We have been so pleased with the entire process of buying our new home. All the staff we have been excellent to deal with. Everyone is very pleasant and any queries are answered promptly. Everyone has been most helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending Risby Homes, far better quality than our previous new build which was purchased from a well known builder.

Recently relocated to Beverley. Very, very happy we chose to buy a Risby House. From the start the service has been excellent, both Jemima and Amanda have been extremely helpful guiding us through the process and answering all our queries promptly and fully, no matter how trivial some of them seemed.
Whole purchase process went incredibly smoothly.
We have now been in our house a few weeks and are pleased to say this excellent service has continued with Iain ensuring that any little niggles (and they are only little niggles, as the quality of the build is exceptional) are dealt with quickly. Tradesmen are quickly sent to professionally deal with any minor issues and again each one of them has been very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them.
We are so pleased with our new home and the quality of all the work. Looking forward to spending many happy years here.
I cannot recommend Risby Homes highly enough

Outstanding Experience with Risby Homes – Special Thanks to Amanda Meadows!
From start to finish, my experience of purchasing a new home with Risby Homes has been nothing short of exceptional. The quality and attention to detail in the build are second to none — it’s clear that Risby Homes truly cares about craftsmanship and creating homes people are proud to live in.
What made the whole process even more enjoyable was the incredible support I received from Amanda Meadows. Amanda went above and beyond at every stage — from the very first viewing to the final handover. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm was perfectly executed. Her calm demeanour, patience and regular check-ins reassured me throughout the entire journey.
Buying a home can often be stressful, but thanks to Amanda’s guidance and Risby Homes’ exceptional standards, it was an absolute pleasure.
I’d also like to thank Jemima for her efficiency, site manager Ian for his patience during the home demonstration and groundworker Geoff for his practical no-nonsense approach.
If you’re looking for a new build that feels extra special, combining quality, integrity, and outstanding customer service, choose Risby Homes!

We recently moved into our Risby home and are so happy we stuck with the process.
As for any new build and one of the first on the development, you may encounter delays. The correspondence we received from Jemima with updates and visual pictures reassured any stresses we had. Jemima was just wonderful to speak with, friendly and transparent- which is all you can ask for.
From selecting flooring, to designing our dream kitchen, we have been supported all the way. Thank you to Risby’s chosen suppliers, East Yorkshire Carpets for our gorgeous herringbone flooring, and to the guys at BMS Kitchens that outdid themselves with helping to design and then fit our incredible kitchen.
We could not be happier with the quality, high standard, high spec and overall result. Our home really is a dream home! We are even more impressed with the care and excellent personal service from Risby Homes, you don’t feel like a number, the family owned company definitely makes the buyer feel valued. Thank you again to Olly, Mark, Paul and all the team.

We visited the the Risby show homes open day and were very impressed with the high quality of the homes and the professionalism of the staff. We had a lovely time being shown around the site by Richard and meeting and chatting to staff and future home owners. The atmosphere was relaxed and we did not feel under any pressure to buy a home.

We love our Risby Home and could not fault the whole buying process from start to finish. Our house is superb quality and is the only house we have ever bought where we could literally not find a ‘snag’. We loved that we could make changes to the plans and individualise everything – we added an extension and made design changes to our kitchen. The range we could choose from was extensive and we fully designed our own kitchen and bathrooms and made changes such as to the staircase and location of the patio. Everyone was so helpful and informative throughout the whole process, particularly Olly and Trina and we would not hesitate recommending Risby to others. We also have a great community on our development which is an added bonus!

We love our Risby home, the quality of the finish surpassed our expectations of any new build home and we loved the process of designing our own kitchen. Jemima has been friendly and efficient in dealing with any snags since moving in and the builders are helpful and friendly.

Cannot Fault the team at Risby homes in anyway. There customer service from Start to finish and even after moving in is fantastic. You can always get hold of someone and are not put through to a switchboard system.
There building team clearly take pride in there work and this can be seen in the quality of their homes produced. Plus all the custom designs you can make to your property during the build to really make it your own.
Would recommend them to anyone.
Even if you don’t like new builds. Miles above the usual suspects.

We will be 4 years in our Risby home this year and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new home. Our buying experience was very positive and we were able to make modifications to our design which better suited our needs without any issue. Snagging was no problem, the issues were small and were dealt with quickly at our convenience. The quality of the home is great and better than any national house builders homes we’ve seen. 5/5 highly recommended.

I’d recommend a Risby home to everyone. The care and quality is better than any other new builds I looked at, and the sort of modern features you’d choose for a high-end renovation of an older house (oak doors, underfloor heating etc.) All the staff are friendly and helpful, and two years on we still love it, and the few snags that cropped up were quickly rectified. The company is the right size to give that personal touch.
I have no plans on moving, but if I ever do, I’ll be looking at where Risby are building!

Risby build high quality homes. Our new home at Beverley has been above our expectations with the quality of fixtures and fittings being a very high standard.
The buying process was very smooth even during the covid outbreak.
Excellent customer service and a friendly family firm.
I would highly recommend anyone to purchase a new home from Risby homes.
