Trustpilot9 pages of snags
9 pages of snags, varying in seriousness, after a dipstick manager tried to put up barriers we went above him and have resolved all snags.5 star builder is false.If you're happy to have an constant stream of workmen coming in, having to stop in for them over 4 to 6 months, often leaving the "fault" worse than before, then go ahead.Sloppy workmanship is normal, sometimes safety critical negligence.

TrustpilotWe bought a new build
We bought a new build, 5 bedroom detached home. Minimal snags, 18 months on and we are still happy. We'll, replaced the kitchen tap, but otherwise, our reservations about new builds and Linden are gone.Great sturdy materials. Good craftsmanship.

Avoid this builder I’ve had nothing but problems I wish I was able to post photos of the problems as I’m sure you would avoid buying a property. It started November 2021 I had a leak from a pipe in my living room I left a key with the site manager for them to find the leak oh my days when I got home I had 5 holes which were larger than a spot light , I then found as I went up to my bedroom that my foot sank into a hole and that my carpet had been lifted up to create this hole. The holes in the ceiling. Im still waiting for my carpet to be put back down and I ended up painting my living room ceiling as I’m fed up of waiting. I also have a large crack from ceiling to floor that when you press it your finger goes through but I have been told that it’s up to me to correct this. I had to send a message through Instagram as when I sent emails no one would get back to me, they finally got back to me but after emails back and forth and being fobbed I’m still waiting so I decided to put a review on here I’ve had new houses before and been so happy with them but this builder needs striking off I have so many problems I’ve not listed them all PLEASE AVOID

TrustpilotLinden homes should be your last…
Linden homes should be your last resort. Never go to them unless you have no other options left. They are arrogant, don’t really care about you as a customer. I am a first time buyer looking to purchase a new build in Gloucester. I have approached Linden homes in Quedgeley requesting viewing a Pembroke show home. They have confirmed the appointment at 4pm on Sunday 26/06/2022 at Bishopscleeve. Went there with my family, waited for 15minutes, no show! Called the lady at Linden Sales team who arranged the appointment, she gave me a number to call. Repeatedly called the number, no answer. Called the lady back, she asked me to wait for another 10 minutes, it seems she sent an email requesting someone to call me. No one called even after 30 minutes!! At the end the sales executive being honest with me said that she did not confirm with Bishopscleeve sales team executive. I left the show home address wasting my Sunday afternoon having to drive 1 hour 20minutes! No apology, no follow up! It seems they don’t really care!

TrustpilotAll Angels
Waisum at All Angels has been fantastic, he made the entire process as stress free as possible, and has taken excellent care of us. The day I walked into the development and met with him, I knew I’d found my new home! He’s without a doubt, 5 stars!

TrustpilotPls avoid.....
Pls avoid.....In general, very bad sale service delivered, rude and never follow up even they attended meeting and draft something. When the cilent advised there was some points missing, they would just simply ignore. Besides, provided wrong information of material of roof and luckily after several clarification, finally got it right. Can you imagine the consequence if there is any claims of providing wrong info when insuring home insurance ? Linden Home just simply does not care.Furthermore, it takes so much effort to fix defects.....Until now it is still struggling for more than 1 month after completion..... What should we say?

Absolutely shocking build quality and after over 2 years the apparent snagging (poor workmanship) is still not put right. The company and the builders associated should be ashamed.

