TrustpilotAvoid at all cost
Love the design of my house and love the location unfortunately that’s where it ends, from start to finish and now a year after moving in we have been let down with false promises, lied to and had to battle to get things put right. Linden are a fantastic company UNTIL you exchange then they are the worst company I have ever dealt with. I would strongly recommend looking at any other builder other than Linden, you have been warned read all these reviews and steer well clear.

TrustpilotDon’t buy. Cheaply thrown together homes.
I’ve been in my linden home for 3 years. In that time I have had to change the handles on the internal doors. They were so badly and cheaply put together my son got locked in his room unable to get out. I’ve had to change the locks on the front door and garage. The Wi-fi doesn’t work as the internal wiring is all wrong. The kitchen is so cheap that is looking tired and all my toilets leak heavily from the cistern into the pan causing a huge water bill. I certainly won’t be buying again from them.

TrustpilotNot happy at all poor after sale service
Not happy at all, I've owned my home just about 2 years now (base in Harlow Essex) , problem I've faced? Wooden beam hanging, pip leaks and poor customer service. As am writing this review my leaks problem hasn't been fixed yet and it has been more then 4 month now, they ignored my emails. Common we have hard earned and pay huge amount for these homes ! I need someone to get back to me urgently please. I will have no choice now but to start legal action. Really? Do we have time for this?

TrustpilotDisaster waiting to happen
I moved into a new Linden flat 4 month ago and the multitude of snags that were opened then are still open, despite the repairs being relatively easy to complete (replace a boiler part, correctly plumb the shower etc). The major one is a faulty fridge/freezer but despite mentions of the Grenfell disaster nothing is taken seriously by the Customer Services team, all complaints fall on deaf ears.

TrustpilotGreat service at Blue Mountain.
We have very recently moved into a brand new Linden home at the Blue Mountain site. We have found Linden to be very helpful and friendly from start to finish. The sales team where realistic with move in date and went over and above to help us. Especially big shout out to Rachel who has been with us from the start of our journey. At our 14 day review the site manager attended the snagging exercise and had work men round almost immediately after our meeting to sort out a few errors with the house. We where very impressed and hope this level of service continues. However the only downside was the Mortgage broker they recommended we go with. I would strongly advise that you don't use use The New Homes Group. They messed up and delayed our mortgage application massively which was a big shame considering how smooth everything else in the process went.

Terrible customer service and management. Will say one thing and do something else. If buying a flat from them directly then get everything agreed in writing with as much detail as possible. They have delayed delivery and will also cut corners where possible unless you catch them.Finally, they have knowingly deviated from their agreed planning permissions and won't engage with owners before making arbitrary site changes.

TrustpilotFrom bad to worse
Sales people set unrealistic deadlines, applied unreasonable pressure to me and my buyer, nearly scaring him off by asking for documents he was advised not to share with them by his solicitors.Been in house for nearly 6 months and still not connected to mains drainage. Downstairs loo completely unusable, water level looks like it could overflow at any moment and constantly makes gurgling noises. Smell is unbearable throughout the house. No support from Linden Customer Service at all, not even useful updates.Think very carefully before buying from Linden - I certainly never would again

TrustpilotSo we put a deposit on a new home
So we put a deposit on a new home, Which was on a part buy ownership.But was never told from the beginning that actually a NIGHTMARE of a company called HAYLO HOUSING actually owned the house not linden..So that was firstly never made transparent to us.then months down the line we were told we owe them £100 admin, again we were never told this.When questioned one of the sales staff pulled out a sign from behind her computer at the other end of the office which tell you about the fee.But up until then you wouldn't know.We were guaranteed a move in date documented x2, of 29.9.19by the middle of November we still were nowhere near moving in. And ended up pulling out of the sale.Both Haylo and Linden have offered nothing in the way of apology or anything towards a big bill off our solicitors for £100s of pounds, for the stress and heartache of pulling out of the sale.Maureen at linden was helpful but she could only do so much in this sham of a sale.We are left devastated and upset at the lack of sympathy caused by these two companies.Beware because all they do is bat you between Lindens solicitors and Haylo solicitors.. And none know what they are doing.

