OUR HERITAGE 

PH Property Holdings Ltd was founded over 25 years ago and quickly established a reputation for building the highest quality homes in the very best locations for the most discerning clients.  

From listed barn conversions to the recreation of an English Country Estate, we’ve built some of the finest homes in Cheshire, and in 2005 we extended our philosophy to Port Andratx, one of Mallorca’s most exclusive and glamorous locations where we’ve created some of the most spectacular villas in the Mediterranean. 

We’re now focusing our attention on more traditional family homes. Drawing on the wealth of experience and expertise gained operating in the upper echelons of the housing market, we’re bringing new levels of style and sophistication to a much wider but equally discerning audience. 

We pride ourselves on our ability to offer levels of service and quality which are second to none within our industry. Every home we build is treated as if it were for our own occupation. Working alongside our award winning architects and designers, we spend hours painstakingly revising design details until they are just right. 

This broad depth and range of skills has seen PH Homes grow into one of the most successful house building companies operating today.
