GoogleViewings and tours of the house during its development were excellent. However we were misinformed about the council tax bands and are still waiting for a dangerous sink hole to be repaired. Unable to customise much of the house even though it's a new build due to not fitting with their build schedule. I would avoid in the future.

My daughter bought a home about 2012 in Burgess Hill. After she bought the home, about a year later, Linden told her they were taking back some of her garden as the fence builders made a mistake. After a lengthy and costly legal process, my daughter bought her own land back!Caution! Do not buy a Linden home. They will try to take your garden back. Vile company.con artists.

TrustpilotAmazing
Amazing! Despite having been in my house for well over 2 years (and apart from a few little snags in the beginning which were sorted straight away, I have had no further issues, great build and finish quality) and all the houses on the estate finished some time ago, I got in touch with David Tinsley, Sales Consultant, who is now working at another site. I have an issue on the site, which is actually nothing to do with Linden Homes, however, as always, David has gone above and beyond to help and find who I need to speak to. Fiona Willis from the Customer Service department has also been in touch with me to help. So, even when all building has finished and there are no Linden Homes staff on site, they are still happy to help. Outstanding Linden Homes, thank you!

We had a fantastic experience buying from Linden homes, at Edwalton Fields. Mora our sales consultant couldn’t have been more helpful, took us through every stage and kept us informed. Our Site manager Billy made sure that every detail was taken care of and they both made us feel valued . The build quality is great, yes there were a few minor snags, but nothing more than you’d expect buying a new home but were put right straight away. I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to buy a house at Edwalton Nottm.

Please do not purchase a house from Linden as they not only wait 4 years to fix something but then actually make out that you are a liar and tell you that they never did intend to fix the issue.

TrustpilotSelling the dream, delivering the nightmare
Seven years living on an unfinished estate. Paying exorbitant management fees to FirstPort - the company Linden selected- for basically mowing some grass on the estate. Drains still full of building rubble, roads and pavements still not handed over to the council. An eyesore plot of overgrown land at the entrance to the estate that on the marketing material and told by their representative was an extra parking area. Gardens of some houses flooding with sewage. A children's playground area moved, without informing buyers, to the front of the estate so it's now a target for vandalism and we're responsible for the damage. The list is endless.I wouldn't recommend buying from this company at all. They sell the dream then leave you to live with the nightmare.

TrustpilotWaiting 4 years to have something fixed
I really would think twice about getting a home from Linden, I have had an issue with my driveway flooding, to the extent that I have to refrain from parking on the driveway when there is heavy rain since it floods. It has been just under 4 years of getting them to fix it and they still have not sorted it out, what a joke.

If you prefer no follow up after completion, pls go for it! There house was completed more than 2 years ago and the concern of leaning fence was raised at the very beginning, more than 2 years ago. Still no action and nothing has been done. They simply just walk away !

It could improve by being honest when trying to sell houses on a toxic site in Glen Parva. Please ensure that you explain to potential clients that there are now 100s of piles driven into the site to stabilise it. Also tell customers that there is still gas leakage that is supposedly being mitigated. Also explain that the old tip was often unregulated.

TrustpilotDO NOT BUY
Do not buy in Glen Parva. Building on toxic landfill. Bet they will gloss over that one! Planning permission refused repeatedly locally. Finally central government overturned decision. All very dodgy. Feel sorry for people who end up living there.

The purchase of the property at the Park Gate site in Kidderminster was made easy by regular updates from Michelle at Linden Homes-she couldn’t have been more helpful and it was a pleasure to communicate with her

TrustpilotEstate plans change for the worse after purchase
After selecting a secluded plot close to the edge of the development, the estate plans around our plot have drastically changed from what we were told and shown at the point of sale and customer service are no where to be seen. Over the last few weeks, linden have built a footpath directly in front of our house connecting both ends of the estate, and the foot traffic is now much greater, despite vocal opposition from ourselves and neighbours in our street. They are building a footbridge metres from a neighbours kitchen window, and boldface lied to her when she questioned what they were building as it was not on the original plans. Be very wary of buying a house with this company unless you do not care what they built around you.

TrustpilotDo not buy from Linden Homes in…stowupland
Do not buy from Linden Homes in stowupland. We have had so many snags, they correct the snag then make a bodge somewhere else! We have had a hole cut in our kitchen ceiling as there was a leak, they fixed it plastered it then had to redo it as they hadn't plastered it correctly. Flooring not put down correctly one of our bedrooms flooring have not got to be taken up for the 3rd time! Ground work outside not been completed correctly. Dishwasher cupboard not pushed back correctly so not inline with other units. Work service needs correcting. Driveway has a few different colour slabs. Honestly the list could go on. We have given then several months to fix the above and other works which i have not mention and still not completed. We have took this matter higher. Please save yourself from wasting your time and money and do not buy from Linden Homes. We expected a few snags when we move in , but seriously this many!!

