Hampshire-based housebuilder Bargate Homes has been named “Developer of the Year” in Premier Guarantee’s 2023 Excellence Awards
The ninth annual Excellence Awards, held by Premier Guarantee, celebrate the highest quality of standards on developments up and down the UK with the winners sitting in the top 1% of all Premier Guarantee sites.
Hampshire-based Bargate also bagged Development of the Year in the 51-100 unit category, in recognition of their Rivercross site in Hampshire at the mouth of the River Hamble.
The Rivercross development delivers sophisticated, sustainable homes
Rivercross features 76 homes including affordable housing across a mix of one-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom homes.
Managing Director at Bargate, Mark White, spoke of his delight at receiving the award: “We are thrilled to have been awarded both of these national accolades. It is brilliant to receive recognition in these prestigious industry awards, and it’s especially pleasing that the judging criteria recognises our development, construction, and marketing processes.”
“Rivercross is our flagship scheme, due to its scale and incredible coastal location, where the River Hamble meets The Solent. It is an exemplary site – delivering 352 energy-efficient homes – which the Bargate team is working incredibly hard to deliver.”
“Our homes are built and finished to an exceptional quality. While the housebuilding industry is dealing with continual change, we are proud of our ‘customer first’ approach and ethos, which the whole company stands and works for. This is reflected in our recent achievement of a 94% approval rating for Customer Satisfaction from In-House Research.”

Ged Duffey, Bargate’s Business Development Manager at Premier Guarantee, praised Bargate for going the extra mile to ensure the best for their customers.
“Bargate Homes’ guiding principle is ‘to do the right thing and delight the buyers of their individual homes’”, he said. “They are doing this and more and it’s what sets Bargate apart.”
