Bovis – a leading housebuilder with a reputation for quality

Exceptional value for money promised by Bovis Homes

Bovis Homes build some of the best residential properties in the UK. From apartments to large family homes, the property developer is known for the quality of its development sites, homes it builds, and communities it helps to create. It employs 1,200 staff and has a strong presence in the south and home counties and into the Midlands from its eight regional operations.

Bovis – 135 years of tradition and quality

Property developer Bovis was originally founded in 1885 as C.W. Bovis & Co. in the London Borough of Marylebone when Charles Bovis bought an existing business owned by Francis Sanders. Since then, the company has changed hands several times, but always retained the Bovis name and its reputation for delivering quality homes.

Between the wars, Bovis developed mostly commercial and retail properties. In the early 1970s, Bovis acquired the New Ash Green development in Kent and sold over 2,000 homes here. It is here that Bovis’s headquarters is located. By 1973, Bovis had become the UK’s second largest housebuilder, completing on 2,659 residential dwellings.

Bovis has always been one of the UK’s most innovative property developers, and in 1993 introduced a new standard in the housebuilding industry – value-engineered house designs built using standardised components and materials.

In 2007, Bovis acquired northern housebuilder Elite Homes Group to consolidate its presence in the North of England.

Creating homes for all

The Bovis product range incorporates two-bedroom starter homes through to large six-bedroom family homes. Design and construction is a perfect blend of the traditional and the innovative. The result is a quality home every time, built with traditional values of craftsmanship for contemporary lifestyles.

A value-driven property developer

Everything that Bovis does is driven by a unique set of values, encapsulating its approach of integrity, care, and quality:

A developer with integrity

Bovis encourages an environment of trust, acting in a fair and reasonable manner towards all, taking responsibility for its actions, and keeping its promises – including delivering homes on time.

A caring house builder

Bovis is passionate about health and safety, as well as communication with employees, business partners, suppliers and subcontractors, and customers. It puts emphasises on understanding individual needs, and values the contributions of others.

A developer committed to quality

Bovis demands high standards across all of its developments, partners and employees. It creates an environment in which learning and development thrive, and insists that high standards and attention to detail are common values on all Bovis developments.

Bovis builds homes of which all its employees can be proud, and which offers exceptional potential to investors.

What you can expect from a Bovis home

Bovis includes many ‘extras’ in its homes that many other builders consider to be ‘optionals’. For example:

• Kitchens are designed to optimise available space, with work surfaces cabinetry, and white goods usually included in the price.
• Most homes benefit from en-suite bathrooms or shower rooms to the main bedroom and often include more than one en-suite.
• Built-in wardrobes offer exceptional space-saving and clean decorative lines in most bedrooms.
