First new build

Moved into new home and has gone very smoothly. They cannot do enough, always checking everything is ok. I had never bought a new build before but very impressed with the level of service.

Happy family in their dream home

Phil, Evie and Nicole in the office are a credit to the company. We've had a few issues with the whole process but every step along the way they have kept fantastic communication and always come through with promises. Moving house is stressful but they have made it enjoyable nonetheless!. The Mapstone family

Forest Walk development plot 101

Throughout our experience of the viewing process and communication with DW at Forest Walk, Curbridge the staff we dealt with were helpful and knowledgeable at all times. To be fair we were quite exacting in our requests and requirements which in the end could not be reached. But it was certainly not from the lack of effort on their part to make things work. Unfortunately the property/ development was not for us in the end.

Agent replied · 10 October 2026

Hi Nick, Thank you for your kind and honest feedback. We’re really pleased to hear the team at Forest Walk did everything they could to help, even though we couldn’t quite find the right fit for you in the end. We wish you all the very best with your home search. Kind wishes, Alice from the David Wilson Homes team.

We can't praise the team on site highly enough. Jane in the Sales Office has been brilliant with the efficient service she has provided. She has been both friendly, approachable and helpful. Carl, the assistant site manager, has always gone out of his way to ensure that we understood all the features of our new home and has been a most amiable contact throughout the past few months. He couldn't have been more helpful and has responded immediately to all our queries. Can't praise both of these people enough.

Nikki was great throughout the whole purchase process, and Gary was really good at keeping on top of the snagging list. It would have been a five-star experience if I hadn’t had issues with no cutlery drawer being installed, despite paying for the kitchen upgrade.

Felix · 15 September 2026 · Duchy Homes Billingham

Agent replied · 10 October 2026

Thank you for your review, Felix. We’re really pleased to hear how positive your experience was with Niki throughout your purchase and with Gary in keeping on top of the snagging list. We’ll be sure to pass your comments on to them both. We’re sorry there was some disappointment regarding the cutlery drawer. Just to clarify, this was an item previously offered by our former kitchen supplier and wasn’t included within the kitchen upgrade purchased through Duchy, so there was no additional cost to you for this item. We do, however, appreciate how the misunderstanding may have been frustrating. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you’re enjoying your new home. - Team Duchy

Over the moon...and I can be hard to please!

Our first home was a Victorian end-of-terrace. And whilst it was in need of updating, it had great bones that continue to stand the test of time. Being a rather small abode, it took us years to relocate our growing family, as so many new builds were pretty with modern layouts, but not 'better ' and made us feel like they weren't going to stand the test of time. With that being said, I couldn't be more DELIGHTED with our new Duchy home. From start to finish, it has been an amazing journey. Not only do I have a sense that Niki and the rest of the sales team are not just selling you a house, but they are well aware they are selling you a home, and so much respect and attention to detail goes into that, and it shines through in all of our interactions. We have been in the home for a few months now, and I continue to be impressed with the fantastic quality of everything in the house. I was sceptical about Hotpoint appliances as we usually purchase Miele or Bosch, but I put in a heavy load of baked-on, no-rinse dishes and it came out sparkling. From the heavy keys, to the solid door handles, premium kitchen, solar panels, and an iboost to use solar to heat your water tank, everything has been thoroughly thought out. It is clear that everyone involved in the design process considered what it would be like to actually live here, and built a house that would become a home on a site that will become a community. As much as I love my new home, not everything was perfect when we moved in. And with so many details and different tradesmen, it makes a lot of sense. HOWEVER, Gary, the site manager, is brilliant. Always on top of things. I much prefer competence to charisma, but I find Gary has both in spades. He made sure everything was put right and gave me the confidence that we weren't going to be abandoned after we got our keys. The same attentiveness shown by Niki has followed through with Gary, and I'm sure with the customer service team when the time comes. I couldn't be more pleased with our beautiful home that continues to surprise me as I notice more and more little things that are just nice features I wouldn't have thought to ask for, but I'm super glad someone thought to put them in.

Hello Pearl, thank you for such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear how pleased you are with the quality of your home, and that the design, specification, and smaller details are continuing to stand out a few months after moving in. It’s also lovely to hear how well Niki supported you throughout your purchase, and how Gary has looked after you since moving in. The care he has taken in putting things right and giving you confidence in the aftercare is exactly what we want our customers to experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We hope you and your family continue to enjoy your home for many years to come., Team Duchy