TrustpilotDo not buy a property with Linden
Absolutely terrible company. Do not buy from them. The sales team are lovely until you are locked into buying and they couldn’t care less. The mess of the property and amount of snags on handover was terrible. Over 2 years now and still snags outstanding. Customer service is non existent! Recently found out that they have never put insurance in place for the block of plates and never undertook a fire risk assessment, even though we pay a monthly service charge. Stay clear of this company.

Honestly when we first moved in they were all over any snags the first few months then they dropped us. They pass you onto a useless department than has taken more than a month to get a response each time. The homes are a joke

TrustpilotBeware Linden Homes and Vistry Group
This company is the worst ever. The residents of Glen Parva Leicester who live close to the development at Cork Lane are having their lives made a misery. Constant piling nousr. Dust with unknown and untested substances possibly including asbestos has covered property gardens cars and probably lungs for weeks. No response from them whatsoever despite numerous emails, letters and phone calls. They have destroyed hedgerows. They have covetef local roads in mud. They do not adhere to one way signs and school drop off and pick up times lorries should not be moving. They state that they work closely with neighbours to establish good working relationships. Not a bit of it. They are a total nightmare and simply a greedy money-making set up. I am disgusted with them. They are building on a disused tip having been turned down twice so went to the previous government who let it through. DO NOT TOUCH THEM OR THEIR HOUSES WITH A BARGE POLE.Vile individuals the lot of them.

TrustpilotInaccurate Sustainability Policy
Inaccurate Sustainability Policy - Shockingly bad companyVistry/Linden/ Counrtyside/Bovis whoever you are - If it were possible to give you zero stars I would.Your Sustainability Policy states:We will place people and communities at the heartof our decision-making process and build sustainablecommunities that last and flourish. To ensure thateveryone’s needs remain central, we follow theVistry “Building Communities” approach, frommaster-planning and design, through to buildingand aftercare, working closely with communities andstakeholders throughout the development journey.To achieve this, we will carry out placemaking focused engagement with local communities and localcouncils and develop an approach to post occupancyevaluation to ensure a cycle of continual learningTo safeguard nature, we will work towards ensuringbiodiversity action plans are in place on all projectsand maintain relationships with Conservationorganisations..Focused engagement with local communities - what a joke. We, the residents of Glen Parva has asked for your attention to our concerns over the last few months whilst you construct a site of 165 homes on a previous landfill site. We have repeatedly asked for analysis of the dust that coats our homes, our cars and our children's lungs ! we want to know what is in it because we know what is in the ground below your site and what is being released into the air because of the work you are currently undertaking. Why won't you meet with us to discuss these concerns - where is your promised 'focused engagement with local communities' ? What an absolute shower of reckless constructors you are; and judging by the reviews on here, there won't be any aftercare for the poor souls that buy these properties, once ready for sale...Absolutely shocking - DO NOT BUY THEM

TrustpilotPembroke Gardens - Alderbury
We dealt with Beckie in sales and Wil, the site manager at Alderbury. They facilitated our move, couldn’t do enough for us and became part of the Pembroke Gardens community while they were here. 5 stars!!!As with any new build we had a few snagging points and these were dealt with honestly and swiftly while they were on site and once they had left we had communication from the Vistry Office who had a few personnel changes but eventually got things sorted out.

TrustpilotBe well informed before signing the reservation …
My review is solely based on the experience we had reserving our plot in Gloucester. According to the sales representatives at the estate,the Head Office changed our plot (which was £435 000) to 50% shared ownership without first communicating with the Sales team which was dealing with our case,as we had a already started the process of selling our old/current home with their Part exchange and could only reserve that plot once our house was sold. As compensation they offered us a bigger house ,at the top end of our budget which was (£450 000 incl the additionals we wanted) and agreed to give us the additionals plus the bigger house (which had been already reduced to £450 000 before we had our issue) for £450 000 which would have been enough to get the house plus additionals with the house we initially wanted.To cut the story short we are not getting any additionals or anything else anymore as we didn't mention it before signing for the reservation, which is our fault really as we didn't get the offer written down but rather as word of mouth over the phone. So please if they give you any offers have it in writing and also before signing the reservation, claim all of the offers they offer you for that house or plot. We were not well informed and were just under the impression that we are paying £99 to reserve the plot only.
