A long and never-end snagging list which makes me disappointed

Famous developers but poor quality on house finishing. The snagging list is over 200 items and never ends even I have moved in near 5 months already. The turf is extremely accidented and several sunken places are found in my garden.The replacement items are promised but never seen so far. I have totally lost my confidence on this developer and will consider seriously before recommending her to my friends.Almost a week passed, but still nobody follows up and contacts. Very disappointed!!!!Updated on 1/7/2023Victoria has emailed me but my problems haven’t been solved. Will update my review afterwards

Further to my previous comment it seems…

Further to my previous comment it seems Duchy cannot handle criticism given I have commented on their instagram posts about how atrocious their customer service is, requesting correspondence from them and advising people to read trust pilot reviews before considering them as developers, they have instead not replied to me at all and blocked me from viewing and commenting on their instagram profile. Atrocious customer service!

If I could give negative stars I would

If I could give negative stars I would, still waiting for numerous issues regarding my home to be fixed by Duchy as as I go on I keep discovering more and more issues! The lack of communication from Duchy is horrendous, only getting a response when I chase on items been waiting months for and even then it’s the same generic responses. Would NOT recommend this developer to anyone, avoid and go by a home from another developer instead. I brought the show home thought at least this would have been a decent job but still numerous issues that need rectifying by Duchy after living here for almost over 10 months!

Jo at DWH Kingsbrook

Jo at DWH Kingsbrook could not be more helpful. I know it is not a done deal yet as we have to go through the exchanging of contracts yet but Jo was great. I am aware of the process and the pitfalls and I am hoping that this is the start of a great experience with this home builder.

Purchased our home 2 and a half years…

Purchased our home 2 and a half years ago. Initially the snagging seemed to go ok, but some repairs didn’t get completed. 2 years later a significant issue still isn’t resolved. Duchy do not reply to you properly or at times just not at all leaving you to chase. Duchy are very quick to blame others taking no responsibility for their decision of sub contractor. I would avoid buying from this company unless you are prepared to put in a lot of time and effort for issues to be resolved with them.

Exceptional Level of Service

Served by a mixture of Charlotte and Kara across process, Kara finalised process upon deposit, both exceptionally helpful with all questions and queries. Not pushy with sales clearly laid out all processes and extremely knowledgeable when asked scenario based “what if’s”.

Duchy homes are definitely NOT “5-Star”…

Duchy homes are definitely NOT “5-Star” builders. We had a snagging list as long as my arm, which two years later are still waiting to be finished. Notable events were the entire kitchen had to be replaced, after multiple attempts to fix the original one, as well as the whole roof was essentially fitted incorrectly; under felt not secured, loose tiles, ridge tiles not even nailed down, possibly causing danger to the public and my family. The very small, r0dent like MD, Craig is a particularly hilarious treat. Take my advice. By from a different builder.

Garden under water …

When we moved in before Christmas it was obvious the rear garden needed land drains . We are now in April and still our request have been ignored even though our next door neighbour have had drainage put in and fresh turf . Plus we had a leak in the ceiling and the water mark has still not been painted over . 5 star builder you say
