Forest Grove
I recently purchased a home in Forest Grove and couldn't be happier! The home itself is done to a high standard and personally I haven't experienced any issues (other than very minor snags which were picked up and fixed immediately by the team). Laura Clasper in the sales office was fantastic throughout the purchase and still has been since - very responsive, helpful and pleasant to deal with. Site managers Martin and Steve have been brilliant coming to check on me and the house, getting people out to fix snags and generally being conscientious. Being a first time buyer, I didnt know what to expect at all from buying from a big developer, but it's been a 5* experience all round.
Hi Charley. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and congratulations on your first home! We’re really pleased to hear of the service you received. We'll pass your great feedback onto the Forest Grove team. Kind regards, Sam

House not finished and to poor standard
We moved in on the date Barratt insisted on to find the house not finished. We had around 5 contractors in our home every day for 5 weeks. After this it still was not finished. We have had a huge number of issues to include a bottle of urine in the attic, chocolate bar wrappers stuffed behind radiators, the house was filthy, doors that wouldn't close, lights that don't work, kitchen not completed, damp which is still ongoing 2 months later, 3 leaks in 3 different rooms and floors that were too damp to lay flooring on.We also had no access to Internet for 4 weeks and no bins for over a month. We have had three leaks, one the pipes under the sink are such a mess that the shelf under the sink put pressure on them and flooded the kitchen, a second the pipes under the bath weren't sealed causing water to come through the lounge roof, the third a pipe not fitted correctly to the hot water tank caused water to come through the downstairs toilet. I reported further issues to after care and site managers mid August but have still had no resolution.
Good evening.Thank you for your detailed feedback which is really important to us, and we’re genuinely sorry that this was not a better experience for you.We will ensure that these comments are passed to the relevant management team and ask that someone contacts you. Kind regards, Charlotte.UPDATE:Good evening,I understand Luke from our Customer Care team has contacted you directly and will soon be arranging to visit you in your home.Kind regards, Ros

Sarah, Lewis and Maria were extremely brilliant. The professionalism is top notch. Everything we experienced was satisfying from viewing, to reservation to exchange of contracts, to pre completion tour to completion. I will recommend barratt homes Hampton Beach any day any time.

Poor customer service
We purchased our home September 2023 and have had numerous snags and other issues that have developed over time. We’ve been in contact with the North Midlands customer service team and the communication is awful. They take weeks to respond to emails and have had to be chased on every occasion. We have a hole in our roof that is not being sorted in a timely manner as it’s not classified as an ‘emergency’. We have had to ring everyday to speak to the customer care team who just pass the issue around and do not make solid attempts to solve anything.
Good evening,Your review is very important to us and we’re genuinely sorry that this was not a better experience for you. Please be assured that your comments will be highlighted to the team and we will ask that someone contact you.Kind regards, RosUPDATE:Good afternoon,I'm pleased to hear that the relevant team have now been in touch regarding this review.Best wishes, Charlotte.

Barrette Sales Office in New Malden…
Barrette Sales Office in New Malden provided excellent service to me and my wife in our recent visit. The sales advisor Jane was exceptionally amiable, helpful and patient in explaining the available flats of Sterling Place on sale and went out of her way to address our every question. She gave me much confidence in booking the flat of our liking.
Hi George. Thank you for sharing the start of your experience with Barratt Homes.We’ll make sure Jane gets to see your great feedback! Kind regards, Sam

Complete waste of space and money
In a new build, only been in 20 months. Onto our 6th leak, the current one today is the worse we have had rain literally coming through our window which has soaked all the wood, walls and carpet. My husband has logged this at 930 this morning, he has even been to see the site manager. We have had no response. We have two children with additional needs which are needing to sleep out tonight as we do not want them to become unwell due to the home being damp... £305,000, made by a Mickey Mouse Company with Tradesmen to suit. I will be going to the media.
Good evening,Your review is very important to us and we’re genuinely sorry that this has not been a better experience for you. I would like to ask a member of the relevant team to contact you regarding these issues. Where we are unable to locate you on our system, we have instructed Trustpilot to gain further information, so we are able to identify the correct team to pass this to.Kind regards, Ros

