About us

Bargate Homes was established in 2006 to be a truly differentiated homebuilder in its product and guiding principles. To be better, not big. To focus on doing the right thing, in delighting customers; not prioritising margins and shareholder returns.

To reject the malaise of mediocrity in new homes design and build standards and appalling levels of customer service. To recognise corporate responsibility; to have a purpose beyond profit. To demonstrate a duty of care in development, to enhance the beautiful local area we all choose to call home and give back to the communities in which we develop. To be the brand that cares in a marketplace that seemingly does not.

This vision is as true to the business now as it was then, resulting in our enviable reputation. Indeed, VIVID’s acquisition of the business and decision for the business to continue to operate independently is a further endorsement of the appeal of our ethos.

Our family of employees choose to live where we build. And are proud to do so. They do so because it is one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Moreover, they demonstrate a passion to build truly aspirational homes and landmark developments. Combined, that translates to a self-imposed responsibility: to create homes and developments that enrich the place we all call home.
