Building better since 1993
Hopkins Homes was established in 1993 by James Hopkins as a family-run housebuilder based in Suffolk and later acquired by Terra Firma, a leading European investment firm, in 2022. This successful acquisition saw the company move from one family-run business to another, with the Hands Family Office being the cornerstone investor of Terra Firma.
In 2024, Terra Firma united Hopkins Homes with another trusted UK housebuilder, Tilia Homes, under the umbrella of a new group company, untypical. untypical aims to make a positive difference to the UK housebuilding market through an innovative approach and a commitment to excellence. Central to untypical’s mission is its focus on creating sustainable, inclusive communities, delivering homes across the UK that people want to live in and are good for the planet.
Hopkins Homes is at the forefront of building distinctive homes and environments that retain the heritage of the past, whilst offering energy efficient modern living. Homes that people trust and aspire to – built by people who care deeply about getting it right.
