Deeply unprofessional

Deeply unprofessional, including the agents they employ to sell their homes.

Agent replied · 23 September 2025

Dear Abhishek, Thank you for your feedback. We genuinely appreciate your interest in the property and the time you took to submit an offer. In this instance, the offer was significantly below the asking price, and while we understand and respect your position, it did not align with the our listing price or current market conditions. We remain committed to treating all prospective buyers with professionalism and respect, and we wish you the very best in finding the right property for your needs. Kind Regards Customer Service Manager

Just purchased a Maxwell at Richmond Park. First time buying a new build. Very smooth purchase everyone at Abbey have been amazing. Can’t fault anything with the property we are very happy. From Leianne in the show home office to the site managers they just couldn’t help enough and even after completion they have been available if we have had any questions.

Highly recommend Abbey New Homes - Oakwell Place

Highly recommend Abbey new homes, moved in Feb 2025. Site manager Connor was very helpful, informative and professional on every meeting. He ensured our snagging list was completed to satisfaction before handing over to the customer care team. The house is beautiful and everything we wanted.

Don’t use Abbey Homes

Don’t use Abbey Homes. Poor quality of materials, squeaky floorings, staircases not level, sloppy garden, guttering not connected to drainage system, trying to get away with things all the time and cutting corners. Customer care very poor.

Disgraceful experience

Finally decided to purchase my new home and choose Abbey Homes but unfortunately experience has been horrendous since day one. Site team was very unhelpful and Customer Service has been ignoring our concerns and refusing to come and sort the issues. Unacceptable situation. They bend over backwards for you initially when they are getting their commission and all is joyful then as soon as they hand over the keys they couldn’t give a flying fluff about you! Trying to chase up snags is like trying to find rocking horse poo. Definitely won’t be buying a house from them again. Abbey Homes Customer Team feel free to contact me if you actually care about your customers or reputation.

Exceptional Service - Highly Recommend!

I recently purchased a new home at Havilland Park with Abbey New Homes and the experience has been fantastic! I have been looked after every step of the way. The team have gone above and beyond from start to finish, ensuring I am happy and settled in my new home, which has been greatly appreciated. I would like to give a particular mention to Gill, the sales executive, who was extremely helpful dealing with everything leading up to the successful completion, and to Dean, the site manager, for a seamless handover and very efficiently sorting any snagging requirements and being on hand to assist - nothing has been too much trouble. I would highly recommend Abbey New Homes!

Chestnut GroveI recently purchased my second home with Abbey New Homes, and the experience has been awesome. Right from the start when I consulted with Marina, James and Amy, I've had lots of support and everyone has been so helpful, guiding me through every step of the house buying process and ensuring everything went according to plan with the completion date not long to go

Buying our first ever New build home at Wellington Gardens in Walmer

Buying our first ever New build home with Abbey Homes has been an amazing experience and we are so pleased we chose this quality development on the edge of the countryside with field views but still close to amenities. We love our new home , plot 7 at Wellington Gardens in Walmer and have felt thoroughly looked after from start to finish and beyond! The sales team were exceptional and held our hands through the entire ordeal of the legals. Our first contact was Amanda who showed us around several properties and answered all our queries. She was very friendly and reassuring with the buying process. We then were very impressed with Zoe with her thorough knowledge, she has been extremely friendly and kept us fully informed throughout the whole process and took alot of the stress away.Prior to completion we met Simon, the site manager, for our full house demonstration. He knows everything about how our house works and now so do we! He also dealt with our snagging list which was very minor but he resolved all the issues quickly and efficiently. We felt very looked after and nothing was too much trouble, he went above and beyond our expectations. Following his visit, the next day, he accompanied Steve from Sunshine plumbing to sort out a few radiators. We were so impressed with the speedy service as it was just before Xmas! Steve was great and sorted the radiators out quickly and very patiently explained how the heating works.We would highly recommend Abbey Homes and their team for anyone considering buying an efficient, well made, brand new home. We are delighted with our new home and definitely feel its been money well spent.

Fraudsters = Abbey Homes

We bought our house from these cheap skate developers after dealing with fraudsters who pose as bona fide sales persons. the elderly ladies who they appointed as sales people should have had some shame, before they lied and mis sold. Thankfully NHBC have paid out £5k+ to rectify poor building quality and workmanship. Please please please avoid these low life scammers

Dream house to absolutely nightmare

When we bought our new house we were delighted. The first few weeks of moving in the staff couldn’t be faulted. However after being more than a year while the house has started to settle that’s when all the problems started.The houses are fitted with poor quality materials that do meet the national standard but only just. Squeaky floor, unlevel staircase, issues with drainage in carport, marestail breaking through tarmac in drive way and other issues.When contacting Abbey Homes customer service they are really rude and unhelpful. Always seem to pass you on to other people and the problem never is actually resolved.Customer service is shocking as we would never buy a Abbey house again as we are left with house that has lots of issues and they are now refusing to resolve the issues.

2 years ago when we moved into a new build at St Nicholas Place, Abbey Homes was promising to deal with snagging/issues, 2 years later I am still waiting. This is not to mention anything else about the lies they said when selling these properties. I could not buy a house from them.

Arcadia Park team

From the very start of my journey with my first experience with Barbara, I just instantly knew I was making the right decision and can confirm i definitely did.Barbara on the sales teams, is one of the warmest and sweetest, genuine people you’ll ever come across in life. Barbara gave me all the information I needed and always replied back to my emails and messages very quickly. Barbara was also always more than happy to arrange any on site visits when I wanted to check on the progress. This is a very reassuring and special touch I was very impressed with, especially for a first time buyer. I had a couple issues with my process (nothing to do with Abby new home) in which I was then put in touch with Jessica. Jessica was absolutely amazing and really held my hand and supported me a lot which I was very grateful for even when she didn’t have to do any of that for me. At the start of my journey when I had my first site visit, I met Ian and Nev, the site managers. Meeting them also reassured me I had made the right choice by going with Abby new home. A lovely special touch that Ian allowed me do it on my first visit, is to sign my name on the wall. Since moving into the property, Nev has been nothing short of amazing, really going above and way beyond to ensure everything is okay and is quickly on hand if anything should need doing around the house. I would definitely recommend Abby new home, Arcadia park and especially to first time buyers 10/10. Thank you to Barbara, Nev, Ian and the team, it’s been a pleasurable first time buyers experience!

Angela Anderson, Abbey

I bought a new home from Abbey in April ‘24, and, as with all new homes, there have been a few snagging issues. Angela Anderson has now taken over the management of these issues and has been really good at getting them resolved in as quick a time as possible. She also always replies promptly to emails, which is essential to customer care. I had the pleasure of meeting Angela today and found her to be very friendly and personable - and she is very knowledgable and well informed. Thanks for all your help Angela

Mouldy Kitchen Floors, Thanks Abbey

Abbey have still left us with mould growing under our kitchen floor and have now washed their hands of the situation following 2 months of trying to tell us we were lying. Investigations have shown lying water underneath the lino and now that they have realised the washing machine isn't leaking and the pipes under the sink are fine (like we already mentioned) they refuse to now take any further action so leave us with mould in our home.

Love my new home in Artemis Gardens

Love my new home in Artemis Gardens, plot 42, Sholden. Kate and Zoe made the process very easy after a rather stressful failed house purchase- always accommodating. Site agents Pat and Nick responded to my queries and issues without hesitation. Couldn’t have asked for an easier process. Thank you.
