TrustpilotAvoid Avant at all costs!
Avoid Avant at all costs!! We’ve been waiting over 7 months for our kitchen to be fitted correctly as manor interiors bodged the cupboards and resulted in doors falling off/missing flooring. Trying to get avant to arrange different trades to all attend on the same day has proved impossible. Also when booking appointments to get small snags fixed your waiting a good 12 weeks. We’ve recently renovated our back garden due to mushrooms/nettles constantly growing and what we discovered only 1cm under the grass was drain pipes metal rods, hard concrete, general waste left from builders. I would never buy a new property again a and certainly not from avant if they gave it to me for free!!

TrustpilotOver Promised, Under Delivered
Overall, I was pleased when I moved into my new Avant home in April 2021.My snagging list was relatively modest in comparison to many new homes - but that’s a good job, because the after care from Avant has been really very poor. Emails go unanswered, complaints go missing, issues from over a year ago still not resolved. Even when you think you are close to resolution, appointments are cancelled, tradespeople don’t show up. Overall Avant have over promised & under delivered.

TrustpilotDelay of completion date without any communication
I bought a 3 storey house at Purbeck Village Warwick in Nov 2021 and the expected completion date was told as the end of Jun 2022. But the house is only finished the first floor in April 2022. We kept asking the salesperson about the realistic completion date but we got no reply from the team after sending several emails. I am so frustrated as I even cc the email to their complaint director but it is still radio silence of the team. I really regret to purchase the house from Avant homes. I wish I would read the review from this site before I bought it.

TrustpilotJoanna is a gem!!
We’ve recently bought a house on the peerfields development in chilton with the help of Joanna. Shes been fantastic and couldn’t of been more helpful! She knew we were first time buyers and made sure we knew exactly how the process works, and was so patient with the many questions we had. She’s made this a very exciting experience, thank you so much!! We’re loving our home and can’t wait to make many a memory here!

Avant Homes delivered beyond our expectations. Our new build was inch perfect as we had little to no snags when we moved. The after care customer service we received and the on-site management has been 5-STAR, with excellent response rate. Avant Homes should be lucky having good and conscientious employees working for it across the spectrum.Doncaster!

TrustpilotStay clear
Put us completely off buying a new build ever again. Waited over 18 months for it to be finished only to find they’d added something that wasn’t in the plans and took away space. Constant snags and poorly made house. The customer service team are NON EXISTENT! Always being ignored, refusing to rectify snags (even though we are in our 2 year time frame) Started a complaints procedure months ago, even they are ignoring me. Useless company and not worth the stress. Stay clear!

Trustpilot2 years in now and still issues not…
2 years in now and still issues not sorted! collapsed drains, majority of the estates drainage is not connected, raw sewage in back gardens due to drains not being connected. roofing not installed correctly on all houses, air vents in lofts not connected, installing flooring on wet sub floors resulting in mould / damp, hollow pavements, hollow roads ( to the point a skip wagon went through the floor on the road) virtual tour not to spec as what people have received. all back gardens have no drainage therefore complete bogs, downpipes are tarmac'd into the ground with no drainage connected to them, customer services appalling and tell complete lies, fob you off or worse claim all things are to spec.even local authority wont take the site on because of how bad the estate is.the basin / soak away on the vertual tour was beautiful - trees, grass, metal fencing - people have paid a premium for houses facing it, however we have been left with rubble - looking over a scrap yard would be more appealing! no response from director levels. 300k house and its been a total nightmare! contractors are the lowest of the low, dont have no passion in the job they do! and as for the NHBC - how they even signed off properties on this site is a complete mystery - they too are not responding either and the majority of issues are serious health and safety breaches.thats not to mention the 'average snags' residents get with a new build. The entire estate are now getting together to source a legal team.

TrustpilotBuyer Beware
Buyer Beware; Avant is repeatly in the media as they never seem to finish a project off. Our estates is left without a completed road, numerous MPs complain to no avail. My garden is not fit for purpose as it is a bog, Avant won't resolve it.

TrustpilotIf I could give ZERO I would
If I could give ZERO I would. It is the most soul destroying experience giving your hard earned money to this company. They treat you like dirt and don’t feel the need to even respond, the only thing they are experts in is ghosting customers.we are now 11 months into a constant construction site right next to our house not treated as a priority as its a showhome and not being sold. On our land under a ‘gentlemans’ agreement that involves no communication from Avant and no respect. Deadlines drift with no explanation and you have to chase and chase. they do a days work then nothing for weeks. Here we are again with a promise our front garden will be finished by the end of April and all they have done is dig it all up and leave it an embarrassing mess! If anyone would like to see the actual state they have left visit our instagram norbury_house2homeHave never encountered such a low grade company with no respect for customers.

