Recently named one of the UK’s Best Small Housebuilders, Hayfield has firmly established itself as a premium housebuilder. Managing Director Mark Booth shares his insights on what it takes to achieve luxury in new homes.
1. We don’t just build new homes, we build communities
Our homes attract those who desire something different, with more depth, character and longevity than your run-of-the-mill new build property. Today’s buyer wants the whole package – a beautiful new home in a blossoming community.

5. The devil is in the detail
Creating luxury new homes is all about the detail. My advice to any housebuilder or developer that wants to achieve luxury is upholding a commitment to quality throughout every single area of your business. Our vision for doing things differently has been
