Horrible experience!

Had a horrible time buying a house through Crest. Crest where very helpful and happy to help until you give them your money. Our initial snagging list was ignored and it literally took them 2 plus years to sort it out.After living in the house for 3 years we started to notice a damp patch. We suspected it was a leak so got a plumber to come around to investigate. He found that there wasn't a leak l, the issue was because Crest had installed our water pipes in the wall and plastered directly over over them. The water regulations say that you are supposed to have either a chase or duct on these pipes so they can be removed but they don't. They have also not been lagged so they condensate and as they have been directly plastered over this is making my walk damp and mouldy.I have repeatedly said that they have not followed regulations and literally quoted the regulations that they have ignored but they refuse to accept they have done anything wrong in fact they are insulting and rude.I really feel like I should report this on here so people can be weary before parting with Thier hard earned cash. Personally I would neither recommend them nor ever buy from them againUpdating on the 28/3/24 No one has tried to contact me to try and help me. They just say they are un able to assist me. I will be going to trading standards!One other thing I wanted to point out. Although their star rating is 4.1 out of 5 I just wanted to highlight that as of this date 26% of the customers have given a rating of 1 star. It doesn't look good that 26 people out of 100 have had a horrendous experience. My personal view is 1 star is too good!

Albany Wood Bishops Waltham

Steve Smith based at Albany Wood has helped me through , what could have been a daunting process of purchasing a new home. I’m looking forward to moving in as soon as possible. The development seems to be a really cared for site . Lovely green areas. Trees etc. The houses are gorgeous. Really stylish , warm , with appliances built in. Lovely carpets and flooring throughout . The garden is a great size. Ready for summer !

Review is for the interaction with Sales - No purchase made

Review is for the interaction with Sales executives and I appreciate the effort even though we could not strike a deal due to other factors... Jay was very knowledgable and helpful. I recommend his professionalism and enthusiasm. Keep up the good work...

Purchased one of their homes in April 2022 and had some snags, at first they did some of the corrections but since then very few. We currently have the ensuite in bits as they couldn't line up the tray and tiles without messing this up. Still waiting for this to be fixed, Our kitchen carcass overall is very poor. The plinth is too tight can't get it off easily to access the filter on the washing machine. The base units and doors are all tight rubbing against each other. The stone worktop itself is unlevel with packers jammed in it. Our roof flashing has still not been resolved after 3 three trades have looked at this. We have an email list of other minor things. They don't reply to emails or answer the phone and when they do they fob you off. It's a terrible housing firm to buy from and you can see why they have lost 70% of profits and the CEO has stepped down. Sort your customer service out/quality of the interior and you may be able to recover.Update 10th Feb - we are still chasing this useless firm. Do not buy one of their homes.

Nine Acres

We reserved our house at the Nine Acres site in Tiptree just a few weeks ago. Carol has been fantastic at making the process as easy and straightforward as possible so far, with everything explained so well. We are so excited to see our completed house in hopefully just a couple of months time!

Becky

Becky, Hazel, Amy and Lauren were all extremely helpful and supportive through the stages of me and my partner reserving our first home on the First Homes scheme. Nothing but positive things to say about our experience with them so far. Becky has made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable in every meeting we have had with her to discuss our future home. We’re very grateful for her patience and enthusiasm and ability to make our nerves and questions feel valid!

Blythe Valley development 21 and 22 JAN 2024

I attended Blythe Valley development on two occasions this week. The sale representative was knowledgeable and helpful. For a young person she was very patient and recognised the challenges one has when trying to find a new home. I was impressed with the attention to detail, the health and safety adopted on site, the politeness of the building team, the professionalism of all of the staff on site and the choice of properties, their spaciousness , innovative designs etc the back gardens were small but there were garages for each house I saw

DO NOT BUY WITH CREST. Don’t make my mistake

I cannot write a negative enough review to explain how awful Crest Nicholson are, and how awful my experience with them has been. They are daylight robbers who take your money and deliver faulty poor quality houses. The amount of stress they have caused me and my family is disgusting and I have no idea how an organisation run like this is still in business. I have been in my house for 20 months now, have had to move out in several occasions due to the severity of issues my house has, and I still have NUMEROUS issues outstanding. Customer service ignore you, lie to you and simply DO NOT CARE. As soon as they take your money you will be lucky to hear from them again. Amongst a long long list of issues my whole ground floor is WONKY and out of NHBC tolerance and after 20 months I am still chasing to a resolution on deaf ears. The amount of time, effort and stress crest has caused me is devastating and at this point I am close to completely giving up. I cannot advise enough to stay away from crest. I have brought with new builds before and never experienced such atrocious customer service.I have been in tears on several occasions as a result of crests customer service, as getting anything actioned is like pulling blood from a stone. I have even emailed the managing director on many occasions who hasn’t helped. I don’t know what to do as I have tried everything! I am at my wits end!To put in to perspective how bad my floor is…. My cocktail trolley rolls in to the middle of the room it’s so sloped!! My table and chairs don’t sit with all 4 legs on the floor as it’s all different levels!

It made us even more excited to buy a house with Crest Nicholson! Sam has also been very helpful and friendly during the process and has supported us every step of the way.
