A lovely home completely ruined by shockingly bad after sales customer service. Literally YEARS of fighting to get snagging issues rectified! Phone calls and emails ignored. They will try every trick in the book to get out of fixing problems. Over 2 years of stress and not so much as an apology from them. Once they have your money they really couldn’t care less!

We recently visited the sales office in Green Hammerton to register interest in a new build there. We were instantly made to feel welcome and at home with the sales representative, Lewis. He was very easy to talk to and gave us lots of useful information, which has helped us cement our interest in the property. He was a pleasure to deal with.

Summerville, Vicki, Stockton Avant Homes

Me and my partner just reserved our home in stockton (summerville). We booked an appointment for the early afternoon but unfortunately due to work commitments we were late, however Vicki who waited an extra 45 minutes for us to arrive which was nice as we were desperate to view the property, she was very polite and informative when it came to the property and explained in detail the process, the plans, when the work would be finished, explained if there was any issues to let her know, reassured us if any problems who to contact regarding if any issues were found or if we were not happy, so far a very welcoming and informative process for what for a lot of people when buying their first home can be a daunting time in buying their first home

What an absolute shower of a company

What an absolute shower of a company, our new house was flooded due to avants shoddy contractors putting a wrong part on the mains water - then they've left us 7 months without rectifying. Customer service ignore you, liaison officers complete muppets that talk the talk but carry no clout at all. Do not buy from these cowboys - seriously!!!! Looking like Christmas in a shack as they're still not helping us, only been in 18 months and 7 of those spent living like a refugee because avant just ignore. Please take note people

Great Sales experience but poor after care

Unfortunately our experience with customer care following moving in has overshadowed the excellent service provided by Louise in Sales at Radford's Meadows, along with site managers Mark, Steve, Brett and Matt. They are genuinely lovely people who have gone above and beyond to help us settle into our home, and resolve what issues they can.However, we have reported over 20 snags since moving in. Every single one has gone beyond the 30 days to be resolved stipulated by the NHQB with no explanation. We still have around 10 snags to resolve which are also beyond 30 days. I have made a complaint to Avant on 18/09/24 due to lack of communication from customer care, unresolved snags, and the ongoing stress and impact this has had on myself and my family, and have had a pathway to resolution (also outside the time frame stated on the website) but no full response to this, with no explanation as to why. Despite it stating on the Avant website I should've have had a full response and resolution within 30 days.

Fantastic experience with Patricia and Louise at Cotchett Park

I would like to dedicate my 5-STAR review to Patricia and Louise at Cotchett Park, I wish there is a Million Star rating to give them, whichever I say or write won't be enough to highly praise these 2 amazing ladies. Starting from my phone call with Louise with her most welcoming tone, taking the time to explain on the phone and her kind invitation to visit the estate, look around and consider my options to when I first walked into the office and the first thing I saw was the beautiful, warm and most welcoming smile of Patricia.Both Patricia and Louise were most fantastic and amazing this afternoon, they took the time and made massive efforts to explain everything to me in detail with all the kindness and patience of the world, because as a first time buyer I didn't have a clue of anything and didn't know anything about the process. But Patricia and Louise made my experience fantastic, explained everything and listened very carefully to me and considered all what I told them about my requirements for my home and my circumstances. Patricia made massive efforts showing us around the estate and houses. She was extremely kind and helpful and never made us felt rushed, on the contrary she was going out with us in the rain showing us around the houses with her beautiful smile and kept telling us to take our time and don't rush.I managed to reserve a wonderful Avant Homes house this afternoon with Louise and Patricia's help and started the purchase process.Louise made massive efforts explaining every single detail and sorting the documents and paperwork. She kindly introduced us to the mortgage advisor and soliciter, and made the process much easier.I highly recommend Louise and Patricia from Avant Homes at Cotchett Park, if you would like a fantastic experience and a wonderful home. We all as a family are ever most grateful to their extreme kindness, beautiful smiles and attitudes, and massive efforts.Extremely Happy Customer😊

We’ve recently purchased a house at Merlin’s Point (WSH). Our experience has been fantastic from the moment we stepped in for our reservation up to now (a few weeks before completion). Georgiana our sales advisor has been amazing, kept us in the loop through all the different stages of the house build and any concerns that we have had, have been dealt with accordingly and very prompt. Thank you for a smooth journey into our next adventure. 🙂

Sandy at Westward Green

We would like to dedicate this review to Sandy the sales advisor at the Westward Green development. As first time buyers, she was extremely helpful and informative in guiding us throughout the process, showing us the houses and also advising on next steps. She is extremely approachable and friendly and no question felt too silly to ask. She is an excellent attribute to Avant and she has made our experience extremely smooth. Thank you Sandy.

Brompton Mews

I've recently bought a house on Brompton Mews and just moved in. Vicki and Gary couldn't have helped me out more. Any query I had was answered quickly and efficiently, and they have helped me in general with my move. Great guys, would recommend buying on this development.

Forget the Sales staff..tell me about the quality of work.

These amazing reviews are all about how nice and helpful the sales staff are....that is why they are employed as sales staff.I need to know about the build quality and how the company responds when there are snagging problems or worse...and all the sales staff have moved on to the next project.

We visited the Cotchett Village development this morning, we weren’t sure what we were looking for but Louise and Patricia listened to our thoughts and needs and could not have been more welcoming or helpful, making us feel valued but not pressured. When it comes to site sales advisors, some other developers should take note!
