TrustpilotPembroke Gardens
The best part about buying a home at Pembroke Gardens was dealing with Beckie (sales) and Will (site Manager) who were both very friendly, helpful and efficient. We are finding dealing with Linden's customer service, now that Beckie and Will have left site, a very slow and frustrating process.

TrustpilotAbsolutely wonderful sales and site team
As a first-time buyer the team at Pembroke Gardens, Alderbury were absolutely amazing. They understood my ignorance regarding buying a property, and were always there to help me, always answered my calls and my silly questions.Both the sales rep and the site manager were brilliant - I always felt involved and attended to throughout the process, they were so friendly, understanding and engaging.Whilst it was only my first time buying a property, I do feel that the way the team looked after me made it SO much less stressful than it may otherwise have been.The team that looked after me? I can’t fault them at all, and they have my sincerest thanks.

TrustpilotBe aware of Linden homes and Vistry
Be aware of Linden homes and Vistry company that own them. they have a very bad after care service for almost all things but any thing outside of the main build may not be covered by a grantee. if the kitchen or windows doors are out of the 2 year initial grantee and the installers that are subcontracted are no longer trading, you will not have a grantee. The people that installed the windows for my linden home are no longer trading and as such i no longer have a 10 year grantee. any malfunction and i have to pay to fix and this after 2 years and one day. Linden are not the great company they say they are and use 3rd rate subcontractors to save money. Do not trust that this company has your back when things go wrong, buy at your own risk

TrustpilotThe whole home buying process was so…so smooth
The whole home buying process was so smooth with Beckie, she took care of everything in a very cheery, friendly and efficient manner, nothing was ever too much trouble, she would regularly contact me out of her work hours. She made the whole process so easy especially as I was dealing with an incredibly difficult time in my life. Will the site manager was a pleasure to have around, again nothing was ever too much trouble. He was round in an instant if I had a query and he sorted the problem or booked in trades to rectify the problem within a couple of days. Will’s attention to detail was exemplary, he wasn’t happy unless everything was perfect. Like Beckie, Will was always cheery, friendly, efficient. He also worked out of hours to double check that things were ok. The site was always tidy and organised. I am so pleased with my new home. Since Will and Beckie have left the site there have been a few small glitches but nothing that Vistry has hasn’t tried to fix immediately. All in all, I have thoroughly enjoyed my new home from buying, moving in, adjusting and feeling supported during the whole process. It’s all been so easy and that is definitely thanks to a great team being in control.

I had an excellent experience from Linden at Pembroke Gardens. Beckie was so helpful & enabled me to secure the plot I wanted. The quality of the build is good with only a few minor snags which have been rectified. Very happy with my move.

Great after sales service and excellent build quality. We moved in our new house in December 2023 and Joel was on hand to provide support and to check everything was OK. As with any new house there are a few snagging issues. The site manager Ian was on hand immediately to organise the various trades to fix a plumbing issue and nothing was too much trouble. All items on our snagging list were dealt with promptly and by polite, friendly tradespeople. We are new to the area and were delighted to be dealing with such lovely people

TrustpilotPembroke Park
Pembroke Park, AlderburyMoved in in August 2023Pre move help and advice from the sales rep Becky was excellent. The site manager, Will, was always helpful over any little glitches. The house has been generally of good standard with only a few minor snags which were quickly dealt with. Our only issue was with identifying the completion date and a rather inflexible attitude with this, but eventually sorted out. Customer services have been quick to respond after the workmen all left and we had unsolicited visits from the team to check all was ok. I understand that everyone’s experience may be different but ours has been very positive and we are very happy with our new home.

TrustpilotBoorley Park
We moved in boorley park in Dec 2023 just before Christmas. From start to finish the whole process of buying was made very easy and uncomplicated. Joel has been fantastic and very helpful and all of the site managers have been great and they are all very courteous. Any issues we may have had were dealt with very efficiently, which made everything so much more stress free. We've had a great experience with Linden homes and we would recommend.

We moved into our home back in December 23. Both the sales and the site team were really helpful at all times in resolving inevitable issues with a new home, although to be fair they were small in number. We love the house and the development and have no regrets whatsoever.

TrustpilotBoorley Park - would definitely recommend
Can’t fault linden at all. From Joel in the sales office through to Ian the site manager. We had a very smooth moving process, and all our snags were handled very quickly, quicker than we ever imagined would happen! Ian even knocked our door every Friday for weeks to check we were all ok and whether we neededanything. Would definitely recommend.

