We make it happen
We are uniquely well-positioned to grow sustainably and build the homes the country needs
We have ambitious plans to grow and to build over 22,000 high quality homes a year over the medium term. We will achieve our goals through our four strategic priorities:
Delivering a best-in-class customer offering
Driving operational efficiency through differentiated brands
Using capital effectively to drive growth
Leading the industry in sustainability

How we do it

We are determined to be the UK’s leading national sustainable homebuilder, and to lead the industry in build quality and customer service. With a strong regional network and talented people, we are well placed to grow and to deliver the homes the country needs.

A national homebuilder, building locally

We operate from 32 divisional offices across England, Scotland and Wales, with our central Group functions providing support.

Divisional office functions

Our land and planning teams identify land opportunities that fit our business needs, negotiate with sellers to get the best possible deal and figure out planning consents with local authorities.

Our technical teams are involved at every stage of the process, from developing the layout of a site and creating working drawings to providing expertise in helping to build and sell our homes. Plus, they liaise with consultants to help design roads, sewers and open spaces as well as staying on top of the latest building regulations.

Our commercial teams are involved from the beginning, controlling and reporting on cost, so we can estimate build costs of a development before we buy it. Then, throughout the development process, they help set the site budget and targets, monitor costs and negotiate contracts with suppliers.

Our construction teams turn our Technical teams’ ideas into reality and manage some of the most complex and challenging projects around. Our site management teams work with sub-contractors to ensure every building stage is completed to the highest standard as efficiently as possible.

Our sales and marketing teams look after our customers and help them make one of the most important decisions of their life. Our Sales team support customers through their home buying journey and personalisation of their new home, ensure we find the perfect home to fit their needs and provide advice and product expertise to ensure the customer finds their perfect home.

From the moment the keys are handed over, we make sure our customers have someone they can rely on should they have any queries or issues with their new home. Our teams are here to ensure that their expectations are carefully and efficiently managed, working across the business and with suppliers to resolve any issues as soon as possible.

Our finance teams support the business by conducting essential activities, including budgeting, cash flow and risk management, cost control, reporting, and procurement.

Our Group Support functions support our divisional teams with their day to day operations as well as ensuring we stay at the forefront of IT, HR, Law, Planning, Technology and Innovation.

The benefits of multi-branding
Access to a wider customer base
Having more differentiated brands and a wider product range on our sites attracts a larger audience of potential buyers to our developments.
Improved
ROCE
The combination of improved capital and operational efficiency improves ROCE and accelerates cash generation.
Time on site 
greatly reduced
Building two or three brands
simultaneously greatly reduces the overall time needed on the site, accelerating the build out of our homes and improving the fixed cost efficiency of each site.
Viability of larger 
sites unlocked
The ability to accelerate build and sales increases the viability of larger sites where the scale of up-front investment can, without an ability to accelerate both build and sales, deter development.

Financial strength

Our medium term financial priorities:

Synergy delivery: deliver the cost and revenue synergies from the Redrow acquisition, which we are well on track to do, having increased our cost synergy target from £90m to £100m.

Sustainable growth: drive volume recovery, leading to improved fixed cost efficiency, profitability and cash generation.

Margin improvement: Following recent unprecedented build cost having taken a hit in recent years from unprecedented build cost inflation, lower volumes and increased sales incentives, we’re prioritising improving our margin through disciplined land buying, stable build costs (helped by cost synergies) and accelerating completion volumes.

Our capital allocation priorities
Our financial strength has allowed us to announce a share buyback with a minimum of £100m annually alongside our dividend, from FY26.
Strong balance sheet
Our strong balance sheet is the foundation on which we are able to invest, grow and generate returns.
Investment in the business
We invest our capital in growth, leveraging the land channels available to us, before looking at other investment opportunities, for example in our supply chain or innovation initiatives.
Shareholder returns
We are committed to maximising shareholder returns through both our dividend policy and share buyback programme of at last £100m annually.
Diverse land channels
We have developed multiple and diverse land bank channels to help us achieve our growth ambitions. 
Current land bank

Our target current land bank length is 3.5 years on a trailing basis, with a further 1 year of controlled land. Currently, we have the required amount of land to meet our medium term goal of 22,000 completions per year and meet the 3.5 year target if we acquire land on a replacement basis. Therefore, we are able to maintain our disciplined and selective land buying approach.

Strategic land bank

Our strategic land bank is strong and, with the upcoming changes to the National Planning Policy in the pipeline, we have a significantly enhanced opportunity to bring forward strategic sites into the planning system, which will feed into our current land bank. In FY25 we increased our strategic site planning application activity fourfold.

Gladman

We acquired Gladman, the country’s largest land promotion business, in 2022. Gladman operates at arms length from the core business but holds sites within its portfolio for the direct benefit of Barratt Redrow, as well as working with the open market.

MADE Partnership

The MADE partnership, formed in 2024, is a joint venture between Barratt Redrow, Homes England and Lloyds Banking Group. MADE is a uniquely positioned master developer which, through thoughtful placemaking, will create the best new places and towns.

Partner of choice

We build strong relationships throughout the value chain. We’re a respected and trusted partner, forming relationships with land suppliers, our supply chain and our people.

THESE RELATIONSHIPS ALLOW US TO:

Where we are going

Our medium term goal is to grow to 22,000 completions a year, while maintaining our reputation for high quality homes and customer service and our financial strength.

During this period, we’ll be working to deliver the cost synergies from the Redrow acquisition, something we are currently ahead of our initial timeline on, having confirmed £69m of the synergies just nine months after CMA approval.

Revenue synergy sites will also help us deliver our goal by contributing 45 incremental outlets to our portfolio by FY28, providing 900-1,000 additional completions per annum.

Through the synergies and other cost efficiency measures, as well as making efficient use of our land bank through multi branding and a move to higher land creditor levels, we’ll be looking to take our return on capital employed above 20% in the medium term. Our growth plans do not rely on any material improvement in market conditions, rather on our ability to deploy three, high quality and differentiated brands which cover a large proportion of potential customers, coupled with our nationwide coverage.
