Customer feedback is a crucial way for a business to improve. Getting that feedback, however, can sometimes be tricky. Fortunately for Premier Guarantee customers, builders and developers are able to get free customer feedback through our New Homes Survey.
This is part of the Home Builders Federation (HBF)’s Star Rating scheme, one of the UK’s largest customer satisfaction surveys in the new build market.
All survey users will have access to a private dashboard to review and analyse homeowner feedback. They can also change the survey questions to meet their specific needs.
There is no obligation to publish the final star rating.
Plus, builders and developers do not need to be HBF members to join the New Homes Survey but can still enjoy the same access to results via the online portal.
The service is free to developers and builders registered with Premier Guarantee.
No. Customers do not have to sign up for the HBF rating and therefore don’t have to share their results.
You can still benefit from the customer feedback on the portal without committing to publishing the rating.
Simply apply here.

HBF is the principal representative body for private sector home builders and voice of the home building industry in England and Wales.
The 2023 Customer Satisfaction Survey results show that 90% of new build home buyers would ‘recommend their builder to a friend’, the third successive year that the industry has upheld a score of 90% or above.
Additionally, 90% of those surveyed also said they would buy a new build home again, with 85% saying they would buy from their same builder again in the future.
Alex Lyons, Sales Director for Premier Guarantee said: "This is fantastic news for our customers and buyers of new homes.
"House builders can opt into the New Homes Survey and the HBF Star Rating scheme to underline their commitment to quality construction. I am confident the feedback will act as a further endorsement of the work we do with them to maintain high standards of construction."
HBF Executive Chairman Stewart Baseley said: "The star rating scheme is seen as the barometer for a house builders’ performance with regards to customer service. The industry is already surveying around 100,000 customers annually and the addition of Premier Guarantee should allow for the opinions of even more to be considered.
"The scheme demonstrates the industry’s commitment to delivering a high quality product and excellent levels of customer service."
