Met with Rhodri today to view 2 properties and right from the go he was very welcoming, so knowledgeable and friendly, couldn’t fault him. Loved one of the properties we looked at, lovely layout for that family style living.
Hi Georgia, We're so pleased to hear you had a welcoming and informative viewing experience. We appreciate your positive feedback on the property's layout. Kind Regards, Marcus Linden Homes

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

TrustpilotIgnoring Customers Over Structural Defects
We purchased Plot at the Hatters Chase, Sandymoor development. We were recently informed of structural defects (after 3yrs) in our property, that require us to vacate our home for 6 weeks or more, so remedial works can commence.

We’re sorry to hear about the distress this situation has caused and understand how concerning it is to be facing uncertainty regarding your home. We note that you have also written to our Executive Office, and you can expect further correspondence within 10 working days.

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.

Rhodri at Blue Birch Fields was very friendly and went out of his way taking the time to discuss our options and showing us around a couple of properties. He has been knowledgeable and professional throughout and at no time made us feel pressured. A pleasure to deal with.

Trustpilot14 June 2024
On the 13th of June 2024, I visited Meadow Heights. I had reserved my plot with a deposit back in April and paid £3,038 in May for my flooring. Despite being initially told I could move in on the 3rd of April, then the 28th of May, the date was pushed back to the 28th of June. Upon inspection, I found numerous defects in the house. There were cracks in the walls of all the rooms, water damage under the kitchen unit, and the window cill badly damaged by decorators. The finish in my kitchen was inconsistent, and all the doors seemed out of place. The surrounding area of the house had a great big drop, making it unsafe, especially for children, as noted by the surveyor. Despite promises from the saleswoman, Sonia, that fencing would be put up around the boundary lines to prevent people from walking onto the property, I was informed on the 13th of June 2024 that no fencing would be installed. My sister asked her on one of our visits to the property what's going to be around the boundary lines , where the gully, Sonia the sales woman state " it would be fencing around" which was a lie. Because she tells me that the contractor not going to put a fence around, so lie and untrustworthy. All changing because I am pointing out several issues with the property, they are trying to making to difficult so I change my mine about the property. Imagine buying a newly built , not live in there as yet and the developers not wanting to fix the defects and carry out all the work in the property. Imagine when I live in the property and there is problem, can you imagine how these untrustworthy and difficult they are going to be to fix defects and problems.There were massive manholes at the side entrance, unsecured, and a deep pothole next to one of them. The construction director who visited the property with me highlighted these safety issues that needed to be rectified before completion. The garden was in a rough state due to how the topsoil was laid, leaving it purely muddy. The fencing around the garden was poorly done, showing a lack of common sense in landscaping. The inspection chamber was not level with the ground. I highly recommend all potential house buyers to conduct an extensive private snagging report, as it proved to be very useful in my case. The report highlighted inconsistencies in the finish in various areas of the house, such as the hallway, lounge, stairs, and landing and the lists continues..... Unfortunately, I was unable to upload pictures to show the issues. The house is far from being finished, and it seems that the saleswoman for Meadow Heights in Batley is rushing to complete the job to meet her sales target. I strongly advise against buying from this developer, as they have proven to be a waste of time. They may talk nicely and make promises when they want your money, but once they have it, it's a different story. Even mortgage companies are hesitant to provide mortgages for Linden Homes. The detached house located at the rear entrance of the plot is a significant investment at £310,000. Although the new house was intended to provide a wonderful and cozy feeling of home, it has unfortunately resulted in nothing but frustration, anger, anxiety, stress, and various issues. The process of purchasing the house was swift when it came to taking your money, but when faced with problems, the attitude of the individuals involved changed drastically. The sales representative was eager to finalize the sale by the 28th of June 2024, yet did not show the same level of urgency in addressing all the existing problems. It is important to note that I am aware of breaching the contract, and I am well within my rights as outlined in the agreement. Linden Homes will be required to reimburse me for the reservation fee and the £3,038 spent on flooring. Because they are the one breaches their contract. My advice to anyone who thinking buying a house from Linden homes, think twice and ask yourself this question is it worthwhile all the hassle, poorly built quality and rushing to meet sales target 🎯.

TrustpilotOur new home
We recently bought our new house from Linden homes. This is a retirement home for us and we would like to share our experience with you. The negatives.We were not too impressed by the build quality as we have had more than our fair share of problems since we moved in, the standard of some of the interior work left a lot to be desired. Problems aside from the expected snaggings that come with buying a new build. At this point we would have been looking at a two star review. The positives. We have now been in for nine months and thankfully all the problems we have reported thus far have been dealt with in a timely manner.Rachael, Andy and Hannah in the Sales team were particularly helpful and supportive with issues we encountered along the way.Everyone we have had dealings with on site have been helpful and good to deal with.Thank you to Tracey and the customer care team in the office answering the phones, dealing with our requests and responding to emails promptly.Fiona is particularly instrumental in overseeing the work which needed doing. She is very keen to let us know how things are progressing which we really appreciate.The Customer Care team and others who have visited to carry out remedial work have also been good and see that issues are resolved.
