Extremely poor after sales service

Whilst the build of the house initially needing lots of snagging they did come and remediate the issues. However, the site I am on have a management company to look after the public spaces who are assign by DW. They have been utterly shocking with ongoing issues with the entire estate and support from DW is none existent. The company are so poor that they have now been replaced by another management company which so far have been no better. I have been here a year now but the estate has been poorly looked after that since before I moved in. When I say it is poor, I mean ALL public spaces where there should be grass there is hardly any and 90% weeds it’s that bad. There are areas they have dug up and filled but not re-tarmac afterwards which has been like that for nearly a year. Kids can’t play in the parks because there are just full of prickly weeds and the area that was promised as allotments is now being assigned as industrial units and has remained empty for nearly a year and also the entire area is just weeds.Absolutely shocking with no one interested in resolving. They were very accommodating when they wanted their survey completing but after that they had not interest in anything.

Purchased a 4-bedroom house in Eagles’ Rest in August. Very disappointed with the quality. Poor workmanship and so many defects. Cracking timber in the roof of the garage, water leakage, poor installation of the kitchen units, boiler and solar PV panels not working and so many decoration defects, etc. Sent the house snagging report to request for follow-up and the follow-up by the site team is poor.

All staff on site have been very helpful and patient due to delays on selling our property, Pre-purchase visits and inspections were very useful. On the day of completion we had excellent support from Dawn and are very pleased with our new home.⁰

Great Job

Thanks to Sales Advisor Jeannette, who takes some of our stress away helping us to liaise with the entire company. As expected, there are errors in building development project. Site manager Adam, Paul and their team are following it up timely. Good job! Thank you all.

Completion date changed

Sales agent attentive and helpful. Love the house. But lack of proactive communication on the delay on the completion date has given us a lot of stress, frustration and additional costs. From reservation of the plot we were told completion would be on last Friday of August. Although we asked several times as whether that date was still on we were always told yes, all on track for tgat datrme. So we booked the removal company. But 8 days before that date we received the legal notice of completion for the week after. Remals had no longer availability for thst date. Had to keep the original date to empty the house, put goods in storage, move to a hotel etc. Consequence removal costs doubled etc

DWH have resolved the issues.

I recently placed a 1 star review on 4th July but I have to say that 8 weeks down the line, I am delighted that all efforts have been made to give us the house of our dreams. Paul Fraser, the senior site manager, came on site especially to resolve the issues and he has done a marvellous job for us. The house is looking lovely and we are very satisfied. Thank you

Cowboys

No idea how they depict themselves as 5-star house builders. Build was delayed by months, there has been black mould in the building, and the property is terribly finished - chunks missing from plaster in ceiling, lumps under carpet. All reported but no-one ever attended to repair. We’ve now been in 2 years & 2 months and the Carbon Monoxide alarm has stopped working but they will do nothing as outside of warranty. Do not buy with DWH.