TrustpilotBishops Cleeve - New Home
We brought our Linden house in Bishops Cleeve in June 2018, we were helped from day 1 with regards to exchanging our current home, we were given a set move in date and we move in on that date. There were a few snags as to be expected these were quickly rectified and the after sales team has been helpful with the one issue we had. AJ has been helpful throughout the entire process and we have been in the home circa 15 months and have no complaints. Very happy customers.Jack

I don’t normally write reviews but I felt that the experience I had with linden homes at Cleeve view warranted it. From the initial reservation of our house to this day (approximately 15 months) they have been most helpful. Initially any snagging was dealt with quickly and professionally by the trades and AJ and the site team would always ensure that we were satisfied and AJ would go beyond to make sure of this. Now my two daughters have also purchased on this site and Gemma was most helpful in keeping me in the loop as well as updating the girls.Yes not everything’s perfect the appliances are lower end and if I was to make an improvement it would be this.My home moving experience and the fact that as a family we purchased three houses says it all would recommend to a friend

TrustpilotHere's my honest view - steer clear!
Here's my honest review as a recent buyer from Linden:Lets face it, all big housebuilders are working to give return to shareholders. As such, they build as quick as possible, and build to a price. Snags are to be expected.However - the number of snags, coupled with the arrogance of customer services made us regret buying. There were about 25 things that needed fixing. I don't want to say what the snags were in case Linden identify us and go to town on us with lawyers - that's the sort of company they are.They attempted to charge us for two of the snags! I objected to this and we've heard nothing since.My advice would be to steer clear unless you are prepared for 6 months of stress and frustration. Their one saving grace was a great site manager at the end of our struggles that actually got things done. He wasnt afraid to yell at the hideous apes that Linden employs to work on site in order to get things fixed for us.If I was a senior boss at Linden (or indeed a shareholder), I'd have major concerns for the future.

TrustpilotI wouldn't buy from them again. Shame.
Pain to deal with them. We bought a new build home (Borley Park, Botley) and gave them our key to sort out snagging problems after we moved our belongings into the house. Next day when I was at work and they worked on the house our smart alarm system recorded one of their people as he rummaged in our drawers. The next day they sacked the man and they said sorry. I had to replace the locks, and put a new security system in place plus disposed of all the effected clothes which cost me thousands. I ask Linden to pay for some of the damage they caused because of their negligence, but I had no luck with them. Nice. I wouldn't buy from them again. Shame.

Having been in our house in Truro now for 3 years, the house is good quality and a really nice design, just make sure you get them to fix any problems as soon as you possibly can as time goes by as they loose interest the longer you leave it. Make sure to check every screw, fixing, hinge, downpipe, french windows etc... in the first couple of weeks of use and keep on at them until they turn up. AND when they do turn up make sure you are there to make sure everything is fixed.

Trustpilotpoor Housekeeping
I currently live on montbray in Barnstaple a linden home, we are required to pay some sort of maintenance charge for keeping the place neat & tidy whilst I think this is a good idea I don’t like the fact that plants are being planted only to be left to die & at our expense be replanted a couple of weeks later, surely this is a complete waste of our hard earned money .

TrustpilotLovely family home- Cleeve View
This is a genuine review.We bought our finished house (The Cheltenham) in May 2019 and moved in in July 2019 due to our jobs and we have had a very good experience with everything so far and our pleased with our choice.Neil in the Sales office was competent and not pushy allowing us to choose between a couple of plots. He was helpful and answered all our questions.The buying process was quick and efficient as we weren't in a chain as we had sold our flat previously and were renting.The move itself was easy and I cannot praise AJ, the site manager, more. He really goes beyond to sort out any issues, has a real attention to detail and genuinely cares that you have a good experience. He's also my toddler's hero and is always so nice to him. No snag is too small and he will keep chasing to get it sorted.The site at Cleeve View is nicely thought out, wide streets and plenty of parking spaces. Also a decent amount of greenery so you don't feel hemmed in. Our garden is a decent size and the double garage is enormous. As is expected we have had a few snagging issues such as paint work, some wall dents (mainly caused by the wardrobe fitters), a fan not wired correctly and the patio doors warping. Nothing we couldn't live with till fixed. We do have a couple of improvements to suggest though:-I would say that the contractors that Linden use can be a bit hit and miss. The wardrobes (paid for by the interiors package) were fitted by Goodings and they had to come three times to make them work and even then left holes in the walls for Linden to fix. AJ was on this very quickly though. We had an issue with a painter not completing the snagging list so had to have another visit. Luckily I was around but I can imagine if you were working it would be frustrating.Also it is a shame that Linden choose to cost cut in certain places: --The Indesit appliances feel quite cheap. The double oven only came with two racks and the fridge with one shelf and a bottle shelf which is pointless. -No higher units in the utility room (have had to buy more ourselves and pay to have them fitted).-A lack of sockets or positioned in strange places- Irritating that you can only turn lights on/off from one switch in the family room/ dining room/ kitchenOverall I would definitely recommend this Linden site and others on here and in the street are all happy with theirs.
