The Outstanding Achievement Award is granted to companies achieving a Net Promoter Score of 70 or above, whilst the Gold Award is awarded for those receiving a recommendation score of 90% or higher.

This marks the first time we’ve received the Outstanding Achievement Award, a significant milestone as we celebrate our 25th year of building premium family homes and strive towards our vision of becoming the housebuilder of choice in Kent.

Out of the 95 developers working with In-house Research, Fernham Homes is among just thirteen housebuilders to earn this prestigious award. Moreover, we’re proud to celebrate our fifth consecutive year winning the Gold Award for Customer Satisfaction.

These awards, administered by In-house Research, the largest independent research company specialising in the new build and construction sector, are based entirely on customer satisfaction levels from purchasers who completed on their new home in 2023.

Tom Weston, Chief Executive at In-house Research comments:

“It is with great pleasure that I commend your company’s unwavering commitment to excellence and dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction. Your outstanding performance is not only a testament to your hard work but also a reflection of the industry’s collective effort in elevating consumer confidence and bolstering the reputation of the construction sector.”

“Our latest research indicates that the housebuilding industry has attained the highest level of satisfaction across all metrics, with the Net Promoter Score reaching its peak in the last nine years. This commendable achievement underscores the significant strides made by companies like yours in prioritising customer experience and fostering long-term relationships with clients.”

Sean Ellis, Managing Director at Fernham Homes comments:

“On behalf of the entire Fernham Homes team, we would like to say a huge thank you to all our customers for their fantastic feedback and continued support. With over 95% of our customers willing to recommend us to a friend, we are honoured to be among the select few house builders to achieve the Outstanding Achievement Award. Customer Satisfaction is paramount to us at Fernham Homes, reflected in our team’s dedication, evident by our fifth consecutive year receiving the Gold Award.”

In every aspect of customer feedback, Fernham Homes has either met or exceeded the benchmark rating, with evaluations encompassing the condition of homes, response to defects and how special or valued a customer felt.

We are thrilled to share the exciting success and enthusiasm surrounding the recent regional finals of the National League Trust U11 Cup. In late January, the vibrant energy of approximately 100 enthusiastic children transformed Longmead Stadium into a buzzing hub of competition and camaraderie.

In the Girls Tournament, we are particularly proud to announce that Tonbridge Angels, represented by the talented girls from Slade Primary School, emerged as the shining stars of the day. These young athletes showcased their prowess on the field, securing victory and earning a well-deserved spot in the semi-final, also known as the ‘South Final.’

The next chapter of this thrilling journey awaits at Slough Town FC on Tuesday, March 19th. As Tonbridge Angels face the challenges of the South Final, their eyes are set on the ultimate prize – an opportunity to play in the prestigious final at Wembley. This is truly a remarkable moment for these aspiring athletes, who will tread the same hallowed grounds as their footballing idols.

As proud sponsors of Tonbridge Angels, Fernham Homes are excited to extend our support to Slade Primary in providing shirts for the whole team to wear whilst taking part in the semi-final to mark this significant achievement.

The road to Wembley promises to be an exciting one, and the dedication and passion displayed by the Slade Primary School Tonbridge Angels team exemplifies the true spirit of youth sports. We encourage everyone to stay tuned for further updates on their journey as they aim for victory in the U11 National League Cup Final at Wembley, scheduled to coincide with the playoff final in May.

Congratulations to Slade Primary School Tonbridge Angels, our enthusiastic cheers and support are with you every step of the way!

The former NatWest bank has been brought back into use following a careful conversion of the prominent Grade II listed building in the heart of the town, representing a £2.5m investment. It now provides a modern office hub, including a centrally-located headquarters for the Kent-based housebuilder, along with a new flexible workspace offering, In The Bank, delivered by Fernham Homes.

Dating back to the early 18th Century, Brook House has an active role in the community once again, bringing over 60 workers into the town, while introducing flexible and adaptable office, meeting room and co-working options (with 40 desks available) for local businesses and residents.

In addition to the new facilities, the refurbishment upgrades the sustainability credentials of the building with full electric heating throughout and secure bicycle parking and showers, while the original carpark has been updated with EV charging to all spaces.

Commenting on the new business hub for West Malling, Cllr Matt Boughton, said: “Fernham Homes new office in West Malling puts the historic former NatWest building to great use. They’ve remodelled the inside to create co-working spaces available for local businesses while bringing high quality employment into the heart of West Malling. It was a pleasure to open their new offices.

“I’m delighted to have a local business investing so much in our community and I wish them well in the future.”

