Crest Nicholson

Highly regarded and well established within the housebuilding community, Crest Nicholson has been building new homes for over 50 years. The company is well known for building not only properties, but sustainable communities as well.

Its property portfolio ranges from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom detached houses, each of the highest quality, and suitable for all types of buyers, from first-time buyers, growing families, downsizers, and even those looking to invest in buy-to-let properties.

The housebuilder is aiming to be the market leader in the design and delivery of both sustainable homes and mixed-use communities.

Over the years, the company has won numerous awards for its developments. In 2019, it took home Bronze at the WhatHouse? Awards for both the Best Public Realm and the Best Regeneration Scheme categories plus Silver in the Best Sustainable Development category.

Crest Nicholson has a number of incentives and offers for those looking to purchase a property, including Help to Buy, Part Exchange and SmoothMove, where it will help you sell your current home, and even pay your estate agent fees.

Since 2005, Crest Nicholson has supported Variety, the Children’s Charity, raising over £1m for the charity.

Award Comments

Unsurprisingly, local authorities get very nervous about development in England’s only World Heritage City; however, the trust they showed in Crest Nicholson was not misplaced.
When finished, Bath Riverside will provide 2,000 much-needed homes, with a quarter offered at affordable housing rates. The fact that the site had been derelict for 25 years reflects the scale of the challenge that Crest Nicholson undertook when it signed up to redevelop the former gasworks. It also illustrates what is possible with the right developer.
