TrustpilotWhittingham Fold
We looked at a lot of houses when planning to relocate to the area. We kept coming back to Elan homes at Whittingham Fold because it was a lovely small estate with well proportioned houses. However the main reason we chose to buy here is due to the excellent service from Tracy. She was helpful without being pushy and we genuinely felt like she was invested and interested in us as customers. We have never bought a brand new house before, but Tracy has made the experience as painless as possible!

TrustpilotExcellent service
We (myself, my wife & our son) had a house viewing appointment with Shirley at Greenside View. She's very warmly, cheerful and her customer service was per excellent, far more than our expectations and it was so sad that we could not find the type of a house that we wanted. However, Shirley still go ahead and refereed us to their other site in Swinton. Thanks to Shirley as she made our day worthwhile!

TrustpilotQuick to take your money.
The way Elan homes operates is quite remarkable. You report a problem to customer services (external doors not fitting and needing replacement), they send someone round, in our case multiple times, acknowledge the issue and confirm they will address the problem then nothing happens. You then follow up with more emails to customer services, receive a response offering apologies and various reasons for the delay, and the cycle continues. We have been waiting since last spring. Following on from your response dated 26/3/24: It was very unfortunate that it had been necessary to initiate county court proceedings against Elan Homes prior to said action being taken.

We're sorry to read that you feel this way about your experience.
We take all customer feedback seriously and are disappointed that you remain dissatisfied. Throughout your aftercare journey, we have investigated each issue you have raised and assessed them in accordance with the relevant NHBC guidance, manufacturers' recommendations, and industry standards. Where remedial works have been identified as necessary, these have been progressed, and where items have been found to meet the applicable standards, we have explained the reasons for our decisions.
We appreciate that this may not always be the outcome a homeowner hopes for, but our approach is to ensure every reported item is reviewed fairly and consistently against the appropriate technical guidance.
We do not recognise the suggestion that our Customer Care Team has acted in the manner described or that any issues have been handled inappropriately. Our aim has always been to work constructively with you to address your concerns and provide clear explanations throughout the process.
We remain committed to delivering a positive experience for our homeowners and, should there be any new issues that fall within our obligations, we will continue to review them in line with the relevant guidance and standards.

TrustpilotZero Stars: Disastrous Experience with Elan Homes
If I could give zero, I would have given zero. Elan homes customer care is the worse ever. Do not trust Elan Home. They are lightning fast at taking your hard-earned money, but their after sale service is an absolute joke. My experience with Elan Homes has been nothing short of a nightmare. Not only did they fail to leave enough space and gap for my dishwasher socket and appliance, but their dismissive attitude towards the safety and security concerns raised is absolutely appalling. Despite the clear evidence of friction between the socket and the machine, Elan Homes seems to believe that their drawing showing the designated socket location absolves them of any responsibility.It is absurd to claim that the placement of the socket is fixed according to their drawing, while completely ignoring the fact that standard-sized integrated appliances require a certain amount of space to function properly. As someone who has purchased new builds in the past, I am utterly disappointed by the lack of foresight and accountability demonstrated by Elan Homes.To exacerbate the situation, I have raised a complaint and am currently waiting for a resolution. However, in the meantime, my kitchen is in disarray, my dishwasher cannot be used as it's integrated into this specific point, and the safety concern remains heightened, especially with kids in the house.Since moving into my home in March 2023, I have encountered numerous issues with Elan Homes, many of which remain unresolved to this day. Despite bringing these concerns to their attention, including the ongoing issue with my back garden, I have been met with delay after delay and have yet to see any satisfactory resolution. Save yourself the headache and avoid Elan Homes at all costs. Their negligence and refusal to address legitimate concerns make them unworthy of anyone's trust or investment.

