Customer Care Fantastic - Poor quality build

Marybeth (Owner)

Redwing Square, NN17

Oct 2023

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

We are close to all local shops and have a Sainsbury's, barbers, hair salon, pets groomers, pharmacy, mini Spa and a takeaway and restaurant aswell as a coffee shop. We currently have a primary, secondary and nursery school with more to be built in phase 2 and a hope of a GPs Surgery. It’s a fantastic location in that regard with Asda , boots, Superdrug and the range only five mins drive away. My street is on a fairly busy road but not had any real problems.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

If something doesn’t look right when you first see it get it resolved as soon as possible. Also do your research on who they hire to build your home before hand if they aren’t fantastic contractors don’t do it. I watched someone compact our lawn when it had to be done a second time using a plank.

What is the best feature of your home:

Hive system came as standard and double oven. The kitchen options were good.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Perfect location - 7 mins to a train station, supermarkets are closer. The area itself has a local Sainsburys, plenty takeaways deliver, schools etc. The Priors Hall management regularly host free events.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

New house movement causes cracks on the walls. Check the garden isn't on a slope.

What is the best feature of your home:

The custom features I could have. Eg, Internet port, dimmer switches, flooring, sockets...