Trustpilot14 June 2024
On the 13th of June 2024, I visited Meadow Heights. I had reserved my plot with a deposit back in April and paid £3,038 in May for my flooring. Despite being initially told I could move in on the 3rd of April, then the 28th of May, the date was pushed back to the 28th of June. Upon inspection, I found numerous defects in the house. There were cracks in the walls of all the rooms, water damage under the kitchen unit, and the window cill badly damaged by decorators. The finish in my kitchen was inconsistent, and all the doors seemed out of place. The surrounding area of the house had a great big drop, making it unsafe, especially for children, as noted by the surveyor. Despite promises from the saleswoman, Sonia, that fencing would be put up around the boundary lines to prevent people from walking onto the property, I was informed on the 13th of June 2024 that no fencing would be installed. My sister asked her on one of our visits to the property what's going to be around the boundary lines , where the gully, Sonia the sales woman state " it would be fencing around" which was a lie. Because she tells me that the contractor not going to put a fence around, so lie and untrustworthy. All changing because I am pointing out several issues with the property, they are trying to making to difficult so I change my mine about the property. Imagine buying a newly built , not live in there as yet and the developers not wanting to fix the defects and carry out all the work in the property. Imagine when I live in the property and there is problem, can you imagine how these untrustworthy and difficult they are going to be to fix defects and problems.There were massive manholes at the side entrance, unsecured, and a deep pothole next to one of them. The construction director who visited the property with me highlighted these safety issues that needed to be rectified before completion. The garden was in a rough state due to how the topsoil was laid, leaving it purely muddy. The fencing around the garden was poorly done, showing a lack of common sense in landscaping. The inspection chamber was not level with the ground. I highly recommend all potential house buyers to conduct an extensive private snagging report, as it proved to be very useful in my case. The report highlighted inconsistencies in the finish in various areas of the house, such as the hallway, lounge, stairs, and landing and the lists continues..... Unfortunately, I was unable to upload pictures to show the issues. The house is far from being finished, and it seems that the saleswoman for Meadow Heights in Batley is rushing to complete the job to meet her sales target. I strongly advise against buying from this developer, as they have proven to be a waste of time. They may talk nicely and make promises when they want your money, but once they have it, it's a different story. Even mortgage companies are hesitant to provide mortgages for Linden Homes. The detached house located at the rear entrance of the plot is a significant investment at £310,000. Although the new house was intended to provide a wonderful and cozy feeling of home, it has unfortunately resulted in nothing but frustration, anger, anxiety, stress, and various issues. The process of purchasing the house was swift when it came to taking your money, but when faced with problems, the attitude of the individuals involved changed drastically. The sales representative was eager to finalize the sale by the 28th of June 2024, yet did not show the same level of urgency in addressing all the existing problems. It is important to note that I am aware of breaching the contract, and I am well within my rights as outlined in the agreement. Linden Homes will be required to reimburse me for the reservation fee and the £3,038 spent on flooring. Because they are the one breaches their contract. My advice to anyone who thinking buying a house from Linden homes, think twice and ask yourself this question is it worthwhile all the hassle, poorly built quality and rushing to meet sales target 🎯.

TrustpilotFerriby Fields - Scartho Top
Exceptional customer service / care from Stuart Marshall & Sam Lumb I cant rate these chaps enough, we bought our new build from Linden & it felt like buying from a friend rather than a company, I would highly recommend using either sales rep, excellent knowledge, friendly & funny any issues are done prompt & a high level of customer service even when not needed is always given. 5*+

TrustpilotBrindley Edge - Coventry
We first visited the Coventry Linden Homes office in January where we were greeted by Rachael. We found the house we wanted and the process from then on was smooth sailing - mainly due to her organised approach. She has been nothing short of incredible throughout this whole house buying journey. Just before moving in, we had a house demo with Denis who explained everything to us to put our minds at ease before getting the keys. He then visited us 2 weeks after moving in to check any snags that might have come up. Since then, he’s sorted all of our snags (nothing major by the way!) quickly and efficiently - while remaining friendly and professional at all times. We’re so pleased with the service we’ve received and our house is absolutely beautiful. Thank you Linden Homes.

TrustpilotIf we could leave a 0* review then we…
If we could leave a 0* review then we would have done!The customer service is just absolutely appalling. We have been going back and fourth over snags that we reported with the site manager at the time, which we have evidence of, yet because the site manager didn't complete the necessary paperwork at their end correctly they have no records of some of our snags and now are refusing to fix them. They also won't provide any evidence to support their stance either!It seems very much like a large amount of snags were not reported to improve their statistics.I know a very small handful of people on our estate (over 100 homes) that have had a good experience. The rest are going through the same if not worse!

Trustpilotirresponsible
I give one star, because I can't give zero, I booked the plot in August 2023, they said the house would be ready in mid-February, at the beginning of February the seller said she could give notice to my landlord that we would move in at the end of March , I gave notice informing that it would stay until the middle of April, at the end of March they warned that it would not be ready on that date, I asked my Landlord for an extension until the middle of May, but I was informed again that the house would only be ready at the end of May, now I have nowhere to stay, because my Landlord cannot extend it again. And I am simply being ignored in my problem. If you want to avoid hassles, look for another construction company.