TrustpilotTruly deplorable company
Truly deplorable company. Avoid purchasing a home with Avant if you can help it.For anyone considering a purchase with Avant, just look at the reviews here. Almost everyone who has gone ahead has had a miserable experience after the shiny sales process ends.Once they’ve got your money you are no longer of interest to them. You might find there sales patter is fine and all will look good at the outset but trust me, run a mile before they ask you to sign on the dotted line.Their customer service is non existent. It really is. You’d have more success talking to one of your (probably incorrectly installed) doors than you would expecting any level of service from them.And I speak as someone who has spent a truly miserable 3 years as an Avant customer.I recently found my Avant sales folder tucked away in a cupboard. The slogan - excellence without exception.If I could be bothered suing for false advertising then I would.

TrustpilotDodgy building company
Dodgy building company. Over 220 snagging issues not including them leaving me a whole scottish winter with no heating downstairs due to ineffective front door letting out hot air, a broken vent in kitchen window and the only radiator in the living room doesnt work its a open design, so spent winter 2021 cold, hugging blankets. Back garden no fence ajoining neighbour and had to dig down 3 feet at my expense as full of weeds and very large bolders oh and build a fence. Chip in kitchen cupboard, hob scratched, lino lifted, render outside back bedroom window still outstanding 6 months on and they absolutely wont fix the noise coming from the floor between back 2 bedrooms so if i fall through to living room be warned Avant i will sue, incredibly poor workmanship. If i could i would give them minus review. The whole estate in Blantyre have issues with their front doors and so poor has the estate been left in that Avant have now after all houses have been sold been assigned a new site manager more elusive than the last one, good luck Mick whoever you are.

We purchased our house in September 2021 we had a few snags some were fixed relatively quickly a manager was put in charge of sorting the outstanding snags out which still haven't been done 7 months down the line when i call i just get told ive gone as far as i can sorry. This is totally unacceptable. Ive tried going further up the ladder but my emails are just not answered.I wouldnt recommend avant homes to anybody they just take your money and run. Avoid at all costs. The site is cotchett-village mickleover.

TrustpilotWorst experience in 35 years of house buying
It is very noticeable that the reviews of Avant appear to fall into 2 categories.Good reviews are almost always during the sales period with the poor reviews generally being after customers have moved in.We are very unlucky in that our experience has been poor throughout.There was a total lack of communication regarding our completion date which cost us circa £1300 and since we moved into our house the customer service has been appalling.The quality of build particularly finishing is poor and the total lack of urgency in dealing with our snagging is extremely frustrating.We were informed yesterday that items reported at the end of January,one week after we moved in,will now be addressed in mid June.It is very apparent that after Avant take your money they do not care one iota about you afterwards.Why there is no retention scheme for Housebuilders in general is beyond me.I would wager that if 3% of the build price was held for 6 months after completion until snagging was finished then the attitude of Avant and others would be completely different.We are lucky in that most of our remaining snagging items are generally cosmetic and are not affecting us greatly however,this is not the point.Like others we have paid good money and deserve a decent product and good customer service.We have bought new build properties for 35 years and this is without doubt our worst experience.The difference between our last builder,Cala, and Avant is like comparing Pavarotti with your local Pub singer.Buyer beware!

TrustpilotI DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND.
I DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND.When we bought the house, we bought it by seeing the showhouse, we couldn't have bought it otherwise, but after entering the house, we came across a completely different house, I was very disappointed. The workmanship pattern is very bad. In general, I can say that if you intend to buy a house, do a lot of research. But definitely do not choose avant home. I have read the comments here before, I said, no customer is satisfied, unfortunately it happened to me too. customer service is very bad. until they get the money, they seem very interested. It just wasn't supposed to be my dream house.

TrustpilotAn eyesore outside our window.
We really loved our new build and had no major issues or complaints but after coming home to some ugly parking bollards immediately outside our house we are beyond disapointed. The area was to our knowledge used for water access and when we bought the house we were explicitly told we could use the area for visitors parking etc as long as we gave access when needed (due to the nature of our small road that links to the main road). Which every house that shares this part of driveway has done and nobody has ever needed access to begin with. By adding these you have firstly lowered the value of our property (ignoring the fact that the CGI image we were told would be Infront of our house is actually a wasteland and now am expected building site is to remain there?). You have also caused an issue where by there is no possible way for a vehicle to turn around, forcing a far more dangerous manoeuvre of reversing onto the main road.It really upsets me to give such a low review and all this upset could really have been avoided by simply saying "please do not park here" and we would all comply. No communication regarding them at all.