TrustpilotSo nearly 3 years in and with the…
So nearly 3 years in and with the communal area still not finished the snagging has begun on my home. So far I have water coming through my ceiling in 4 different places which I reported 4 months ago which hasn’t been fixed. Completely new en-suite had to be fitted. Replacement Bath and shower fitted in Bathroom. All 3 toilets leaking and flushes not working. Flooring downstairs to be replaced. Floorboards upstairs to be lifted and refitted. French patio doors to be removed and refitted. Driveway subsiding in places and needed relaying. Patio subsiding as laid incorrectly. Ceilings downstairs to be skimmed and repainted along with all the skirting boards which weren’t primed. Front door threshold to be replaced. Hot water tank leaking and thermostat fallen off the wall.Lead flashing to be replaced on garage roof.drainage stinks. Cracked slabs leading to front door. Kitchen units peeling. 2 radiators hanging off the wall. 200 emails sent. Please please be aware. THIS IS NOT SNAGGING, ITS DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP, THERES A DIFFERENCE. Don’t be taken in by some dubious 5 star reviews naming individual staff (I think we can guess where they came from) BE CAREFUL. 78% of reviewers won’t be wrong!!! Please check The Daily mail, The Sun, Surrey Live for reports online and see for yourself.

TrustpilotThe worst workmanship and customer service ever!
Completed in September 2020, shower started running through the ceiling. Took months to get sorted. Happened again. I've now got actual mushrooms spouting from the soaked skirting boards. The shower tray is on a slope. Apparently there's nothing wrong with it though. Plus the hellish smell coming from the bathroom. Not lindens problem apparently. I even bothering with their complaints procedure anymore, I'm going straight to a solicitor.

TrustpilotDon't buy a Linden property
My daughter and her husband bought a linden homes house just over two years ago. They have had numerous problems including having to have a whole wall replastered because the finish was shocking. Now they have water coming through the ceiling of the downstairs toilet and have been told the house is out of warranty so it's not their problem. Don't ever but a Lindens property.

TrustpilotPoor service
Poor service. We moved to our new build in July 2018 after just giving birth and 3 years later, our kitchen is still not completed. We have constantly asked the team when this is being completed and we have people come out to finish the kitchen, but they turn up with the wrong materials and say it is a 2-3 man job that will take majority of the day - rather than a quick job they were made to believe.Longacre Basingstoke cannot hold a site manager and the staff rotation is awful. No wonder there has been no consistency with our experience. Fed up, and just want a finished kitchen.

TrustpilotGreat experience at Walton Peaks, Chesterfield.
What a great experience I have had with Linden Homes! From when I first reserved in February 2022 at Walton Peaks, Chesterfield, to moving in on 1st April (the house was already built and nearly finished) the whole thing has been a great, smooth and pleasant journey. David in the Sales Office was constantly in touch with me before I moved in, and has been ever since, just to check that everything is okay. This really does make the world of difference. Yes, there have been a few snags (same as any new house) but nearly all these were rectified in the first month. Nothing is too much trouble and I would highly recommend them. The quality of the workmanship is great (had a new build before and although a much higher value house with higher quality kitchen etc, the workmanship there was very poor and shoddy - so consequently, I knew what to look for in terms of poor workmanship and finishing - AND I'm rather picky!!!) Well done guys, you've certainly got everything right!

TrustpilotHonesty avoid this folks
Honesty avoid this folks . Very substandard material. Everything falling apart. When you contact them , they respond like you are crap. Visited my friends new houses, you then realise Linden home design is a joke. What a difference. I will be definitely selling this house. Thank God house prices goes up irrespective of design .

TrustpilotI had an extremely good experience
I had an extremely good experience. Everything I’d imagined become reality when I bought the house at Linden homes Redcar. From day one the sales adviser Ben and Jack were fantastic. It was a pleasure to deal with them. They show a level of care for the customers. As I was a first-time buyer Ben guided me and kept informing me, so everything went through very smoothly and easily. They talked to me through everything about anything going on here. When I moved here the site managers Kevin and Carl asked if I need anything and if everything is ok, and if I asked them about anything they sorted it out. Although it’s still under construction, they are doing well and keeping it clean. I like the yellow and red houses and the road around them is very nicely paved. My house is a good size and has a good size garden. It’s conveniently designed with a parking space for two cars. I love the whole site and my neighbor. I can’t believe that I live in such a beautiful house. I would recommend moving here for both the standard of the home and value for money.Gosia

TrustpilotSome of the worst after care service…
Some of the worst after care service I've ever known for any product or service, let alone one which represents the biggest investment I'm ever likely to make. Very badly informed staff from start to finish. Blatant lies regarding obvious problems with the property. Constant avoidance tactics in rectifying problems. Untidy and unprofessional contractors sent to fix problems. Obviously its the property and price point that will decide wether or not you buy with Linden but literally every stage of the purchase and after care has been a litany of problems.

