Gleeson is the worst company to deal…

Gleeson is the worst company to deal with its defects . At the beginning we was assured that any problems will be dealt with but as it’s been a year and a half we are reporting defects and we are getting declined for no good reasons !!! We have tried to explain over and over again and yet we are getting shrugged off !!! What is the point saying one thing and doing the complete opposite . Warranty of the house is offered and yet nothing you can do can resolve it ! Just avoid ! We have a raised so many defects and it just keeps getting declined blaming us rather than coming out and seeing the issue first .

Bad company

Due to reading gleesons recent response to my previous review, I won't contact gleesons because it is a waste of space and having reading other reviews, I am disgusted with the way other people have been treated. Due to these people reporting having no street lighting, I am in the same situation. After speaking with Deborah, she said that it wasn't gleesons issue and have been told otherwise that it is their issue. I have got now to the stage to see either citizens advice or a solicitor to get these issues resolved as I have had to pay out of my own money to have jobs done that needed doing to the property. Gleesons just fobbed me off and always telling me to report it to customer care, but all they do is just push it one to side. Customer care clearly don't give assurance that these jobs will be carried out. We have contacted them on 8 occasions and nothing has been done

We have been in our home now on…

We have been in our home now on monteney park Sheffield for over 2 years, we was the last stage of the development. To this day we still have no street lighting on our road lots of groundwork still to be done. All you get when ringing gleeson homes is that there still waiting on a contracter to finish work, you should not have to pay nearly £200,000 for an house to have to look out of your living room window to an eyesore everyday. From the day we signed for our keys all we've been done is lied to and fobbed off, personally I think gleeson homes are a bunch of cowboys and wouldn't recommend them to anyone

New home

I bought my first home from Deborah at Holbeck Park. She helped make the process as smooth as possible by keeping us well informed about everything and providing good advice where needed. She is a very friendly person and a credit to Gleeson homes.I have had to update my review and change it as my house was given to me in a horrible state. Scuffs to the toilet, bannisters and paintwork around the house and flooring not put down correctly. I had mould growing in the living room which took 7 weeks to resolve. The builders came into my home with muddy shoes and I was promised new carpets, a few weeks later I was told the carpets will not be changed and instead cleaned. Almost a month and a half after getting my keys I still have not moved in due to the ongoing problems. The site manager is on hand to help, however the members of staff within the customer care team are unhelpful.

Outsatanding

From 1st encounter to near completion stage at Bilsthorpe site, I cannot praise the knowledge, thoroughness and professionalism and empathy from Mary George who seems to have a physic ability to know my needs. Nothing has been to much for this hard working lady, with weekly updates even at the very start. Marys knowledge and intelligence is far and beyond what I could have expected. Such a great kind person that has gone above and beyond to aid my move during this stressful situation. Thank you so much. Cant wait to move in.

Great Quality for your money and brilliant service from all involved

Purchased my first home from Gleeson in St Helens a couple of years back. The sales team made everything crystal clear and were always on hand for any questions. The quality of the house was fantastic and I was impressed working in the new build construction sector myself as a tradesman. Any issues were picked up quick and dealt with efficiently. Unfortunately I had to sell due to an expanding family and the need to be closer to family for childcare support which resulted in me now being in a second hand 1950’s build purely for location. The difference in finish, energy efficiency (cost of gas and electric) and facilities (one bathroom, no downstairs toilet, no en suit) is gutting and hard to adapt to! If gleeson appear in the area we need to be as a family il be sure to buy another! More recently I have been to visit one of their current developments, unfortunately after visiting it’s just slightly too far …despite it being a different location and staff to where I originally purchased, their care, attention and advice is to the same standard as when I met them as a first time buyer.

Dont Be Fooled

As anticipated really. Helpful throughout purchase stage, slow and difficult to get a proper response post sale. Completed 29/09 and still no key to the garage, only house with outdoor charging point not installed, internal snags not fixed, no access to my Gleeson app provided so I'm having to send emails to highlight issues. Site manager attends looks around says will get someone out nothing happens. paint is awful, whole house if showing paint defects, loose oven extractor fan, unassembled cupboard, not sure if set up with gas and electric yet as no updates, no water metre installed yet, drive too high so scrapes bottom of your car. Sent multiple emails with multiple points to be addressed, emails are sent back addressing only the 1st point or the main concern in the email, other parts not addressed. Mother is looking to purchase with northbeck grange soon, will be doing what I can to persuade her not to.Have spoken to several neighbours all say the same thing. Don't be sold by the customer service beforehand. If you want an honest review on what you are walking into, please knock-on doors and politely ask the people actually living in the properties.

