Our Story


Michael Paye Snr and Michael Paye created Paye Homes in 1995 having gained priceless knowledge through the painful experience of dealing with contractors whilst building their own family home. They believed their current business standards of service and excellence was lacking from the local development providers and decided to create a company that would offer a new level of quality and professionalism.

Being an independent they knew Paye Homes could not compromise on any element of a new home and set about creating a charter of standards that any contractor, supplier or professional needed to qualify before they worked with Paye Homes. This Philosophy has evolved and helps to deliver the ‘exacting detail’ that goes into every stage of the planning and build of a new home.

Over the last 20 years our consistent quality and uncompromising specification has grown our reputation to build ‘as if it were our own’ rather than purely for profit. Michael Paye says ” Even though we are regularly complimented that Paye Homes provides a superior level, compared to other national and local house builders, I insist that comparables are nice but it’s only the quality of the results that matter and our reputation relies on it.”

We have built and developed blocks of executive apartments, converted ‘listed’ barns, prestigious luxury houses and lots of other projects across this range and feel excited about constantly looking for new ways to push the boundaries of design, build and interiors.

As you will see from ‘Our People’, our own Paye Homes family is growing within our business and our ongoing legacy to our clientele is to build ‘you’ a home that ‘you’ and your family are proud of.
