Barratt Redrow is the UK housebuilder behind Barratt Homes, David Wilson Homes and Redrow. Barratt Developments took its current name after Redrow joined the group in 2024.
Redrow’s old terms are separate
Redrow’s 2019 annual report, still hosted on Barratt Redrow’s website, described a home discount for holders of Redrow plc shares. Barratt acquired all Redrow shares in August 2024. The Redrow page explains that former scheme.
Company story
The older discount reports
Investors’ Chronicle named Barratt Developments among housebuilders offering shareholder home discounts in July 2003.
The helicopter and the housebuilder
Barratt says it became the first housebuilder to advertise on television in 1978. Its history credits the adverts, featuring actor Patrick Allen and a helicopter, with making Barratt a household name. David Wilson Homes joined the group in 2007 when Barratt bought Wilson Bowden.