Demand for quality localised workspace is clear with over 60% of the In The Bank flexible workspace already occupied. Toby Massey, Founder of Brim Chargers, a specialist electric vehicle charging supplier, was the first to do so: “Being a technology company, a lot of our work is remote. However, spending time together in a co-working space like this is important for our culture as a team and collaboration. This is what keeps us innovating, solving problems and creating new ideas. Not just with each other, but the other people that we share it with. Working within the housebuilding sector, we’re looking forward to share the same building as Fernham Homes, sharing insights and bouncing ideas off one another. It was a big draw for us along with the convenient location and facilities – it’s like a home from home for the whole team.”

Sean Ellis, Managing Director of Fernham Homes, comments: “We are thrilled to be opening Brook House and our new headquarters in the same year as we celebrate 25 proud years of building new homes across Kent.

“It means a lot to us to bring such a treasured and prominent building back into use for the local community and economy, introducing a new flexible workspace offering and business hub in the town centre.

“This was also the natural choice for our new headquarters. Fernham Homes has a long legacy in Tonbridge and Malling, with many successful relationships, including Spadework, our official charity partner, and our neighbours at The Swan with whom we hosted our first fundraising gala last year raising almost £50,000. We’ve also worked with them to create an exclusive Deli To Desk catering service to In The Bank members, which we know will be popular being loyal customers ourselves.”

In The Bank is due to launch in February. For further information, visit in the-bank.co.uk.

In late 2023, a group of dedicated Fernham Homes staff embarked on a mission – not just to conquer the challenging Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon but to make a lasting impact on the lives of those in need. After months of rigorous training in the crisp winter air, before and after work, the team laced up their running shoes on Sunday 18th February 2024, and hit the pavement to support Spadework, Fernham Homes’ partner charity.

The Fernham Homes team members committed themselves to a demanding training regime, showcasing their determination and passion for the cause. From chilly morning runs to evening sprints, the team dedicated their time and energy to prepare for the Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon.

A Blossoming Partnership

The chosen charity, Spadework, holds a special place in Fernham Homes’ heart. Going beyond traditional approaches, Spadework, the award-winning organisation supports adults with learning and other disabilities, people experiencing mental health challenges and those living with dementia.

The Result: £4,188 Raised

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the incredible support from friends, family, and well-wishers, the Fernham Homes Running Team successfully raised a grand total of £4,188, including offline donations. This generous contribution will go a long way in aiding Spadework to continue their invaluable work.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported us on this journey – those who donated, cheered us on, and shared in the joy of giving back. Your generosity is a testament to the power of community and the positive change that can be achieved when we come together for a common cause.

Continuing to Make a Difference

While the Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon has come to an end, our commitment to supporting Spadework persists. Fernham Homes remains dedicated to making a positive impact in the local community, and we invite you to join us in our ongoing efforts to contribute to the well-being and growth of those facing unique challenges.

The funds will continue to provide significant support in the fundamental operating costs of Spadework’s facilities in Offham, which include a garden centre, café and farm shop, and to make accessibility upgrades across the five-acre site.

Stay tuned for more updates on our community initiatives and future events!

A Cross-Counties Move For The Perfect Downsize

The couple enjoyed five happy decades in their much-loved family home in Thames Ditton, originally drawn to the location for its proximity to the countryside and river, alongside an easy commute for work. A setting which continued to serve them well into their retirement, that they’d never considered living anywhere else.

So much so, when it came to making the move to a more manageable home, they set their sights on a new build within the local area. New build seemed very attractive all round,” Francine explains. “No decorating or alterations were needed, which meant we could move straight in. And there was no upward chain. Having made the decision to downsize, we really didn’t want to delay in view of our age!”

Unable to find a suitable new build home in their much-loved home county, they turned to other life priorities for inspiration: their family. Their eldest daughter had settled in East Sussex, in the High Weald AONB close to the border with Kent. She suggested Hillbury Fields, just 10 minutes away, in a village her parents had always loved. And she was spot on. “We instantly took to the house and the small development. It’s away from the High Street but very near it, which is ideal. The houses are very well designed and in keeping with the local style, while the ponds are a great feature and a lovely outlook to have from our home. Our daughter has a friend locally who was an interior designer, working in London for some 50 years, and she was very impressed by the quality and design of the builds.”

 Unfortunately, their journey to their new home wasn’t as smooth as their finding it with the buyer of their existing property turning out to be less than reliable. “We really didn’t want to lose this home – it was all very nail-biting stuff. Thankfully, Fernham Homes were very understanding and patient.”

