Port Homes originated in Hartlepool and with ties to Port Ventures, has been in the housing game since 2011. Port Ventures’ first homes were typically single renovation projects. However, through carefully planned steps, Port Ventures has laid the foundations to develop Port Homes in to a portfolio which reflects the aspirations of a much broader range of home buyers through medium scale developments.
Since our renovation days, our vision has always remained the same, which is to deliver a creative and quality home to those that matter, our customers. This is achieved through carefully chosen developments and a dedication to customer satisfaction. Firstly as a responsible housebuilder, our sites are always in well-connected areas, meaning you will always find local amenities, schools and medical centres nearby, ensuring you can rest easy knowing you will be buying a home in a community you will be proud to call home. Secondly, each of our houses are designed to balance the need for high quality living, with the demands of a modern lifestyle. This is achieved through our expert design team, who concentrate on delivering quality through space saving techniques and using the latest innovations to support your home being eco-friendly. Together, this results in outstanding quality homes.
We understand how important a decision buying a home is, so we are here to support you through every step of the process to turn your dreams into a reality. We operate with the highest ethical standards and provide a service with upmost openness and honesty, an approach that has allowed us to develop excellent customer relations.

The Consumer Code for New Homes has been established to ensure that best practice is followed in respect of the marketing, selling and purchasing of New Homes and to set expected standards for after sales customer care service.
The Code establishes mandatory requirements that apply to all Developers registered with the Code.
Consumer Code for New Homes Ltd is the Code Sponsor, the body which manages the implementation and effectiveness of the Code.
Where a Developer (or their Agent) is found to be in serious breach of the Code, the Code Sponsor can apply a range of sanctions, including removal from the Code’s register of members. This will also result in removal from the registers maintained by the Warranty Bodies.
The Code provides an independent Dispute Resolution Scheme for complaints that arise and are made in writing to the Developer within two years of the date of the Completion of the New Home purchase.
The Code also benefits second and subsequent Buyers of the New Home but only in respect of after sales matters reported within two years of the date of the Completion of the New Home purchase.
Nothing contained within this Code affects a Buyer’s existing legal rights and does not replace any existing legislation regarding the sale and marketing of New Homes to consumers.
