About Us – Esquire Developments Ltd

SHAPING COMMUNITIES WITH AGILITY, INSIGHT, AND IMPACT

As a dynamic SME developer delivering around 150 homes annually, we bring a unique flexibility to every stage of the journey – from land acquisition to design, construction, and sales. This agility allows us to be responsive, design-led, and detail-driven, ensuring that every home reflects our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Our reputation speaks for itself: over 95% of our homes are reserved off-plan, and both our developments and business have earned national recognition through multiple awards.

Beyond building homes, we are helping to shape the future of housing in the UK. As a founding force behind the Kent SME Developer Network in 2019, we are actively raising standards, influencing planning policy, and mentoring the next generation of independent developers. Quietly and consistently, we are redefining what it means to develop with purpose – partnering with local authorities to create places that enrich lives and stand the test of time.

“Esquire Developments is among the very best of our local developers. We wish we had more of them as they add hard fought texture and quality to all situations they work within. They are at the forefront of everything that is good, bringing forward quality in schemes to reflect the character of the community.”

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

At Esquire Developments, we understand that buying a home is more than a transaction – it’s a pursuit of place and belonging. As an experienced and forward-thinking developer, we place people at the heart of everything we do. From your first enquiry to the moment you step through the door, our team is committed to delivering a personal, transparent, and reassuring experience at every stage.

Our on-site Showhomes, Sales Suites and dedicated Choices Suite are designed to immerse you in the Esquire standard. Here, you can explore materials, finishes and interior design options firsthand – from exquisite kitchen cabinetry to hand-selected bathroom tiles – allowing you to shape a home that truly reflects your vision.

Expect a sense of togetherness, clarity, and complete peace of mind – all from a team that shares your passion for creating a home that’s both inspiring and enduring.

We are also deeply committed to sustainable building practices. Every Esquire home is crafted with environmental responsibility in mind – from the materials we source to the partners we collaborate with. As we meet the demands of modern living, we do so with an eye to the future, building not only for today, but for generations to come.

“Esquire Developments are the elite name in new build homes. There is a ‘WOW’ factor to their show-homes and the quality of the workmanship is far better than any other developer out there. Everyone has been lovely and helpful from the beginning to the end of the purchase, and I recommend all of my friends and family to buy a property with Esquire.”
Mr Foskett, Appleyard

SUSTAINABILITY

At Esquire Developments, we are fully committed to delivering bespoke homes designed to stand the test of time, as well as to answer the exacting demands of modern-day living. In every build, at every step, we take pride in thinking big to work sustainably, often surpassing Governmental initiative standards. And because of our life-long connection in the Kent area, we continue to ensure year-on-year that everything we do reflects and respects the local in the greenest fashion possible.

ESQUIRE IN THE COMMUNITY

Our connection to people, land and property transcends our business. We are dedicated to a better way of working, but also a better way of life, so we’re equally passionate to invest back into the community we live and work and build in.

As part of our social responsibility charter, we actively engage with local charities and sporting groups from grassroots to professional levels, especially those that we have a personal connection with.

The organisations we support include:

Ellenor – Headline sponsor for the annual Twilight Walk, supporting the charity to provide palliative care and support for people of all ages facing terminal illness in Kent and Bexley.
Demelza Hospice – We are pleased to be able to support the Hospice through events as well as partnering with them to help them build a new nursing accommodation as part of one of our developments in Bobbing, near Sittingbourne.
Lighthouse Charity – Emotional, Physical & Financial Wellbeing Support for Construction Workers & their Families
Gravesend Rugby Club – Youth Team Club Sponsorship
Hartley de Sales Football Club – Sponsorship of the Under-13’s team
Cliffe Woods Football Club – Sponsorship of the Under-7’s team
Leybourne Youth Football Club – Sponsorship of the Under-9’s team
Maidstone Rugby Club – Kit Sponsor for the U9’s
Noah Smith – Team GB Academy Cycling

AWARD WINNING

Our pragmatic yet future-facing approach to conducting business and realising a product from tailored inspiration is our pride and joy. It’s the reason why our clients want to share their new home with their friends and family, and why over the last decade our beautiful developments have been nationally recognised by the numerous prestigious awards.
