and specified for its own buyers, which is why the groups keep the names apart. Compare the homes, not the logo.

How concentrated is the market

The five biggest brands account for 38.5% of the new homes for sale in England, and the ten biggest for 58.4%. 38 builders have 100 or more homes for sale, and the rest range from regional builders to housing associations selling homes outright.

For a buyer the long tail matters: the big builders have the most developments, but a regional builder may be the only one building in a particular village. Our builders directory lists every builder with homes for sale, most homes first.

Prices by builder

The middle asking price of the homes for sale from each of the biggest builders:

1. Gleeson Homes398 homes£229,995
2. Persimmon Homes1,895 homes£319,999
3. Lovell507 homes£350,000
4. Barratt Homes1,180 homes£359,995

7. Bellway1,451 homes£400,000
8. Bloor Homes585 homes£425,000
9. David Wilson Homes

Among the builders with at least 30 homes for sale, Gleeson Homes has the lowest middle asking price, at £229,995, and Bewley Homes the highest, at £725,000. Much of the difference is what and where each builds: a builder of flats in London and a builder of family houses in the North East are in different markets.

Size differs by builder too. Our article on the average size of a new build house compares the floor area of each big builder's 3 bedroom homes.

Offers and price cuts by builder

The share of each builder's homes for sale that carry a stated offer, beside the share listed below their first price:

With a stated offerBelow first price

1. Bellway98%3.2% cut
2. Gleeson Homes98%0% cut

5. Miller Homes71%10.9% cut
6. Persimmon Homes68.5%5.2% cut
7. David Wilson Homes68.1%0% cut

Bellway states an offer on 98% of its homes for sale, the highest share among the biggest builders. Some builders state an offer on almost every home; others prefer to cut prices, or to negotiate one home at a time without advertising an offer at all. A builder with no stated offer may still agree to one, so ask.

To weigh an offer against a lower price, use the offer comparison tool, and see the incentives page for the offers worth most today. Our tracker of new build price cuts shows which builders reduce prices most often.

Choosing between builders

The size of a builder tells you about choice and reach, not about the quality of a home. Before you reserve, look at the things that do.

• The New Homes Quality Code. Builders registered with the New Homes Quality Board commit to its code, and their buyers can take a complaint to the New Homes Ombudsman. Our guide to the code and the ombudsman explains what it covers.
• The warranty. Almost every new home comes with a structural warranty, usually for ten years. Our guide to new build warranties explains what they cover and what they do not.
• The home itself. Floor area, specification, the plot and the price per square foot. Compare plots puts two or three homes side by side, and the viewing checklist gives the questions to ask at the sales office.

How we worked it out

The figures cover every new home NewHomeSearch lists as for sale in England today, read each day from the builders' own websites and the listings portals through HomePortfolio. A builder is counted by the brand its homes are sold under. A group's figures add up the homes of its brands, as each group names them on its own website; the groups were last checked on 7 November 2026.

A builder's prices and sizes are shown only when it has at least 30 homes for sale, so a builder with a handful of homes cannot top a table by chance. An offer is counted when a builder's website or a home's listing states it. Every figure is worked out again from the day's listings each time the page is opened. Read more in the methodology.
