Never ever ever again…

Never ever will I fall for this proper gander again. House is an absolute mess. Was first person to purchase slot told me 9 months nearly 2 years later I got the keys. Had to set up 3 mortgages as it was promised at certain times more solicitors fees for changing documents. Finally got the keys house was nothing like the show room. Got told I could pick the kitchen units. Already chose them but by the time mine got built they had a choice of 4 !! As soon as I got keys problems from day one. Sunken hole in the kitchen near the door. They did come out to quickly fill it in 3 times in a rush. Still sunken. Crackes everywhere another quick bodge rush in and out. Plumbing is horrendous I'm mortified. Massive cracks in the garage floors. Site manager came to look Never came back. Switched builder and manager after that nothing got done. Was told to go though gleesons complaints I constantly was emailing no reply. I absolutely cannot even Wright the amount of stuff that is wrong. Paint work completely messed up. Walls a mess lighting mismatched wires doors don't fit. Back door opens out and constantly slams into next doors fence. Kitchen cupboards inside tops are a mess. Garage gets flooded when it rains. Oven doesn't even work properly. Gave up with the complaints nothing ever got resolved. First House on my own and its gonna cost me a bomb to fix. Also did not get told about the stupid piece of land we pay every year plus interest until after my deposit and signed papers. Then this was said!! Couldn't op out else I've lost my deposit. Absolute joke as for snagging list 6 months after got keys!! Still building houses around couldn't get in the house to check it all. I wouldn't wish this stress on anyone

Barnbourgh view

Mandy the Sales Rep is amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better experience in the buying process. They understood my rush to move ASAP and they managed to hand the keys over in 3 weeks! Matt the site manager has been great making sure everything is up to my standard. Wrote down all the little issues i spotted on the house demo and was fixed within days. Few usual new build issues since moving in but all were rectified the same day. The whole team is overworked and most likely underpaid and still manage to go above and beyond.

Hays park, Halifax

We would not recommend Gleeson to anyone! When people say don’t buy a new build, listen to them!!!They say it is supposed to be a memorable experience of buying your new home… trust me it is a memorable experience but not for the good reasons. From the stages of the house being built there were several delays and no reason for why there were delays. Once we were given the keys, it only got worse. We were rushed through this experience of not even been shown how to use any of the mechanical items. When we were signing the documents, they turned on the extractor fan in the kitchen and due to this not turning off, they tried to discrete this by turning the plug off. We were not given a back door key until 4 days later. There were cupboards with chips, a draw hanging off and the house had not even been cleaned. We flagged all of our snags there and then. They addressed these and said they would be dealt with straight away, especially the back door keys but this was not the case. When looking round the house the next day, we found more snags which we listed on MyGleeson. The main one was that we were missing a cupboard under the stairs. This took 3 weeks for this to be addressed. This meant we had to delay our tiler this long, but then it also took the builders 7 days to finish the job.Throughout the house, there was paint missing and splatters of paint all over our cupboards, draws, doors and windows. This got addressed two week ago but the painter has used the wrong paint so we now have patches everywhere instead. The patio door they did not put anything underneath which meant we could not finish the flooring until this was complete. The front door has hammer marks around the casing. Instead of just addressing this, the builders took it on themselves to adjust the door. We struggle now to shut the door. This has still not been fixed. Each door in the house has a problem, the living room one for example is an inch away from the casingAll we can say is do not trust letting people into your home. They do not treat it with any respect. They leave all their rubbish for you. They help themselves to your drinks and spill this onto your cupboards. They then ask us if we are sure that it wasn’t us who did this. The drive was completed in which they then spilt concrete mix all over it. Nobody warned us of this. We then had to speak to the site manager for it to be cleaned but even now it is still stained. Every night, we come home and there is another issue with the house. Either the builders have tried to correct one of our snags and have made this worse or we get told more bad news. We was waiting 6 weeks to hear whether or not we can have trees removed from the garden as we were never informed about the trees being in our garden when we exchanged. When we first got the house, there was a scaffolding pole and the garden was left a disgrace. We couldn’t touch the garden for five weeks and then was informed it might be getting reduced. All we can say is do not trust letting people into your home. They do not treat it with any respect. They leave all their rubbish for you. They help themselves to your drinks and spill this onto your cupboards. They then ask us if we are sure that it wasn’t us who did this. The drive was completed in which they then spilt concrete mix all over it. Nobody warned us of this. We then had to speak to the site manager for it to be cleaned but even now it is still stained. Every night, we come home and there is another issue with the house. Either the builders have tried to correct one of our snags and have made this worse or we get told more bad news. When fitting our fridge into the kitchen, we have noticed that the walls are out and now we are having to adjust our integrated fridge freezer cupboard to suit this. When putting up blinds, all the walls are out, resulting in the windows to be different sizes. Do not even get us going with the bathroom, we took off the bath panel and underneath this are the radiator pipes but one of the pipes were sticking out and this was not even level which resulted in us having to take the bath out and put back in just so we can fit a bath panel. If you can take any advice.. do not buy a Gleeson house unless you want to be disappointed! If only we could add photos to show you all the truth. We have held off 11 weeks to write this review but now it’s getting an absolute joke we’ve not heard any response for 3 week and we do not want anybody else to have the same experience as us. Even when we have had meetings about our problems with the top people on site our issues have still not been resolved

