Elivia Homes

Elivia Homes represents the coming together of our two regional, award-winning businesses, formerly known as Vanderbilt Homes and Crayfern Homes. Vanderbilt Homes was founded in 2004 and now operates as our Central region, while Crayfern Homes was founded in 1992 and operates as our Southern region. Together, Elivia Homes is committed to delivering sustainable growth and maintaining a proud reputation as one of the most trusted and admired housebuilders across the South East.

We are dedicated to building unsurpassed developments that help people and places thrive. Our developments are made by the finest craftspeople to create homes unlike any other. Throughout the design and build process we consider the finer details of how life will be lived in our homes, delivering not just a property, but instead a home.

We have years of experience and shared expertise across our Central and Southern regions that enables us to produce developments of distinction. Our sales team will help to find your dream Elivia home and guide you through the process to ownership. Whether you’re part exchanging an existing property or looking for a new start, our characterful developments are an exceptional place for a life well lived.

  • 2023 - BEST MEDIUM HOUSEBUILDER - Bronze award
Award Comments
A new name to many, but Elivia Homes comes with serious industry pedigree, within its people and its businesses. Last year, the Vanderbilt and Crayfern
housebuilding brands were brought together to create Elivia Homes, followed by the sale of the company to funds advised by Octopus Investments.
The plan is rapid growth and significant land acquisitions have included the residential land portfolio of Seaward Properties.
Also, at the start of this year, Elivia acquired Kent-based Millwood Designer Homes. The company, led by CEO Chris Chiles, is very much design-led in outlook, suited to its well-chosen locations, such as Blake’s View in the West Sussex village of Lavant.
Any development in close proximity to the South Downs National Park requires sensitive and extensive consultation and the end result is an outstanding new-build scheme, comfortable in its own skin and the local community, with Elivia building a new sports pitch for the village.
Sustainability is a core tenet, with nearly three-quarters of its homes built using sustainably sourced timber frames, embracing MMC and carbon reduction commitments and minimising waste onsite. Elivia prioritises local suppliers and materials, and, among its own staff, encourages a culture of ownership and collaboration to reward, retain and develop its people.
