50 Years of Building Homes and What That Really Means for You

Most housebuilders will tell you they care about quality. Broadgate Homes has had fifty years to prove it.

Since 1976, we’ve been building homes across Lincolnshire — not as a corporate operation passing through, but as a family business with roots in the same communities our buyers call home. That distinction matters. It shapes every decision we make, from the materials we specify to the way we support buyers long after they’ve collected their keys.

This year, we’re marking fifty years — and we wanted to take a moment to explain exactly what that half-century of experience means when you buy a Broadgate home.

Craftsmanship that doesn’t cut corners Quality isn’t a marketing line for us — it’s a professional reputation we’ve spent five decades building. Every home we build goes out with our name on it. That’s a responsibility we take seriously, and it shows in the finish, the layout decisions, and the materials we choose. We build homes we’d be proud for our own families to live in. That standard hasn’t changed.

Features that keep working for you Modern life asks more of a home than it did in 1976. That’s why every home at The Furlongs at Holland Park comes with solar panels, battery storage and an EV charging point included as standard — not as expensive upgrades. These aren’t gimmicks. They’re practical features that reduce your energy bills from the day you move in, and they reflect our belief that a new home should give you something back.

The average Furlongs homeowner saves an estimated £1,353 per year on energy costs compared to a typical older UK property.* That’s a meaningful difference, month after month.

Community, not just a development We’re Lincolnshire builders. We know the schools, the high streets, the roads. We choose locations because we’d want to live there — and we think carefully about how a new development fits into its surroundings rather than imposing on them. The Furlongs at Holland Park in Spalding was chosen for exactly this reason: well-connected, well-located, and part of a community that was already there.

A partner, not just a seller When you buy from Broadgate, the relationship doesn’t end at completion. Our aftercare team is there for you after you move in — because we know from experience that the questions and small things that need attention don’t always show up on moving day. That continuity of care is something only a developer with our history can genuinely offer.

Fifty years is both a milestone and a standard. It means every home we build today carries the weight of everything we’ve learned — and the responsibility of everything still to come.

If you’re thinking about your next home, we’d love to show you what the Broadgate difference looks like in person.