Disgusting for a New Build

I currently live in a gleeson estate and have lived her for 14 months, all works to be corrected have been added to there portal and I am still waiting for this to be completed 14 months later which in turn has meant I am unable to decorate which I need to do as there decorator was terrible. The communal areas although all residents have been lodging complaints for months has still not been completed and are overgrown and some areas not even had fencing or grass done. This estate was classed as completed in January 22 absolute joke do not buy a Gleeson home I beg you it will cause friction in your marriage and family and you have to hound them to do any work and escalating through there complaints has made no difference

Longford 4 bed review North East England

We bought a Longford (4 bed, 2 bathroom) in March 2021 which was completed 3 months behind schedule in Nov 2021+ reasonable for 219k at time of purchase+ used NHS Key Worker scheme to get upgraded kitchen worktops - property riddled with issues which, when reported to the "Portal" online, becomes clear they're really common for Gleeson houses e.g. Damaged turf, chipped doors, leaking bath, missing fence - moved in 9 months ago and still have serious defects not resolved as Gleeson prioritise new developments and have left half our estate with broken patio doors and damaged turf - poor staff retention rate meant we went through 3 sales representatives, 3 site managers and now onto our fourth customer service representative who is "on a call" every time we try to contact her Conclusion: Gleeson delete all Facebook comments made about our development (Windermere Green) to prospective buyers so please, don't believe their argument that "it was just one site...it depends on the site manager". All neighbouring Gleeson developments to us have reported similar issues, please pay for a professional snagger if it's too late and you've reserved or bought.

Constant smell of raw sewage in house

We bought a Kildare in Field Court, Milfield a year ago and have 3 problems that we cannot get resolved. Our en- suite shower constantly has a smell of sewage coming up the water drain - it would seem there is no ‘s’ bend. Gleeson have fobbed us off with various explanations which are pure rubbish many times but every time we get a problem there also seems to be a problem with the main drains/sewers. Once they are cleared out the smell goes away. We have now had this again for the past 3 days and don’t know how to proceed. It would seem this is never going to be fixed and we will have to live with smell of sewage.Our back garden also collects water near to the house whenever it rains and the area is constantly saturated We were told that they would dig us a ‘French drain’ which would solve the problem-the site agent confirmed he was was going to do this - but 9 months on still nothing has happened and there is no-one on site. We have put this on the My Gleeson app 6 times now and it keeps getting closed down when the work hasn’t been done.We were told months ago that the road and paths were going to be finished but they haven’t been touched . Unfortunately I have to concur with the other reviewers - Gleesons aftercare is so bad it’s non existent

Happy but not great.

We bought a Gleason home about a year ago now and overall the experience was okay. Before moving in the timeline set by sales was unrealistic and I did say I wished they had just been honest with us so we could have prepared better than living with parents for 6+ months. This caused us to also need to extend our mortgage, if we had known earlier this would have been a smoother process. We understand there are delays with a lot of things but they took on the feedback well. However, once the house was ready the sales person stayed late so I could be shown round after work and went through the list of snags with me. The list of snags was not huge (I have known people from other new building companies have triple the amount of snags) and a lot of it was extremely minor things. However, when moving in they corrected a lot of the snags quickly and we were happy overall. I think things shift once you have been in the house 2-3+ months as the aftercare leaves a lot to be desired. We have had a few remaining snags rejected but as soon as we mentioned these were unfinished ones from moving in they were approved and awaiting to be resolved. Once being in the house about 6 months I think the snags are put on a queue which take on average 4 months to get resolved (not timely at all) and you are left being ignored for a significant time of that. However, in comparison 90% of new build providers are all the same. The aftercare isn’t a priority as they need to pick up the delay of the houses being built etc. But getting some response from someone would have been nice. The house is laid out really well and we have lots of space front and back. But some silly things seem to go amiss, such as being in front of a public path but only having a knee high fence just makes you wonder why sometimes. We have raised this and they blame the council, however, from speaking to the council the fence hadn’t been raised for approval by Gleason at all. Again, would have appreciated some honesty here. Lovely house so makes you wonder why they can’t do the minor details, shame really.But overall happy experience, as knowing the reputations of new builds we did quite well with limited snags and only 3 month delay.

