TrustpilotIf i could give it no stars i would
If i could give it no stars i would. Nothing but problems. Faulty wardrobes that was highlighted to them a few months in. 2 years later the warranty was up and they cant do anything. As soon as your house is built and They're onto the next they're not bothered what state they leave your home in. Nothing but trouble from day 1!!

TrustpilotSuper customer service
Lyndsey was incredible, she was friendly, polite and very knowledgeable, both about the particular homes we were looking at and the site in general. She gave us plenty of time and made us feel that we were important. Thank you.

TrustpilotVery enjoyable experience😁
Very enjoyable experience from reservation to completion at Chaucers Green, Hatfield..Jane was fantastic, she helped us make our choice in choosing our beautiful forever home, and she kept us updated all the way through. We were sad to hear that she had moved to a different site just two weeks before our completion day. We met James( who took over from Jane) on the day of our demonstration along with the site manager Steve(who were both lovely)Would definitely recommend buying from Avant Homes😁

TrustpilotAvant Homes Shelton Village
This relates to a property on Sheltone Village Earl Shilton.I have given Avant 14 months before writing the review. At the start they cant do enough for you upto the point of taking your money and there is no turning back. During the build stage it was often us that had to chase for updates which took the shine off buying a new house off plan... when the house was complete and we were taken down to look around just before exchange they had changed two cupboard doors from nice looking doors in the showhome to awful looking loft hatch metal doors in the wall in the main bedroom and small storage room where a wall was also built making the room half the size of the one in the show home... not once where these changes mentioned at any point during the build. Fast forward living in the house 12 months and we have been ignored on every email sent regarding the snagging issues... other than emails every few month to say the office in charge of the development is changing and to now email another one... funnily with the same out come no plan or dates to resolve our issues... they have just"changed" office yet again and Im not expecting to hear anything more again... it seems its a very good way of running down the 2 year warranty cover as December 23 ours will be up. Our issues are not that major and we can and will more than likely end up resolving them ourselves but there are so many more not just on this development but wider a field who have bigger pressing issues who also seem to be getting no where. The houses themselves are very nice and have no issue with the build... but the customer service in zero for after you move in so please read all reviews before commiting as there are other house builders out there that do seem to care about their customers after they have moved in... our last house was a new build with a different builder and the customer services were outstanding compared to Avant. If you are considering Shelton Village or any of the other sites maybe knock on a few doors and ask Im sure there will be a few stories... just seen one in the local paper for another site where they have waited over 2 years and still no resolve on their issues.Customer services ruins the experience of Avant Homes, buy off another developer if you can.

TrustpilotDont bother using for assisted move…
If you want to use the assisted move scheme with Avant, don't bother. You don't get a chance to reserve the property then they sell it from underneath you while you're getting valuations done so you're left with nothing.

Trustpilot** AVOID THIS DEVELOPER **
(Location: Woodyard Park) My house was completed at the end of Jul 2022, and tons of outstanding problems but need to follow up... Some problems were fixed fast but some problems are still outstanding up to now and without a schedule (kitchen doors damaged no replacement; two washroom's pipes in the wall have large ticking sound when open hot water, no technician coming for inspection; ensuite bathroom water condensation dropping water from the exhaust fan, no roof contractor come to fix and Avant homes technician come for painting ceiling only...etc)Avant Homes just care they sell the house and have no after-selling service. They don't care about customers and they deserve to get this rating. ** AVOID THIS DEVELOPER **

TrustpilotJane at Chaucer's Green
Having had a wobble late last year when deciding to commit to a 200-mile move while at the same time quitting work, I found Jane to be extremely understanding and encouraging with regard to my circumstances. Once that decision was made to move, Jane has been fantastic during our conversations over the phone and when I have visited the site on several occasions now. When the time came to reserve the plot and make choices regarding fixtures & fittings I've found Jane so helpful and patient in guiding & advising me, including viewing other houses on site to see items such as flooring, carpets etc - this was so helpful. Even to the extent that I returned with family members (who won't be living in the house) to clarify colour choices etc.So far, so very good.

Overall we’ve had great experience with our our purchase. The majority of snagging issues when we moved in were sorted.I think the only area to improve on is their mechanism for coordination between customer services and the site and they need to focus in that area. However, as most of our contact and issues were dealt directly with the site itself I found any resolution rectified quickly and effectively and would recommend Avant Homes to others.

TrustpilotPatricia Anderson Sheltone Village
Patricia in the sales office at Sheltone Village has been fantastic right from reserving my property, very helpful with decor choices plus what extras were available. She has kept me informed all they way through the build stages and when I have visited the site she has taken me on site to view my property when it was safe to do so. Nothing was too much trouble
