TrustpilotBishops Cleeve - New Home
We brought our Linden house in Bishops Cleeve in June 2018, we were helped from day 1 with regards to exchanging our current home, we were given a set move in date and we move in on that date. There were a few snags as to be expected these were quickly rectified and the after sales team has been helpful with the one issue we had. AJ has been helpful throughout the entire process and we have been in the home circa 15 months and have no complaints. Very happy customers.Jack

I don’t normally write reviews but I felt that the experience I had with linden homes at Cleeve view warranted it. From the initial reservation of our house to this day (approximately 15 months) they have been most helpful. Initially any snagging was dealt with quickly and professionally by the trades and AJ and the site team would always ensure that we were satisfied and AJ would go beyond to make sure of this. Now my two daughters have also purchased on this site and Gemma was most helpful in keeping me in the loop as well as updating the girls.Yes not everything’s perfect the appliances are lower end and if I was to make an improvement it would be this.My home moving experience and the fact that as a family we purchased three houses says it all would recommend to a friend

TrustpilotHere's my honest view - steer clear!
Here's my honest review as a recent buyer from Linden:Lets face it, all big housebuilders are working to give return to shareholders. As such, they build as quick as possible, and build to a price. Snags are to be expected.However - the number of snags, coupled with the arrogance of customer services made us regret buying. There were about 25 things that needed fixing. I don't want to say what the snags were in case Linden identify us and go to town on us with lawyers - that's the sort of company they are.They attempted to charge us for two of the snags! I objected to this and we've heard nothing since.My advice would be to steer clear unless you are prepared for 6 months of stress and frustration. Their one saving grace was a great site manager at the end of our struggles that actually got things done. He wasnt afraid to yell at the hideous apes that Linden employs to work on site in order to get things fixed for us.If I was a senior boss at Linden (or indeed a shareholder), I'd have major concerns for the future.

TrustpilotI wouldn't buy from them again. Shame.
Pain to deal with them. We bought a new build home (Borley Park, Botley) and gave them our key to sort out snagging problems after we moved our belongings into the house. Next day when I was at work and they worked on the house our smart alarm system recorded one of their people as he rummaged in our drawers. The next day they sacked the man and they said sorry. I had to replace the locks, and put a new security system in place plus disposed of all the effected clothes which cost me thousands. I ask Linden to pay for some of the damage they caused because of their negligence, but I had no luck with them. Nice. I wouldn't buy from them again. Shame.

Having been in our house in Truro now for 3 years, the house is good quality and a really nice design, just make sure you get them to fix any problems as soon as you possibly can as time goes by as they loose interest the longer you leave it. Make sure to check every screw, fixing, hinge, downpipe, french windows etc... in the first couple of weeks of use and keep on at them until they turn up. AND when they do turn up make sure you are there to make sure everything is fixed.

Trustpilotpoor Housekeeping
I currently live on montbray in Barnstaple a linden home, we are required to pay some sort of maintenance charge for keeping the place neat & tidy whilst I think this is a good idea I don’t like the fact that plants are being planted only to be left to die & at our expense be replanted a couple of weeks later, surely this is a complete waste of our hard earned money .

TrustpilotGoogle 'Portsmouth news woman suicidal' re Linden
To a recent Reviewer saying "this is a genuine review" all I can say is how naive to give a 5* rating just over a month after moving in. Encouraged to leave a 5* review so soon yet who, in their right mind, gives 5 stars then goes on to list multiple things wrong !!!!! If they were genuine I'd have thought 3 stars at most would have been more appropriate. Snags having to be done multiple times, getting contractors back not once, not twice but 3 times. This reviewer does realise, surely, that when giving a review against Linden that does include their contractors 🤔 so complains or admits faults yet still gives 5* 😂Let's see if they still want to give 5* when they've been in 2 years or when something major goes wrong and Linden doesn't want to know. Maybe this reviewer should Google 'Portsmouth news woman suicidal" and see the contempt Linden really treat its customers with.How anyone can give 5* to this abhorrent, unethical, bullying, cowboy of a builder is beyond me.

