Homebuyers could receive compensation if the legal claim succeeds. A proposed class action filed on Tuesday accuses seven major UK housebuilders of sharing sensitive pricing, sales and buyer incentive information that allegedly reduced competition and increased new-build home prices, though the case still needs tribunal approval. More than 700,000 people who bought new-build homes between October 2015 and 24 June 2026 are covered.
