Brompton Mews

We are first time buyers and moved in a few weeks ago. Peter made the process as smooth as possible and kept us up to date with any developments. Peter was friendly and answered all questions we asked.

Thank you Peter …at Brompton mews

We recently bought our first home and with Avant homes. We’re first time buyers and our experience from the beginning with Peter was brilliant, and still is.We encountered a few bumps in the road on our journey in the beginning but Peter asked us to keep going and remain positive. We’re so thankful we listened to him and trusted him as we did end up with our home which we just didn’t think was going to happen at one point.He really did keep us hopeful and positive throughout our journey with buying the house. We’re so happy in our new home and is always nice seeing Peter on site and getting a wave and a chat with him. Our dog loves visiting Peter and even gets a little treat. He’s a lovely guy and it’s been a pleasure having Peter part of this journey with us, he has been so kind and helpful.Kept us updated with the house and how things were progressing: since moving into the house he’s always there for a chat and a friendly face too. Everyone at avant has been lovely and the guys on site are so friendly and any issues we have get resolved

Oddetes point keighley avant homes

I first began researching avant back in December where I first contacted Abi from sales. Purchasing a house is a huge decision and you can expect i had millions of questions over a matter of weeks. Not once did Abi falter in delivering excellent customer service. Always remained polite and patient and constantly reassured me with any doubts I had. She always made time for me.I decided to go ahead with purchase as Abi managed to get my family a good deal. Even though there was a delay which almost impacted the sale of our old house both Abi and sales director Hannah managed went above and beyond to sort the situation out which we are extremely grateful for. I eventually moved into the avant home in keighley and even though Abi is in sales,she still checks up on my family to make sure we are kk and supported me for some of the very small snagging issues I had. Based on her service alone I'd highly recommend purchasing a home in oddettes point in keighleyReview of quality and site manager to follow

Where is the duty of care to their…

Where is the duty of care to their buyers? I suffered a horrible fall and now have a life changing injury to my right arm. After two operations I have been told that there will never be any improvement to movement, strength or ongoing pain. Avant left a drop to the side of my house with no railings to prevent a fall. Avant's response was that they are unwilling to take any responsibility as the drop is 3cm within regulations. I couldn't work for almost 7 months, no income, weekly physio bills and I've lost a lot of my independence. Thanks Avant, for the sake of spending a few extra £'s on a small fence to prevent an accident. Worse still on informing your customer services they couldn't even be bothered to spell my name correctly, they simply dismissed my complaint. I would never recommend this company following such a lack of due care and attention. Plot 63, Vanburgh Gate

Radford Meadows

We purchased a property from Avant Homes on the Radford Meadows development late last year and completed on the property 4 weeks ago in August, on time.The customer service from Avant pre completion has been second to none. Louise and David provided us with regular updates along the way and answered all our questions. If questions couldn't be answered by the on site team, a clear route of escalation to David was fantastic and he closed out the questions. Move in was a stressful experience with some complications but nothing to take away from the 10/10 service provided.Post completion, we had multiple issues and in excess of 50 snags, we expect a level of snags but this was higher than expected. If work is rectified in a timely manner, we would have been happy and this is exactly what happened, 4 weeks into the property and over 75% have been completed and this is thanks to Matt. Since the date of completion he has been visible and given us regular updates on time-frames and date of works. Again, 10/10 service and not the experience we have had elsewhere.Overall, Avant have accommodated our requests where possible including the change of plot late in the process. We have had an excellent experience with the team throughout. This is our third new build property, we would not hesitate in recommending Avant to potential buyers on Radford Meadows.

First ever new house purchase

This was my first new home purchase and I have to say I was a little nervous as you only hear the bad news stories rather than the good ones. Whilst it was a rocky completion on the day I got tye keys at 16:30. The house looked stunning but with all new builds I guess you can expect a few issues. There was a few but the site team (Matt Swan & Brett) were there to support me and gave me great confidence that everything would be sorted. I can’t be more grateful for the support they’ve given me helping not only with the small snags that needed sorting but also with some of my own projects etc. Matt calls most days to ask how I’ve been, do I have any issues and deals with the odd few I’ve had without any problem or hesitation. Both Brett and Matt have been amazing and have made my first home move one that I would happily repeat again should I ever feel the need (I doubt it as I absolutely adore the house, location and view I’ve got). Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Avant homes but would give most of the credit to the amazing site support team.

Peter and Brompton Mews

We moved into our new Avant Home at Brompton Mews at the end of August. Peter Brownless in the sales office has been 5* throughout the process explaining everything to us and assisting to keep our move on track (we were in a chain). Peter also helped us to choose our options for kitchen, tiling, flooring etc. and we are very pleased with the results in our new home. Peter has remained professional and friendly at all times. Since we have moved in we have had positive meetings with Lyndsey from Customer Services and Gary the Site Manager regarding the handful of inevitable new build snaggings and several of these have been resolved already. One star dropped due to the condition of the outside areas and external doors on handover but we have been reassured that the issues will be resolved as soon as possible. This is a lovely development and we are particularly pleased with our plot choice.