Excellent and professional support from Liam!!
Barratt's customer care has been second to none. I have to give a special shout out to the assistant site manager (Liam Falconer) at "The Strand" Portobello. He made himself available for even the smallest of queries, he would come round to help with personal tasks such as house signs and curtain rails, and always organised a joiner or painter when needed. For this reason alone I would say my first home experience with Barratt has been excellent. Barratt should reward staff like this as word of mouth is powerful, and I could not recommend them enough based on this experience.
Hi Justin. We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear about your positive experience. It's wonderful to know that you were so impressed with the service provided by Liam. We will share your feedback with the division. Wishing you many happy years in your new home. Kind regards, Sam

Outstanding Support from Helen!
My partner and I recently moved into our new home on the development, and I can honestly say that Helen, the assistant site manager, has been an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire process. From the moment we moved in, she’s been incredibly responsive and helpful, making what can be a stressful experience so much smoother.Helen has gone above and beyond to assist with any questions or concerns we’ve had about the property, ensuring that any minor issues were addressed promptly and professionally. Her friendly, approachable nature has made us feel truly welcome in our new home, and her dedication to her work is evident in every interaction.We couldn’t be happier with the support she’s provided, and we feel very fortunate to have had her guiding us through this important transition. Thank you, Helen, for making our move-in experience so positive!
Hi Chan. Many thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We’re really pleased to hear of the service you received. We’ll make sure Helen gets to see your great feedback! Thank you for choosing Barratt Homes for your new home, we wish you many happy years of memories. Kind regards, Sam

Avoid!!!
Avoid!!!In 1 year ive had10 new windows needed. New lawn needed. Leaking toilet due to poor fitting. Leaking bath due to terrible fitting (dhame i cant show the photos). Lack of insulation in roof. New front door needed due to gap big enough to blow a candle out (got a video of that.) Lights in kitchen out of line. Plug sockets loose. Tape left around windows. Poor grout in tiles. Outer doors incomplete. All snagging list which can be fixed. But takes too long or get ignored to fix. Flooded bathroom due to bath being on a screw punching hole in bath. Damp then went into next room. Barratts agreed £1500 for new bath and all of above plus 1 year of torment goodwill. I take the bath out and the damp has gone behind all the tiles. £1500 does not cut it but im out of energy kick off anymore. To get their attention i had to bombard facebook.Just please avoid at all costs because you really do buy low quality workmanship and a pretty slack customer service afterwards. House next door is for sale but i shall be showing pictures of what they can be expecting if they do buy.£500k house but once you sign and get the keys its a frustrating year long headache.Im still waiting since July for damp from upstairs bathroom to be fixed.Since then downstairs loo leaked at a fast rate. I made a mistake getting dyno rod due to being a weekend. As he fitted a part its voided the warranty for this toilet so the leak which has reduced is now on me. My fault for not waiting for barratts to sort.I was happier but then had to wait from July to then call and badger them to pay the money in September. How long is acceptable to go without a bathroom? Honestly im fuming. Im off to get Mug tattoed on my head.Edit.... Wintringham site. They were fully aware of all the issues. Not a lot can be done. Just warning future buyers which if i manage to see any passing i will make them aware what they are getting into.

Home repairs remain outstanding.
I moved into my home in August last year and I need the skirting and a few other things fixed in the house. The initial appointment for these to be sorted was on 22/7/24. On that day, a member of the repair team came to the house late in the afternoon, assessed the amount of work needed, and was not able to do it that day. This was disappointing as I had already taken time off work for that job. My next availability is in September. I have emailed my usual Barratt Home contact with no replies. I would like this work to be carried out as soon as possible.
