Elan Homes

Elan Homes, a privately owned UK housebuilder

Elan Homes is a privately owned developer that describes itself as a niche housebuilder, positioning its activity around quality of construction and a limited number of sites rather than volume. The company states that it has built up experience in the building industry and has established a reputation in that segment. Its stated objective is to build homes that respond to local housing needs and to create what it calls vibrant and sustainable communities.

The portfolio is presented as executive family housing with traditional exteriors and styled interiors, aimed at buyers looking for character and a high specification. The company also emphasises that its homes are conceived for multigenerational living, with layouts that can be adapted to different family arrangements.

Where Elan Homes is building

The developments listed on the site are grouped by region and span northern England, the Midlands and the southwest. In the north and northwest the company lists North Brook Gardens in Leigh, Wigan; Garrett Hall Fields in Wigan, Greater Manchester; Hazelfields in Poynton, Cheshire; Hollins View in Warrington, Cheshire; Oak Grange in Congleton, Cheshire East; Redwood Gardens in Blackpool, Lancashire; St Marks Pavilion in Stockport, Greater Manchester; and Tower Gardens in Darwen, Lancashire.

In the Midlands the listed sites are Berkswell Rise in Balsall Common, Warwickshire; Lorne House @ The Sidings in Lichfield, Staffordshire; Millbridge in Shuttington, North Warwickshire; and Sandbourne Gardens in Bewdley, Worcestershire. A further development, Seascape, is located in Ilfracombe, Devon. The site also names Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Flintshire, Lancashire, Somerset, Devon, Staffordshire and Worcestershire among its locations, and refers to overseas buyers.

Status of the individual developments

The site marks the commercial situation of each scheme at the time of writing. Berkswell Rise is flagged as coming soon. Lorne House @ The Sidings is listed with only a show apartment remaining, and Millbridge with one plot remaining. Redwood Gardens appears under new releases, Seascape has a new show home, and Tower Gardens has phase 2 released. The remaining developments are presented without a specific availability note.

Specification and construction approach

Elan Homes states that it selects premium materials and works with tradesmen it considers skilled, with attention to workmanship in elements such as fitted kitchens, floors and skirting boards. Kitchens are described as including high-end appliances, often as standard, with a choice of cupboard and worktop finishes; bathrooms are presented as a luxury element with fine detailing. Buyers who purchase at an early build stage can personalise the finish of the property.

The company also stresses a sensitive approach to planning and a sales team oriented towards customer care, which it presents as the basis of its reputation for building in sought-after locations.

Buying schemes and customer support

The site sets out a range of purchasing aids: Deposit Boost, Part Exchange, Easy Move, an Early Bird option and a Recommend a Friend scheme. It also provides a Moving Home Checklist, a Mortgage Checker, a Customer Charter and reference to the Consumer Code. After-sales support is framed around an NHBC Warranty, a personal approach, FAQs, emergency contacts and a complaints policy.

Energy performance argument

Elan Homes devotes a section to the running costs of a new build compared with older housing, citing the HBF Watt A Save Report of October 2024. According to that information, energy bills could be up to 64% cheaper in a new build, with savings of over £201 a month and more than £2,400 a year; an average new home would emit 63% less carbon than a typical older home, a saving of 2.23 tonnes of carbon. The same source puts average annual consumption at approximately 8,552 kWh for a new build against 20,477 kWh for older properties, a 59% reduction, and notes that 86% of new builds hold an A or B EPC rating compared with 5% of older properties. The company uses these figures to argue that a new home avoids renovation costs and hidden expenses associated with upgrading an older property.

Corporate profile and other activity

Beyond sales, the company maintains sections on land enquiries, working with Elan, its history, careers and news, and publishes policies covering data protection, cookies, legal information, privacy, modern slavery and human trafficking, tax strategy, candidate privacy, corporate and social responsibility, complaints and sexual harassment prevention.