Hi Sira Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, although we regret that your experience with us has been less than satisfactory.We understand your frustration regarding the functionality of your dishwasher and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Upon reviewing your concerns, we found that the necessary space and electrical socket for your dishwasher were provided as per the specifications outlined in your working drawings, which you had signed off on. However, we acknowledge that there may be an issue with the positioning of the socket impacting the functionality of your dishwasher.While we sympathise with the inconvenience you're facing, it's important to clarify that the challenge you're encountering does not result from any defect on our part. Integrated dishwashers, though not standardised in size, typically adhere to a general range of measurements. Whereby planning and consideration of measurements are crucial to ensure seamless integration into your kitchen space.It is surprising that this concern was not raised by your installer during the installation process, especially considering the thorough safety assessments and compliance checks conducted prior to the handover of your home. These assessments ensure that all electrical components, including sockets, meet regulatory standards for safety and functionality.Regarding any unresolved issues, we have records indicating that you signed off on items raised during your initial 7-day appointment as completed on June 22, 2023. However, we are committed to addressing any ongoing concerns you may have and encourage you to contact your dedicated customer care coordinator for further assistance.

TrustpilotIf I could give zero stars I would
If I could give zero stars I would. Elan homes seems to be helpful until they receive your money. Having moved into our home in July 2023 we still have outstanding snags which need sorting. Quickly after moving in it became apparent that our garage was flooding during rainfall. Elan told us that it would be investigated but to stop further flooding we would be fitted a rubber strip as a temporary measure.Forward 7 months and we have chased this up numerous times as the rubber strip is still allowing water in and now been told that the only thing they can do is re fit the ‘temporary’ rubber strip correctly as per guidelines as it wasn’t fitted correctly. We have never had anyone come out to inspect the garage to see what could be causing the issue so how they can fob us off is beyond me! Absolutely shocking after spending so much money! I would also like to add that god help anyone who is moving into one of elans houses as they seem to use incompetent tradesmen who just cause more problems when coming to ‘fix’ reported snags. Also good luck trying to get a response from anyone at customer care as I am still awaiting a response from over a week ago !!!

TrustpilotBought a house in Redwood Boulevard in…
Bought a house in Redwood Boulevard in Blackpool. The finish of the house is poor. Doors warped and catches that look like a 5 year old has had a go. Parts missing in the kitchen and missing tiling in the bathroom. Our canopy over our front door doesn't fit the wall correctly and our front door leaks water. Rear patio doors don't lock and are insecure. I have complained and brought to the attention all these issues with site and customer services. Nothing, no dates to rectify any of this. What could have been a lovely house has been let down by what I can only describe as cowboy trade people. A blind person could fit some of the fittings better than Elan have done. I'm now coming to the conclusion that they will never rectify these issues and we will end up in the small claims court or county court to try resolve this. That's after I finish hitting my head off my unfinished brick wall.

TrustpilotCowboy Builders - Would advise to stay well away!
To summarise, it’s builders like Elan that give other builders a bad reputation. Moved into our property in July last year and it’s been a full-time job ever since to even get a response on the problems/snags.We still don’t have a functioning front door seven months in (they’re also aware that this is a security issue as we have a newborn baby), they haven’t touched the sides of our snags that we issued the first week of moving in, we had the wrong kitchen layout built, damaged flooring, a full garden of weeds on arrival, next doors down pipes into our garden (not stipulated on any drawings), the windows incomplete and have trickle vents that allow air in/out of the property, our boundary has been compromised with the fencing layout and the overall finish and quality is well below industry standard, never mind a company that claims to provide a premium product. The customer care team have been none-existent so I’d appreciate it if they didn’t respond to this review with a generic response to save face. We’ve tried this approach already to no avail! I could go on further as the list is endless, I would give 0 stars if I was able to. I’m also not the only one on the development to encounter these problems.

TrustpilotRoof damage
I bought a new build property from Elan this year and unfortunately in the recent windy weather, two ridge tiles were blown off the roof leaving a hole. Being ridge tiles, these should be fixed in place with cement and so shouldn't simply get blown off, particularly being so new. Elan are refusing to take responsibility and trying to force me to claim on my home insurance. This has been such a shame and disappointment to what have thusfar been very nice homes.

Bought our new house as our forever home. Workmanship on the property is appalling, already had a leak in the roof. The floors are uneven, and the plumbing is poor, with a low water pressure. As for the the garden has been built on rubbish. There are very few amenities close by, apart from Willaston village about a mile away. We were promised there would be a school and a doctors close by. Instead we have had to register with a surgery that can not cope with the influx of resident's, which is not fit for purpose.