TrustpilotSubstandard houses built by cowboys
Never buy a house from these lying unscrupulous scumbagsWe have 140 snagging problems on our home, we have been fighting for 4 1/2 years to get them sorted. The warranty is not worth the paper it is written on. Nhbc say linden are liable, linden says nhbc have to fix it, no one fixes it!!Our porch is hanging off, the electric is wired wrong, there is no rain water goods under the garage, the earth wire was not attached to the gas and electric meters, if you turn the electric off for upstairs the electric partly goes off downstairs and not upstairs at all. The flue for the boiler is at an angle so rain water runs into the boiler, the extractor fan pipes were non existent in the loft causing a fire hazzard, the windows are fitted incorrectly and were supposed to be grey but turned up onsite white so they sprayed them, now they are peeling and look like a Friesian cow. Toilets aren’t level, door handles aren’t level, light switches aren't level or they are damaged, i could go on but whats the point, they are able to build substandard houses and get away with it,because it says on their blurb that they dont have to build quality, i wish we has never brought this house, its been too stressful to call home.

TrustpilotNightmare housing provider
We have had so many issues that we would never buy off Linden again.There were so many snagging issues and things that weren't put right. The workmanship in genral was shoddy, trowel marks on walls, cupboards not straight, cupboards dinted or scratched, door frames made with MDF so super soft, dinted easily and can't be sanded down and easily repaint. All the interia doors are hollow and cheap. Oven and hob very cheap, the oven leaks water onto the floor, the fan above the hob just circulates the air and isn't a extractor fan. The hob was completely scratched after a few weeks as there weren't any pads to protect it.I have had workmen back to redo jobs which have made a worse job than the original.The drainage is also a nightmare and our downstairs toilet and ensuite shower are continually blocked so much so we can no longer use the downstairs toilet. The pipe for this runs all the way under the house at pretty much a level angle and the flush isn't powerful enough to shift anything down it.The site manager was cocky and arrogant when I wrote an average survey they gave me as jobs hadn't been completed and told me people who ticked 'wouldn't by again' boxes didn't get any work done. As soon as the showhome office closed all support ceased and emails from us or any of the neighbouring houses were ignored.It is worth noting that my husbands previous new build, with a different provider, didn't have a single problem. We love the house layout and plot but it stops there.

TrustpilotI have just had the most pathetic and…
I have just had the most pathetic and discourteous treatment by the sales and guy at Hanstead Park sales office and I only went in to make a sales enquiry as a genuine buyer - now I wouldn’t touch them . I went in without an appointment which is ‘against policy’ but he squeezed me in . Everything sold off plan this year apart from a few houses and the one I was interested in the show home was off limits until the oven had been replaced ??!! Ok fair enough , I had to beg to have a look through the window and the young guy concerned had no sense of making me feel comfortable, totally unhelpful arrogant and in the ‘computer days no’ mold. So I went back 10 mins later with my family and he outright refused to let my wife look through the window - ‘not I can’t let you do it again’??!! What arrogance and a control freak . ‘I have a teams meeting now and can’t allow it’ how that can affect my wife looking through a window was beyond me ? I was so outraged that it got a little more heated as he made no effort to smooth things and have no explanation other than ‘company policy & health and safety which was rubbish. These guys are inexperienced and have no idea how to deal with customers. This is the service and attitude you can expect from these muppets - see all other reviews . Good riddance