TrustpilotLovely family home- Cleeve View
This is a genuine review.We bought our finished house (The Cheltenham) in May 2019 and moved in in July 2019 due to our jobs and we have had a very good experience with everything so far and our pleased with our choice.Neil in the Sales office was competent and not pushy allowing us to choose between a couple of plots. He was helpful and answered all our questions.The buying process was quick and efficient as we weren't in a chain as we had sold our flat previously and were renting.The move itself was easy and I cannot praise AJ, the site manager, more. He really goes beyond to sort out any issues, has a real attention to detail and genuinely cares that you have a good experience. He's also my toddler's hero and is always so nice to him. No snag is too small and he will keep chasing to get it sorted.The site at Cleeve View is nicely thought out, wide streets and plenty of parking spaces. Also a decent amount of greenery so you don't feel hemmed in. Our garden is a decent size and the double garage is enormous. As is expected we have had a few snagging issues such as paint work, some wall dents (mainly caused by the wardrobe fitters), a fan not wired correctly and the patio doors warping. Nothing we couldn't live with till fixed. We do have a couple of improvements to suggest though:-I would say that the contractors that Linden use can be a bit hit and miss. The wardrobes (paid for by the interiors package) were fitted by Goodings and they had to come three times to make them work and even then left holes in the walls for Linden to fix. AJ was on this very quickly though. We had an issue with a painter not completing the snagging list so had to have another visit. Luckily I was around but I can imagine if you were working it would be frustrating.Also it is a shame that Linden choose to cost cut in certain places: --The Indesit appliances feel quite cheap. The double oven only came with two racks and the fridge with one shelf and a bottle shelf which is pointless. -No higher units in the utility room (have had to buy more ourselves and pay to have them fitted).-A lack of sockets or positioned in strange places- Irritating that you can only turn lights on/off from one switch in the family room/ dining room/ kitchenOverall I would definitely recommend this Linden site and others on here and in the street are all happy with theirs.

TrustpilotAbbey Farm B Swindon
My wife and I purchased a Linden Windsor in October 2017. We have had our fair share of issues from drainage problems to the usual snagging such as creaky floor boards and settlement cracks. At first there was a problem with communication between the customer care team and my wife and I but Linden made changes internally which inturn helped in building a good relationship between Linden and ourselves . We will have been in our house 2 years in October and the issues are coming to a close within the 2 years builders guarantee. The best way to approach issues with house builders is to build good communication and a relationship where both parties respect each other and the same end goal within a realistic time frame. I have been in the civil engineering and construction industry for 22 years so can relate to being the contractor and the buyer. My advise is to steer clear of witch hunts, spouting off on social media and concentrate on sorting your own home and all will come good. My family are now enjoying our Linden home almost issue free.Hope this helps anyone only reading the bad reviews.

I’ve never known such a untrustworthy company in my life!! Poor workman ship!! Bad attitude off staff mainly managers!!!! Never admit liability or fault for there mistakes!! I’ve never cried as much in my life as I have while dealing with awful company!! We’re now stuck in a awful situation with them as we’ve spend thousands on furniture/ blinds etc all ready to exchange to find out we’ve been miss sold a house with false boundaries and were being blamed because we’ve only just noticed 😂 “sorry for trusting in the company!! More fool us!! Over a meter width we’ve lost to our neighbours!! To be told they will compensate us with a dishwasher and washing machine 🤦♀️ There refusing to move the boundaries now as the other house is occupied! So now we have to have the property re-valued again!! And basically start from scratch!! I want to pull out of the whole thing but there refusing to help cover our money lost!! My advice stay clear!

TrustpilotA shameful collection of human beings- so far I have had 49 days of work to fix my house!
This is a wholly untrustworthy, unreliable, dishonest and poor quality builder.I purchased a new build executive property from them ( £0.6m - 2.5 years ago) and am still trying to fix it, it breaks quicker than can be fixed!)Properties are built entirely by sub-contractors, to low standards, without adequate quality control or supervision. The output is shocking. To make matters worse, post sale support is nothing short of offensive. It can only be described as a fight to get your home into a suitable, merchantable, standard.The home builder ( if they eventually accept responsibility for the defect), just pass the issue to the sub contractor, no engagement, no supervision, no project management ( if the issue needs more than one sub-contractor you are in real trouble). I cannot stress how poor this experience is. Please - for your own health and well being, do not buy a house from this builder.. So far I have had 49 days of remedial ‘home’ days where I was needed to be available for contractors. This truly is an awful company with an attitude to match...shameful human beings who have no conscience.

Glued together carpet in the bedroom , broken windows, bulging walls, no silicone around the bathroom floor and downstairs toilet. Patio doors had to be attended to 10 times......just a snippet of the shoddy crap this company dishes up.Boundary issues as our house boundary has been put in the wrong place. Nearly 2 years on still have mold on our bathroom ceiling as the extractor vent was installed incorrectly. Back garden covered concrete in orange tarp then 1 inch sod on top slimy mess of an uneven garden. Never get any response from customer service in the 7 days. Asked for it to be pushed to head of customer service. Still waiting for a response. !!!! Aarrgggghhhh they are despicable. Once they have your money they dont care.

It has been 16 month since we 1st reported our faulty banister. They came out today for the 6th time and once again wrong parts had been ordered. Our banister is now bare wood and screws sticking out from where they tried to take it out before checking the parts they had. We have been told once again, the parts will be ordered. They are presently building more houses round the corner, surely they have bannisters. We are also waiting for a replacement weather shield for the front door, of which they brought the wrong one. The plaster finishing at the bottom of the staircase which has been missed. The patio doors still letting in draft as apparently they have put in the wrong sized doors.
