Homebuilder achieves 500th completion and opens new developments

May 15, 2013 - PRLog -- East Midlands homebuilder, Davidsons have reached their 500th legal completion with a sale at their ‘Grange Meadows’ development in Long Eaton, near Nottingham.

To mark the occasion Davidsons Managing Director, James Wilson, Operations Director Jason Glover and Sales Director, Stephanie King presented champagne and flowers to the purchasers, Tony and Louise Marriott and children Harvey and Tamzin.

Davidsons, who have a number of developments across the East Midlands, recently opened their first development in Peterborough and is set to open two new developments in Leicestershire over the summer. The company was started 5 years ago by James Wilson from a room above his garage. Mr Wilson said “The business was founded on the basis of a passion to build great homes, and to constantly improve. Reaching our 500th completion is a significant milestone - it’s very special and all the team have made a fantastic contribution. We’re expanding and looking forward to our 1000th”.

Mr Glover said “It’s been a challenging market since we set up but there has been a definite upturn, particularly over the last few months.  The development at Long Eaton has sold exceptionally well and there are only a few homes left. We are hoping the new Leicestershire developments will sell as well.”

Davidsons new Leicestershire developments will be at Anstey and Ibstock. ‘St James Gate’ at Anstey is due to open at the start of June and will have two showhomes – a 5 bedroom and a 4 bedroom. Work recently began at ‘Baker’s Croft’ in Ibstock and will open from a showhome later in the summer.

The company has recently offered apprenticeships in house building, in partnership with the David Wilson Foundation, a charity set up and funded by David Wilson, which promotes education for young people in Leicestershire to assist in delivering apprenticeship schemes. The apprenticeships are in joinery, brickwork, design and quantity surveying and will be based at the new Anstey and ibstock developments.

Davidsons have been rated as a 5 star builder in the latest HBF/NHBC customer satisfaction survey – the highest rating. This is a particularly significant achievement, because previously only national builders have been eligible for the survey.

They are also now a member of the Government Help to Buy scheme, designed to help purchasers struggling to buy.
