First time buyer experience with Peabody

I cannot fault the service I have received from Peabody, as a first time buyer they have made this process extremely smooth.I cannot thank Kirstie enough for her amazing communication and hard work on chasing the relevant people. I have just exchanged on my first home and I feel like I wouldn’t have reached this stage so quickly if it hadn’t been for Kirstie’s help and hard work! Highly recommend to any of my other first time buyer friends or family members to go via Peabody in future. Amazing communication, no question too silly to ask, made me feel completely at ease, thank you Kirstie for being amazing!

Deken 10/10

I am truly grateful for the exceptional assistance provided by Deken Saunders during the process of purchasing my first home. His unwavering support and guidance were invaluable, especially considering the challenges and stress that often accompany the journey of a first-time buyer. Deken's expertise and commitment made the entire experience not only manageable but also enjoyable. I couldn't be more pleased with the level of professionalism and care he demonstrated throughout the process. Deken Saunders is undoubtedly a standout sales executive.

I've teamed up with Emerson Souza twice in the same scheme, and I couldn't be happier with his work. Emerson's professionalism and client-focused approach really stood out. He went the extra mile to make those sales happen, keeping communication on point and ensuring we met all our deadlines.Emerson is not just a reliable pro but also a friendly face in the process. I'd jump at the chance to work with him again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends hunting for a property. His knowledge and knack for putting clients first make him a real gem. Big thanks, Emerson!

New Mansion Square - Marie great, Tracey bad

Recently purchased a flat at New Mansion Square and Marie was very polite, helpful and attentive whenever we had any questions. Naturally when you are part of a chain, moving homes is not always smooth. Tracey on the other hand was quite rude and was not nice to deal with at all. She was only interested in getting the information she needed out of us and never responded when we had questions for her. She was the only thing that soured our experience with Peabody.

Ts · 21 October 2023

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hi Ts, Great to hear about the purchase at New Mansion Square. As you say, moving is not always smooth and we understand our Sales Team held this property for you during a delay. Tracey is an experienced member of our team, who has helped many buyers and in the process received numerous 5 star reviews. We’re sorry to see this didn’t happen in this instance, but hope you saw that we work hard to overcome challenges and support buyers.

I have just completed on my new home at Honeybrooke, Stoke Hammond. The whole experience has been an absolute pleasure even through the stressful parts. The communication I received was first class. Charli Parsons, was on hand every step of the way to answer any questions I had, no matter how small or silly. I would highly recommend Peabody especially Charli and Gabriella. I can’t wait to start to enjoy my new home.

A big thank you to Ilona Barkane

A big thank you to Ilona Barkane - Peabody - her service delivery and customer care was the best we’ve encountered in any environment. She was constantly available and often with little warning; to allow us to view the flat on numerous occasions and provided valuable assistance and advice on all frontiers relating to our purchase. Without her relaying info to her corporate body and their solicitors, we would not have had such a smooth transition from viewing to sale in a such a short period. Words do not do her services justice and she is a credit to Peabody and the quality home they have provided with all the bells and whistles included. We are most grateful to finally be in our new home.Best wishes Clinton and Annilene

Tracey Harvey worst sales person ever

Tracey Harvey has been one of the most unpleasant people I ever dealt with, extremely rude, very bad attitude. She has a judgmental approach with absolutely no basis regarding my financial situation also considering that she had no clue what "dividends" means so that says a lot. This has caused me to do not pursue any further interest in the development as the process has been very unpleasant including being hanged up on during a call. DO NOT RECCOMEND!!!

Salvatore · 14 September 2023

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hi Salvatore, we are sorry to see your feedback. We have looked into this matter further and understand that Tracey was explaining the process of buying through Shared Ownership, which includes completing a financial assessment to ensure homes are affordable for you with our partner Censeo Financial, who are Shared Ownership mortgage specialists. However we understand that you did not want to complete an affordability assessment and as such we are not able to progress with your enquiry for buying a Shared Ownership home as this forms part of the process. If you would like to discuss your enquiry further, you can speak to a member of our team on 020 7021 4842. Thank you.

