A £4.5 billion legal claim has been launched on behalf of more than 700,000 people against seven housebuilders, alleging anti-competitive conduct. Mark McLaren, co-founder and director of Class Representatives Network, represented by competition law firms Geradin Partners and Hausfeld, is bringing the case for the homeowners against Barratt Redrow, Bellway, Berkeley Group, Bloor Homes, Persimmon, Taylor Wimpey and Vistry Group. They seek compensation for homeowners purchasing a new build home in Great Britain between October 2015 and June 24 2026. These buyers were allegedly impacted by information sharing, paying more for their new homes, they claimed.
