TrustpilotHonestly when we first moved in they…
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.

TrustpilotLinden Homes - Freight Village
Linden Homes (Freight Village) Gateshead impressed us with their professionalism. The initial consultation was thorough, and they took the time to understand our needs and preferences.The quality of construction was excellent and has definitely exceeded our expectations.Thank you very much for all who were involved, especially to Louise that guided us through this process.

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

The team were excellent, they built rapport and understood what we were after as customers. Always helpful throughout the full process of pre and post purchase. The site team have been excellent with checking in on anything we may require.

TrustpilotShame you have to give a star
Shame you have to give a star, zero works for me. This company consists of cowboys. They do shoddy jobs and fob you off with lie after lie. Do not even buy a house from them for you will spend more money rectifying their mistakes that they bodge up even more. The customer service is awful. The building work is terrible. Fitters are paid for the number of kitchens they fit in a day - imagine the quality. Everything is done on the cheap. My advice? Go with a reputable builder.

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.

TrustpilotGreat after sales service and excellent…
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

TrustpilotBoorley Park
From start to finish everyone involved with our house purchase has been excellent. We moved into our new home in December 2023 and the customer care and service from Joel was outstanding from the very start. Nothing was too much trouble, we were kept informed every step of the way during the build of our home to the day the keys were ours, with clear communication and support from Joel. There were a couple hiccups outside of Lindens control that caused delays, but we were promised a move in date and Joel with the site team miracously made it happen (I still dont how they managed it, absolutely incredible!) We have had nothing but ongoing support from the site team since moving in. I would reccomend the Boorley Park Linden and Site teams to anyone, they have been fabulous.
4/5
TrustpilotThe home and onsite team
The home and onsite team, sales person and site manager, were excellent, helpful, understanding and facilitated a good move. However, the Linden solicitor was less competent, sending out-of-date site maps only days before potential exchange. I was forced to make a 5 hr round trip journey to the site engineer to clarify the actual site map, adding last minute stress.

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.

TrustpilotWe moved into our home back in December…
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.

TrustpilotDeeply regret our house purchase
Deeply regret our house purchase. Everything is substandard; we can understand wear and tear (albeit too soon for wear and tear issues!), but if it's a design fault then it's something we'll have to live with.For example, the downstairs toilet needs unclogging periodically because the underground pipes are kinked!They are finally resurfacing the roads. But, instead of doing it in sections, they decided it's a good idea to block access for 2 days (in a row) that coincides with bin collection days.

Moved into Harrington Park around 18 months ago. Patrick Williamson was always attentive and happy to help. Made the whole settling in period seemless by going the extra yard to get jobs done quickly. Would recommend.