John and Francine finally moved into their new home last October (2023) just in time for a relaxing Christmas with the family down the road. And with their very own local turkey from the famous Mabel in Stonegate – a farming hero of the local community for over 40 years.

“We are very happy here. It’s a comfortable modern house, nice and warm. I’ve even surprised myself and quickly gotten the hang of the induction hob. I l love it – it heats soup in less than a minute!! We love the light (even in December) there are so many windows.”

They have also quickly gotten well into life in Ticehurst: “The village is very friendly and we’re looking forward to joining some of the groups in the area like the Petanque club, the Art Society and the History Society. The local pub, The Bell, is marvellous and has craft fairs and there’s lots of local markets like King John’s nursery and Burwash Community market. There’s also lots of National Trust properties nearby; we often go to Bateman’s. 

 “As much as we loved Thames Ditton and I never thought I would want to live anywhere else, we are really appreciating this part of England. There’s lots of exploring to be done. What’s not to love?!”

Prices at Hillbury Fields start from £324,950 for a one-bedroom home with study. For more information, visit Hillbury Fields.

A local fundraising event has raised £47,500 for Kent charity, Spadework, the award-winning organisation supporting adults with learning and other disabilities, people experiencing mental health challenges and those living with dementia.

Spearheaded by Kent-based housebuilder, Fernham Homes, as part of its new partnership with the charity, and hosted by The Swan in West Malling, the inaugural gala brought together almost 120 people for a drinks reception and banquet dinner donated by the owners of The Swan and an auction of experiences and luxury items generously gifted by businesses and individuals across the community.

The result of the evening exceeded Fernham Homes’ three-year fundraising pledge, which aimed to raise £10,000 per year. The gala dinner, along with the team’s other fundraising activities since establishing the partnership earlier this year, sees it on track to raise close to £60,000 by Christmas.

The funds will provide significant support in the fundamental operating costs of Spadework’s facilities in Offham, which include a garden centre, café and farm shop run with the Trainees, and to make accessibility upgrades across the five-acre site. They will also enable Spadework to continue the expansion of its services to offer greater support across mental wellbeing and those living with dementia.

Kris Healey, CEO of Spadework, commented: “This is a truly staggering amount to have raised in one evening and will leave a real lasting legacy, allowing us to have a greater impact on the lives of more people. These are challenging times for any charity and our work is only made possible by the whole-hearted support of our community, which never fails to astound us.

“Our collaboration with Fernham Homes is one of real partnership. The whole team truly lives and breathes Spadework, supporting our work with their expertise, time and wider promotion. They really are exceptionally proactive ambassadors and I’m excited to see what more we can achieve together over the coming years.”

Sean Ellis, managing director of Fernham Homes, explained: “The Fernham Homes Gala was not only a night of fundraising but also a night of celebration, connection, and community. The generosity shown has been overwhelming. We are so proud to be working with Kris and the team and, together, making a meaningful impact on such a worthy cause in the heart of our local community. We look forward to growing our partnership over the coming years and for the gala to become an annual celebration we can all look forward to.”

Nick Levantis, co-owner of The Swan, added: “Darryl (Healy) and I have worked with Spadework for many years and we jumped at the chance to be involved in the gala. It was a great way of bringing the community together and we are thrilled to be able to make such a difference to a charity that plays such an important role in our community.”

Plans have been approved for a new country address in the village of Newington, Kent, from local housebuilder, Fernham Homes.

The new project brings 25 high quality houses, including 10 affordable homes, to School Lane in Newington, in the borough of Swale. In addition to the homes, the development will also create much-needed facilities for the adjacent primary school including a new 20-space car park for its staff and a further 20 spaces dedicated pick up/drop off area for visitors.

A picturesque and well-connected village, Newington is set between Sittingbourne and Rainham on the northern edge of the Kent Downs with a direct train line into central London in around an hour.

The Newington project is the third to secure planning in recent weeks, following one in Faversham, also in the borough of Swale, and another in Longfield in the district of Sevenoaks. Combined, they will bring a total of 213 new homes and a variety of community amenities to Kent, building on Fernham Homes’ 20-year legacy in the region of creating thoughtfully designed, high quality homes in the most sought-after locations.

Sean Ellis, Managing Director at Fernham Homes, said:

“We are pleased to finally be moving forward with these new homes and facilities for the village of Newington. These plans have been through lengthy consultation with the local residents over the past two years and have been designed to meet the needs of the local community.”

Work is due to start on the new site in Summer 2024.

You can contact us here for more information.