Gleeson home px scheme.

Gleeson homes, part exchange scheme, what a con, Firstly, the 2 estate agents gleeson sends out are told not to value our home at market value, this I know because one of the agents sent to value my home was a family member,Secondly, After not hearing from them for 3 weeks, I had to ask them why the delay, the lovely sales woman was too scared to ring me to tell me that they won't take our house in part ex as it's too old.. and is basically worthless. I own a 2 bed victorian stone semi, in beautiful condition and surroundings. Edge of a village, double garage etc, I've never heard so much rubbish in my life. It's all rubbish..Gleeson, change your 3rd party buyer, as they don't know the housing market, or is it a case of buy low and sell high,

Amazing Experience!

Me and my partner have just exchanged on our property and have had an absolutely amazing experience with Gleeson from the very start. Being first time buyers, everything was new and confusing to us, but Amaara has made everything so simple and easy. She is always there to answer any queries we have, whether that’s in person or an out of the blue phone call/text, and always keeps us in the loop with updates to help keep our stresses at ease. Very grateful for all the help she has provided throughout this process :)

Got a Gleeson homes in September from the Pastures site in Nottingham.It was extremely easy and they organised pretty much everything.As any new house it had its minor issues that so far have been fixed without issues. The site staff is polite and very helpful. When they come over, they take their shoes, always make sure that they can come in, kind to my pets.Mary the site assistant is just fantastic, nothing is to much for her. Always happy to help and with a smile. Very human and empathic.It's been a great experience

Avoid the Moorland green site Chopwell…

Avoid the Moorland green site Chopwell at all costs! Staff are incompetent, lie constantly and fail to comply to the legislation and contract that they have with home owners.We moved in not long ago and it’s been utter hell, our garden like many others on site was left in a diabolical state which is costing us £8000 to rectify ourselves! A foot fall no homeowner should have to pay when they purchase a BRAND NEW home!!There is not an ounce of compassion or decency from any member of staff that we have dealt with. There was a Site manager that promised the earth then left which then meant there was no record of what he said he would do to our garden to try and make it SAFE! One of my children’s were hurt whilst out in what was deemed as a “safe garden” There was in fact roofing lats burrowed under the soil and my son gauged his leg open! The assistant site manager then called round and whilst I explained my concerns she picked up a ball of glass put it in my hand and said “you may want to put this in the bin!” Absolutely disgraceful!!When the Staff are challenged they constantly have excuses, say they will “get back to us” or “speak to the technicians” but NOTHING ever has an outcome!! The staff either leave all together or go on the sick!Builders come to rectify their mistakes and make matters a hell of a lot worse! Damaging both internal and external parts of my property!!!!! I have endless amounts of videos/ pictures / emails /text messages of the utter rubbish we have dealt with since moving in here!After speaking to many neighbours I don’t know of one person on this site that is happy with their homes / gardens that gleeson have provided. Again I believe this speaks for itself!Personally I wish I read a review like this prior to getting our home through gleeson because it would have urged us not to!Regardless of the fact that they are NHBC registered it means absolutely nothing! NHBC also fail to step in until 2 years after the sale of property - they said that gleeson have a duty / contract with homeowners so they just dismiss you!This is a continuous battle that we will have until we are fully compensated for the trauma and losses that we have faced! But for now I’ll just have to see what lies transpire from Gleeson next!I have never ever taken to a social platform before to discredit any company however if I can prevent one person from buying a home from them and having to be faced with the utter rubbish that we have, then I guess that in itself is a win!I am however looking forward to getting an outcome from the legal advice that I’ve recently sought about the negligence from Gleeson

My experience buying a Gleeson property in the North West

My experience buying a Gleeson property from the Manchester/Merseyside region has been flawless from start to finish.The sales team were extremely helpful, really settling and informative. Going the distance to ensure our journey was as smooth as it could possibly be.The construction team were also very helpful and transparent, keeping their promise of our completion date with regular unprompted updates on our build stages.I would recommend Gleeson GM/MS to anyone looking to move into a stress free new build home.

