Competition watchdog extends investigation into housebuilders

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is extending its ongoing investigation into suspected breaches of competition law by seven major housebuilders.

The CMA launched a probe last February following concerns that the companies may have exchanged competitively sensitive information with other housebuilders, which could be influencing the build-out of sites and the prices of new homes. 

The housebuilders whose activities are being investigated are:

  • Barratt Redrow plc and its group companies
  • Bellway plc and its group companies
  • The Berkeley Group plc and its group companies
  • Bloor Homes Ltd and its group companies
  • Persimmon plc and its group companies
  • Taylor Wimpey plc and its group companies
  • Vistry Group plc and its group companies
