[7] The company was negatively impacted by the Great Recession, which caused a dip in house prices and Telford Homes' valuation to drop to 20p per share; however, it was not at risk of ceasing operations,[1] with a rise in profits being recorded during December 2008.

[8] The firm's response to the wider economic downturn was to refrain from investing into new land as well as decreasing the completion rate of its open market homes to a below-capacity rate;[9] an increased focus on affordable housing and selling to organisations such as housing associations was also pursued.

[21][22] During April 2018, it was reported that Telford Homes was expecting record profits and revenues for the financial year 2017/18; this performance was partially attributed to London’s housing shortage.

[25] In June 2019, it was announced that the firm would build almost 900 homes at Nine Elms Park in Battersea under a £280 million deal.

[29] During June 2022, it was announced that outsider Anne Kavanagh had been appointed as Telford Homes' chief executive following the departure of John Di-Stefano.
