Watch this space!

9 weeks on and still outstanding snagging issues unresolved. We will be having our 5th visit from flooring people on Monday. Three previous attempts to remove glue residue failed and now having to have manufacturer to review (despite flooring boss agreeing that the entire LVT flooring will need to be replaced). Another major snag outstanding is the noise / sound from flat (s) above. We have been promised an investigation, but 9 weeks on, we are still waiting.

I regret my decision to choose this…

I regret my decision to choose this builder or development, as the entire process felt rushed and lacked the necessary attention to detail. From the beginning, there were significant gaps in the procedures that should have been followed. After the handover, when I finally moved in, I discovered over 100 snags, which was extremely disappointing. Out of these, only around 40-80 issues were addressed, leaving many still unresolved. This indicates a clear lack of thoroughness and quality control on the part of the builder.One of my main concerns is that the keys were handed over without a proper quality check or a demonstration from a site manager. It seems there was no formal process to ensure the home was in an acceptable condition before I took possession. Additionally, the sales team failed to provide any proper guidance or walkthrough regarding the process of moving into a new home, leaving me to navigate everything on my own.When I submitted an honest NHBC review reflecting my experience, a member of the sales team expressed disappointment with my feedback. Despite having referred my brother to the development, when I later inquired about the £1,000 referral fee I was supposed to receive, I was told that because I selected "no recommendation" in my NHBC review, they are unsure if I will get the referral bonus. This response feels unfair and adds to my frustration with the entire experience.I am currently waiting for the remaining snag work to be completed, and I intend to have a discussion with top management about the issues I've encountered with the purchase of my property.

First Class from start to finish …

Purchased a 3 story town house at The Meadows Sunderland in June 2024. From the initial greeting by Paula the sales consultant to the excellent help and servive provided by Liam the site manager, I could not be happier. The spec and standard of the property is first class. Both Paula and Liam are an absolute credit to Duchy homes and I would not hesitate to recommend.

Love our beautiful home 🏠

From the very first day of meeting Dan (Daniel Usherwood) at Bertone Gardens, we hit it off. He made us feel comfortable & nothing was too much. He ensured we were able to secure & design our new home the way we wanted. Throughout the whole process there was great communication & lots of opportunity to watch our home being built. My whole family has now moved into & is in love with our new home & we thank Dan for his support & expertise.

I found a water stain in my scullery ceiling. After calling out a plumber we discovered that the silicon sealant and tile grout were poorly finished leaving holes for water to seep through in the shower above. I contacted DWH and was told that they will not help as we are outside the 2 year warranty period. Shoddy workmanship has led to this and now I must find the money to fund the repairs. Shocking service and quality.