Call for viewing but nothing to sell

The women called for have a viewings, but when arrival, the women said all has been sold out and nothing to sell at this moment. She also said nothing arranged for our viewing. It wastes our times and petrol…, the office there only she, I don’t understand why she called for a viewing but nothing to see after arrivals. That’s horrible.

IF YOU WANT A PEACE OF MIND THEN AVOID…

IF YOU WANT A PEACE OF MIND THEN AVOID GLESSON.Moved into my property in December 2021and the bricks to my garage its in a complete MESS, I spoke to the Site Manager and he said this happens because it was built while it was raining ( that's none of my business) it just need sorting out and he promised to get it sorted. I showed the garage to the customer service team Manager and she agreed with me it need sorting out and advise I raise it on myglesson which I did but to my surprise it was decline with a comment not a defect as advised by same site manager who promised to get it sorted for me in the first place.I had no Internet for few months as Glesson haven't done the right thing with the council and Glesson advised to get a dongle and they will cover my monthly cost if I send them the invoice . Sent the invoice to the customer service team for months and still haven't got the money back, sent an email to Customer service manager and still nothing have been done.Raised an issue with socket not working in my kitchen only for a gentle man to turn up few days later and couldn't fix it but told me his not an Electrician and his just been ask to come check it. Still waiting for someone to fix it till date. Glesson is a complete waste of time !!!! SAY NO TO GLESSON

Our Kildare at Hardwicke Place

We have bought a Kildare on the Hardwicke Place. The sales Team is very helpful and are very easy to work with. We have got a snagging list, but this has not been able to be completed as yet, this is due to us asking the team to hold off until we are in a better position for them to come in and do the work needed. The site manager and his assistant have been very accommodating and helpful, and even the workers on site have been helpful.What I would say is though the reason we have not put 5 star is due to the cheapness of some of the items in the homes, i.e. the sinks are very low-grade stainless steel (I do know that they have recently changed the speck on the homes and the sinks are a better standard). It does appear that the standard of the sites is very dependent on the site manager and his team, they are all very different even though it is the same company.We visited our son on friday when he too got his keys for a Gleeson home and the cooker was not wired in the hot water did not work and the house was handed over when it had not been cleaned. They also told him he would have a boundary fence around the garden, he would have to do the dividing fence, now they have told him they are not putting a fence around the boundary as there is a wall: NOT acceptable.So like I say it does depend on the team on the individual sites. On our snagging list we put about paint being on lights and heat detectors, but a bit of hot soapy water and a cloth soon brings that off; think about what needs to go on a snagging list and what doesnt cos its going to be cleaned by you before you move in anyway????I would and have refered Gleeson to friends and family, its what is says on the tin, affordable homes for all. If you want everything incuded and whistles and bells go to the builders that provide that and pay what they are charging.

No Building Regs registered with Council

After hearing several house owners have had problems selling Their Gleeson Home due to tge local Council not being sent the Building Regs ... I decided to check for our property and yep as suspected our Council hasn't received them for our property either.Our experience with Gleeson was all sunshine and promises till signing on the dotted line.Then there were several changes of site Manager and none seemed interested in the issues we had.I wouldn't buy with them again.

We are in the early stages of buying a gleeson home in the North East, we managed to get the plot we wanted with a 4 bed detached and a double garage.....we were over joyed.....speaking with the girl on site who was OK but what made me think was when we had a site visit I had asked for a access door to be put in at the real early stages and they were still building, when I asked her about the door (and I know it can be done afterwards) she said they would just take the bricks out which is not the way to do it.......from there I have found these reviews on here and they have proper put me off.....to give Gleeson 230k of my money (cash sale) and to have some of these problems with no where to go afterwards...........I'm just about ready to pull out which is a shame, but rather that then to be fobbed of and lied to cause that will put me over the edge for sure

Outstanding is the only word I can use with regards to my experience of Mauricia. From the moment I met her, the service she has provided me has been exceptional. From prompt responses to requests done in person and on the phone, she has kept me well informed. She not only has professionalism but a very caring nature in my opinion. She really has taken my personal circumstances into consideration when providing me with support. I would never hesitate to recommend her and feel she is a true asset to Gleeson. Thankyou for your help, it truly is invaluable .
