Avant Meeting Service 10/10

Katie at Avant Homes Altofts was so helpful at our meeting, she guided us through everything and was so reassuring. Every question we had asked was answered thoroughly. We could not thank her more, as first time buyers this process is stressful but she put us at ease. We thank her so much 🥰

Sarah was extremely rude

Sarah was extremely rude and unprofessional. We were repeatedly given inaccurate information which caused nothing but frustration and wasted our time. Despite raising concerns, nothing seemed to be done to address the issues. The whole experience was handled poorly and has left our family extremely disappointed. Customer service should be built on honesty, respect, and clear communication, and unfortunately none of those were shown in our dealings with Sarah as she had no interest whatsoever. Absolutely poor customer service

(Shelby)

My experience with avant wasn’t too good until I got in touch with Shelby. I was told numerous times that I would be called back etc by other team members but that never happened. But Shelby went over and above to help me out and got me information I needed quickly with moving house. You are a great representative of your company Shelby, thank you again.

After Sales Poor, Sales Team Great

We could not fault the sales team, they provided clear updates and we very professional throughout. Since moving in is where the experience really changed, instantly fell into multiple issues and they continued to grow over time. A lot of the issues were cosmetic, which you may expect but we had some plumbing issues that we would consider a major issues especially as these had passed through quality control. When we first moved in the Site Manager handled these issues really well but when they felt these were 'resolved', customer service went dark. We have had several e-mails not acknowledged and no resolution sorted for a large proportion of these issues, with new ones added including fascia issues which we noticed once it rained potentially leading to damp in the future if not resolved. Only reason this is not a 1 star is for the Sales Team, they have been significantly let down by the after care team.

I have been trying for SIX WEEKS to get a complaint escalated after contractors didn’t show up. I received an accusatory email and yet another attempt to get decorators out to the house, despite their needing work done that will require a painter afterwards - a waste of my own time and the decorators time. I have asked six separate times to have my complaint taken further and yet not a single thing has been done to this effect. I phoned the call centre last week, after being promised contact that didn’t happen, and was again promised a call today. I got an email 15 minutes before the call centre closed today to say that they’ve booked in a THIRD walk through in the space of 2 months. WHAT IS THE POINT?? On top of this, they had no idea who was supposed to be calling me. They only emailed me today in response to the email I sent back after being accused of damaging my own home. Why can’t you just do as you say? So now, after waiting all day for another call that hasn’t happened, I am still no further forward. It is absolutely impossible to get anywhere with Avant. The contractors either don’t show up or don’t complete the work. Worse yet, they try to hide the previous terrible work and call it a day. We’d be here all day if I listed every time we’d been let down by Avant. But it’s getting to the point where I have the time. Avant take your money and run. They have completely ruined the experience of buying our first home.

Avants communication and organisation…

Avants communication and organisation was terrible, we had people come to the door for works we were not informed of. Expecting a simple drain check but ending up with walls being drilled into. We understand this needed done but the fact that nobody though to tell us or explain why is absolutely appalling and, sadly, very much in line with overall experience with Avant to date.

First time buyers

We have just moved into our new home at Hackett Grange and so far we are very impressed. The sales process from beginning to end has been fantastic, Keiran has been amazing throughout, as first time buyers we have felt so supported from the first appointment to the day we got the keys. We were very unsure at first buying a new build due to the negative experiences you hear. However, so far our expectations have been exceeded with any issues being dealt with promptly and efficiently. The team have been great so far, definitely recommend.

Terrible customer service

So terrible customer service. They keep delaying everything for us. We have been following up since last 10 months and still they dont respond. Once the house is sold they keep ignoring you. Never ever buy house with Avant. We are in Darach fields Robroyston, Glasgow. Please stay away from this development.
