We won’t be moving again. We knew the quality of home we were getting so we knew this would be our forever home.
It just feels like home!

You just can’t make up how brilliant they are, nothing was too much trouble. They just can’t make it any easier for you and that’s the truth.

The Beaches
“
We just love it. We were looking at holidays and maybe doing a staycation somewhere and then we thought why would we do that, we have everything we need here! The house is beautiful, we’ve got the hot tub in the garden, the sea, and the lovely walks so let's just enjoy all this.

“
That’s what sold us on using Fotheringham Homes, from the start they were really accommodating and flexible.
They have excellent customer service and communication and they’ve given us a really great house.

Parklands
“
I think it was the spotlights above the kitchen counters that first caught my attention, but then looking around further we noticed all the extra special finishes such as the glass on the staircase and the quality of the carpets and blinds. The property just had the wow factor and you could see the quality of all the materials used immediately. I was pretty much sold there and then.

“
The whole process of buying our first home together has been pretty seamless and easy compared to some stories you hear.
We would definitely recommend Fotheringham Homes to any of our friends or family looking for a new home as the quality and customer service just can’t be beaten.

Cairnwell
“
It had a great layout, with a double height entrance hall, open plan layout downstairs and really spacious rooms. The twins could have a dedicated toy room, which meant that we could potentially contain their games a little more and allow us to have a bit more ‘adult space’ for socialising in, without feeling like we are on top of each other.

“
Our whole home buying journey has felt hassle-free and enjoyable. It is safe to say that we’ve found our forever home, and without a doubt would recommend them to others.
From enclosing the garden with fencing, and adding an additional patio area to the small snags after handover - their finishings are exceptional.

Eden Manor
“
Fotheringham Homes have a reputation for building excellent quality homes and I would certainly endorse this. Workmanship is first class and any ‘snags’ are dealt with as soon as practicable. Altogether first class.

“
Was exactly as we agreed, but still able to change some things as the build progressed to enhance the house. This is vital as you only visualise some things as the house takes shape.
The minor extras that were provided and the attention to finish and detail is the highest we have had with a new build. Far better than from other builders we have experienced in our previous homes.

“
Fotheringham Homes have to be complemented on bringing the Old Edenholme in Stonehaven, back to its original splendour.
The main house has been converted into an impressive five apartment development with ten individual bungalows built to a high standard to complement the main house. Low maintenance grounds and off street parking is also a great feature. High quality Kitchens, Bathrooms and workmanship certainly shows in the end product.

“
From starting off with the plans through to the finished house has been a brilliant experience. As this is my first new build, everyone at Fotheringham homes from the directors, office girls, site foreman, builders, joiners, plumbers and electricians have been so helpful. Any problems have been fixed right away and nothing seems to bother them.

The Grange
“
We first purchased a home from Fotheringham House Developers in 1993 and after 25 years, we have returned to purchase again from these quality housing developers with open arms.
To this day, the standard set by the Fotheringham’s have continued to rise and we are still amazed at the careful detail, opulence and splendour that the houses elude. Every characteristic, from the beautiful doors and finishings to the interesting architecture contribute to a stunning home for couples and families alike. Any issues or requests were solved instantly and he has continued to go the extra mile to ensure the transition of moving into this beautiful house go smoothly.
My family and I cannot recommend Fotheringham Property Developers enough and are forever grateful to them for providing us with a home that we fall more and more in love with day by day.

We are absolutely over the moon with our new home at Glithno, and simply cannot speak highly enough of the quality of service and, of course, the finished article!
The exceptional standard of finish is clear to see the minute you set foot in one of their homes, and their flexibility and willingness to help during every phase of the build made the whole process very enjoyable and exciting! This is the third new build property that we have purchased over the years, from various builders and, from our experience, there is simply no comparison in the level of service and willingness to deviate from design or specification where they were able to. It’s as close to a bespoke build as you could expect, and the price was extremely competitive too.
The standard fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality, and there was flexibility to work with each of the contractors involved to make the final design one that was perfect for us.

When we originally moved into our first Fotheringham House, we were astounded at the quality and finesse of the house. The careful craftsmanship was clear to see. When we had the opportunity to purchase a house in the Glithno Development, we jumped at the chance.
To this day, the standard set by the Fotheringhams have continued to rise and we are still amazed at the careful detail, opulence and splendour that the houses exude. Every characteristic, from the beautiful doors and finishings to the interesting architecture, contribute to a stunning home for couples and families alike.
Remarks also must be made on the superb communication between Michael Fotheringham and ourselves regarding every step of the build and design. Any issues or requests were solved instantly and he has continued to go the extra mile to ensure the transition of moving into this beautiful house go smoothly.

After stepping into the show home and discovering the very high standard of build and finish I just knew this was the place for us!
The open plan flow to the houses very much appealed to us and the ability to put your own stamp on your home by designing your own kitchen and bathrooms, as well as changing internals to however you wished. The oak woodwork, doors and finishing are very high quality. The kitchen and bathroom specs were of a very high standard and we had a lot of choice.
We are very much enjoying living in our beautiful new home and have had very few of the usual snagging problems of a new build. We would not hesitate to recommend Fotheringham Homes to anyone looking for a new build home of a very high standard that enables you to add your own touches to make it special.

Brae Road
“
As an owner of multiple Fotheringham homes over various sites, I have always found they provide exceptional build quality, great value and are extremely flexible to accommodate my needs. Michael and his team are so easy to deal with and really helpful, nothing is too much trouble. I often ask them to select the kitchens, bathrooms and tiles for my properties and they always make great choices. My tenants are always really wowed when they walk into one of Michaels houses and I never have any issues.

Where to start, there aren't enough positive words to describe or thank you for all your support during our build.
Even when my husband was away with work you supported and guided me into making some very important choices. The spec, value for money and quality of our home is of a first class standard, you enabled us to build a bespoke home to suit and work around our family. Purchasing off-plan was a little bit of a challenge for me at first, and when I struggled to visualise how the flow of my open plan kitchen/diner would work. You were there to show me other builds to give me an idea of the different layouts.
We absolutely love our home, and it’s all thanks to you and your team. Your guidance, knowledge and support were exceptional. Every visitor we’ve had (and we have many!) congratulate us on having such a beautiful home.

The service I received from Fotheringham Homes has been absolutely exceptional. From the planning stage right through to moving-in and beyond, I have felt supported and valued.
As an affordable home buyer I had expected to be low priority but at no time during the whole process have I felt this to be the case. The standard and quality of the finishings and the build itself is exceptional and I couldn’t be happier with my new home!

“
From the first meeting we knew we had made the right choice, the whole process from planning to completion was so personal. We felt totally supported in any decision we made and very thankful for any advice and ideas put our way.
Having bought new build homes before we were delighted at how Fotheringham's really wanted us to be involved at every step, allowing us to make our new home suit our needs and allowing changes to layout and design where possible. This certainly had not been the case with our previous new build experiences!
After getting the keys to our house, following a lovely personal handover, we still felt totally supported by Fotheringham's. Any little snagging issues were quickly dealt with. You just know that they want you to be completely happy with your new home.

Custom Homes
“
We approached Fotheringhams to build a unique house to a high spec, we were designing. We went to them as we had seen the quality of work on other projects and were confident that they could deliver.
Initially Michael helped with a couple of design issues to keep the project on budget. They have delivered a superior product to an agreed cost and timescale. All of his team are positive, friendly and you feel like it's your home they build as opposed to just another job. They answered calls quickly, and gave great advice on a one off house which was tricky to build.