First-time homebuyers

As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Peabody Housing Association for the purchase of our new home. The entire purchase process was exceptionally smooth and stress-free, and we cannot express our gratitude enough to the remarkable support provided by Tracey throughout the journey.One of the standout qualities of our experience with Peabody was the personalized and attentive service we received. Tracey went above and beyond to address our queries, clarify any doubts, and ensure we were well-informed at every stage of the purchase. Her prompt responses to our emails and phone calls were truly commendable and demonstrated her dedication to customer satisfaction.With Tracey's invaluable guidance and the seamless purchase process, we are now proud homeowners of a beautiful property. The experience has left us with a positive impression of Peabody Housing Association, and we genuinely look forward to a fruitful and cooperative relationship while living in our new home.

Kirstie - Sales - New Home

I can’t thank Kirstie enough for the first class service she has delivered me. As I was buying my first home and had no prior knowledge of the process - I felt quite overwhelmed. Kirstie really eased my mind, and made a stressful process as easy as it could be. She is personable and reachable about any queries, and does her best to speed up the process. Thank you for your help Kirstie, I love my new home and know that anyone buying with Peabody, in the future, will be lucky to have you as their Sales go to! I am yet to deal with anyone else from Peabody, but hope they are as on the ball as her!

Happy Home Owners :)

Massive thank you to Kirstie at the Lanes who has been an absolute star throughout our whole house buying journey. We had a range of personal hurdles along the way and Kirstie was always available to advise and was very proactive when things needed following up or just simply providing information and reassurance. We’d also like to also thank Kirstie and the rest of the team for the transparency throughout this whole process. At no point did we ever felt led on or as though we were being given contradicting information. Everything from booking a house viewing to physically moving has been straightforward and we are now settled into our beautiful house which already feels like home! Thank you also to Joseph who was very present with our initial application! Both you and Kirstie have continued to show kindness and support throughout and even after we have moved. I would 100% recommend buying a house at the Lanes. Gina and Richard

Newman place

I've recently moved in to my new home at Newman place development and I was dealing with both Charli and Gabriella on a regular basis. The whole purchase process was very smooth and easy, very clear and regular communications with both ladies meant I was kept up to date at all times. Both were super friendly and very professional and patient with any questions I've had. My house was done to a high standard and any minors issues are fixed in a timely manner. I'd highly recommend Peabody new homes.

A superior affordable property!

1.) Our contacts with Catalyst, and later Peabody New Homes, was through Charli Parsons and Gabriella M'Rabet. We award XXXXX to each for expertise, helpfulness, unfailing courtesy, and, in our case, service beyond the call of duty. They had to help us navigate the intricacies of officially gifting a sum of money to our disabled son's to purchase a share in the wheelchair accessible property he is moving into. 2.) We would love to award 5*s for the property itself, as it is beautiful, in an ideal setting, of high specification, and affordable. However, as accommodation for a wheelchair user, it lacks some insight. Access is perfect, all level inside, door widths are fine. However:a.) Most wheelchair users need a wet floor shower room, and low level washbasins. Before our son can move in, the perfect, beautiful bathroom will have to be destroyed and another one constructed. Huge expense for us and/or Oxford City Council. What a waste of resources and time!b. If he was able to cook for himself, as wheelchair users with normal hand function can, the kitchen would also need to be rebuilt; worktops/hob are at normal height.c. A small kitchen and larger living space would be much more wheelchair friendly, for ease of movement around and between furniture in a wheelchair. The kitchen is big enough for cooking for a large family!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Emerson and feel extremely lucky.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Peabody when buying my new apartment. Emerson was dealing with my case and even though there was some hiccups due to our solicitors, he was always there, night and day. Very approachable and helpful and went above and beyond to get us over the line as soon as possible, even when we thought this might not go through, he was reassuring all along the way. Feel very lucky to have someone like Emerson dealing with the process.

Journey to my new home!

The journey to buying a home can be daunting and overwhelming, with new things coming up everyday. A rollercoaster to say the least, but Kirstie @The Lanes has been amazing. She has been consistent with her accessibility, timeliness, fairness, honesty and support. She has answered all the questions I have had, checked in and been very patient with me throughout the whole process. It has lessened a lot of worry and anxiety. You want someone personable when you are making one of the biggest decisions in your life. Kirstie has also been good with making sure that the moments of progress have been celebrated which I am very grateful for. The process has been informative, the timelines known have been shared when I have asked, and I have been able to see the showroom and spend time measuring to get rough ideas for things. I am so happy to have been able to reserve my first new home! Thankyou Kirstie!