Extremely helpful

Myself and my family called into the widdrington Greatmoor park development today to see the 3/4 bedroom homes. We were greeted by Dan and shown around the homes. We left with plenty of information on all the properties that we were interested in and more.We will return for further viewing. Dan was extremely helpful and friendly.

Unbelievably good support

We've had excellent service from Jon Vickers and the Gleeson team. He's been so supportive throughout our process, especially at more difficult times with the sale of our current property.I honestly believe that most other developers would have turned away from us as buyers long ago with the trials and tribulations we've gone through in our sale, but Jon and Gleeson have not only stuck by us, they've actively looked to support and provide solutions to our situation.

Professional and friendly approach to customers

Professionalism at its peak was my experience when I visited Vickers Grange for an appointment. The sales person welcomed us warmly and went through all the paperwork and site inspections with us . A very detailed explanation of everything involved was done in the most amazing way possible and the follow up was cool as well. While this could be said to be the norm, the warmth around the sales representative showed that this wasn’t just about business but a big effort to ensure customers were more than satisfied.

Chimes Bank, Gleeson Homes

A bit of a mixed experience with Gleeson - the purchase to completion was great, largely due to Caroline the Sales Executive at Chimes Bank . She was great & a credit to Gleesons. Without her help and support we would not have got here. The after sales however has left a bit to be desired, largely due to a lack of communication. A few faults which have pretty much now been resolved.That said, the latest defects have been rejected - apparently plaster falling from the ceiling is acceptable as long as it's in under 7 places, and damp is ok despite the temperature being within the suggested range.

Myself and my partner have bought our very first home together with Gleeson. Anytime we have had any questions, Zara at Greymoor Meadows, has been absolutely amazing. Shes always got time for us and always finds every way to help us out. She gives us lots of information and helpful facts on all aspects of the house. Would 100% recommend Gleeson, for the friendliness of all staff members and the ease of going through all the fun adult stuff!

Hays Park, Halifax.

In March 2022 I purchased my property as a first time buyer. I purchased the Tyrone which suited me as I fell in love with the layout of the house, as well as the location of the development. From start to finish, Sarah, the Sales Executive was absolutely wonderful. Sarah ensured I was well informed of the build development stages of my property and made sure that any questions I had were managed and handled effectively, further ensuring that I got a prompt informative response. As a first time buyer, living alone, this experience was extremely nerving, making big decisions by myself with little knowledge of the process. Sarah ensured that I was well supported with my decisions, and most importantly not rushed into making any of these 'big' decisions. Sarah provided recommendations such as 'Meridian Mortgages' which again was massively useful, as this sped up the process of my reservation and purchase going through. Overall, I cannot thank our Sales Executive enough for being friendly, approachable, honest and most importantly genuine - I never felt pushed into making any costly decisions. I have been living in my property just coming up to a month now, in terms of snags, (which are expected as a result of the house being a 'new build') I have had very little. Some of the snags on my list were minor touch ups which can be resolved fairly quickly. I was told to log any snags on the 'My Gleeson' App of which I have done and that these will be picked up by the site manager. So far, the site manager is going through my snag list and has already actioned some of the changes despite me only uploading my snag list a week ago.I made my reservation on the 26th March for my property and my keys were released on the 26th August. I cannot complain with the service Gleeson have provided so far. Throughout the 5 months of my property being developed, I was made to feel involved as regular updates were provided by Sarah. I was provided with pictures throughout the different stages which was massively useful to look back on and see how fast the progress was being made on my property. As I lived further away from where my property was being constructed, these updates were massively appreciated as this saved petrol and time having to go see the different construction stages myself in person. I work for the NHS and do shift work, one of the biggest worries were that I would not be available to visit site due to working, this was never a problem with Sarah or the team, as they would always accommodate a time or date that was suitable to my rota. Again, a huge help and made the process effortless.Ultimately, I cannot complain with the service received so far from Gleeson. The Sales Office has been open on weekends as well as throughout the week which has been massively convenient providing I needed to nip down to ask any questions or clarify anything. I would definitely recommend Gleeson Homes as a first time buyer as in my experience the entire process from start to finish has been seamless.
