In February 2024, Bloor was among eight UK house-builders targeted by the Competition and Markets Authority in an investigation into suspected breaches of competition law. The CMA said it had evidence that firms shared commercially sensitive information with competitors, influencing the build-out of sites and the prices of new homes. [7]
As of 2012, Bloor Homes was building around 1,800 homes a year. [8] In 2015, this increased to 2,000 a year due to an upturn in the UK economy. [9]
