Longford 4 bed review North East England

We bought a Longford (4 bed, 2 bathroom) in March 2021 which was completed 3 months behind schedule in Nov 2021+ reasonable for 219k at time of purchase+ used NHS Key Worker scheme to get upgraded kitchen worktops - property riddled with issues which, when reported to the "Portal" online, becomes clear they're really common for Gleeson houses e.g. Damaged turf, chipped doors, leaking bath, missing fence - moved in 9 months ago and still have serious defects not resolved as Gleeson prioritise new developments and have left half our estate with broken patio doors and damaged turf - poor staff retention rate meant we went through 3 sales representatives, 3 site managers and now onto our fourth customer service representative who is "on a call" every time we try to contact her Conclusion: Gleeson delete all Facebook comments made about our development (Windermere Green) to prospective buyers so please, don't believe their argument that "it was just one site...it depends on the site manager". All neighbouring Gleeson developments to us have reported similar issues, please pay for a professional snagger if it's too late and you've reserved or bought.

I moved into my new Gleeson home 8…

I moved into my new Gleeson home 8 weeks ago and I am very delighted with everything. We have had a few small snags which have been dealt with very professionally and very quickly. All the staff are very friendly, helpful and nothing is a problem for them. I can definitely recommend Gleeson Homes after my experience.

Reasonable priced house

Reasonable priced house, very little amount of snags (which shocked me as I worked in customer care for electrical contractors of new builds and saw many builders had loads). Any little issue we’ve had was sorted in a reasonable time too. My only regret is not getting a 4 bed instead!

AVOID GLEESON HOMES

Buying your first home should be a highlight of your life. Gleeson sold us a dream but once they got their money they hardly respond, promises that were made when reservering our plot got twisted and backtracked. Costumer care is just pointless! It’s take 3 weeks to get a response and months to solve an issue. The reviews on Trustpilot are definitely accurate! We do NOT recommend Gleeson homes to anyone.

I purchased a new build on the Middlestone Meadows

I purchased a new build on the Middlestone Meadows site in January this year.I have found the staff, from sales executive to site manager and site workers extremely helpful, professional and friendly.The few snags which have occurred have been repaired very quickly and professionally. I would definitely recommend buying from Gleeson on this development.

As a previous Employee I urge anyone interested in purchasing a Gleeson Property to stay well clear, the houses are rushed through and are of an appalling standard, all they are interested in is the money and not the customer experience, the senior management is full of bullys with no regard for anyone !!! STAY WELL CLEAR

Don’t buy one

Don’t buy one! Contacted customer services at least five times and no reply whatsoever. Also they ban you from commenting on Facebook if you make any comments that are negative. Every comment I have ever made has been honest and true. Absolutely disgusting service. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Don’t Buy From Gleeson

Gleesons are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard, they was ment to come out and fix our french doors as they would not lock, site manager had sent some and they have now made it even worse but gleesons think not being able to lock your doors is okay, they are an absolute joke

No Building regulation sign off, poor groundwork

Do not purchase a home from this developer. We lived on a Gleesons estate for almost five years. After our home being delayed for 6 months we moved in. We thought everything was fine until I decided to lay artificial grass due to their turf being sub standard and a mess. Garden sloped left to right by almost 60 cm. Front grass relaid twice as it sunk and died. The worse was still to come. When we came to sell our property we found out that Gleesons had not got building regulations sign off from the council for our home. When the council came out to check the home the refused us a certificate as there was no path Connecting the property to the pavement. It took Gleesons 4 weeks to put in the 4 flags required for sign off and even then it had to be redone. We found out from Rochdale council that there this is not an isolated case and that they were aware of numerous properties that didn’t have building regs sign off. I think it is disgusting that a malpractice like this can happen and unsuspecting buyers may not find out about this line us through until they sell their property. I contacted Gleesons after I moved and all they offered was an apology. I am now in the process of talking to trading standards and citizens advice to see where I go with this next. Please think carefully about purchasing from Gleesons and if you do please check all documentation. Although our property hadn’t been signed off we still had an NHBC warranty.and I simply want to educate prospective buyers about this practice so this doesn’t happen to them.

slow to rectify issues, roads left unfinished

been in our house around 3 months, still waiting for our drive to be finished with final layer of tarmac as currently cannot get car onto the drive due to the size of the kerbs! have been told that nothing can be done til the council adopt the roads and paths. roads are also in poor condition with pot holes, raised ironworks and most of the kerb stones broken. just glad we didn't pay a lot!

We love our Gleeson home

We love our Gleeson home! Been in 6 months and if it wasn't for Gleesons offering such a good value houses we wouldn't be living together! All our reported "snags" have been sorted quickly and the customer service from start to finish has been always amazing! Would always recommend Gleeson to friends and family!

Outside tap

Had an issue with my outside tap, reported it after only living in the house 2 weeks, cancelled it cause it started working, reported it again in Dec, defect declined saying its weather related. Since found out many people on the estate had same issues, therefore not weather related and an actual issue with the tap. Been living in my house 6 months, biggest mistake of my life buying a gleeson home

Still waiting for the house to be finished 22 months after moving in!

Well, we've now been in our house for 22 months and Gleeson STILL haven't completed the work! The rest of the estate has been completed but we have not had our driveway done. Gleeson promise month after month that it WILL be done, yet here we are still waiting. Worse experience we've ever had. If I had £1 for every apology they offer, I could pay my mortgage off.

Take your hard earned money elsewhere! This company does not care. Don’t purchase a gleeson homes unless you want hell on earth.

Do not ever buy a house from gleeson homes! Take your hard earned money elsewhere. They are an absolutely disgusting company to deal with, they always deflect blame onto the customers rather than admitting liability themselves.We have had blocked toilets for 7 months BECAUSE OUR PIPES WERE FILLED WITH EXPANDING FOAM! It took them 7 months of over flowing toilets, a huge leak on Boxing Day, my cat sick and admitted to the vets for them to actually discover they had filled our pipes.I made a complaint and the response I got was that it happened because too many people were involved... too many people were involved because nobody in this company responds to you so you take things further. I had the blocked toilets logged for over a month the last time until someone actually did anything and still then they did nothing. They left us over the whole Christmas period unable to use our upstairs facilities!!! We could use the downstairs toilet and all this while we have a young baby in the house.I’m currently contacting all local papers and radio stations to make them aware and others aware of this awful company.

Prizes for positive reviews

Did plot 2 birch green get another freebie gift for their positive reviews? Worst company we have ever dealt with. Non responsive and still have issues. AVOID AVOID AVOIDAlso it's not freehold it's fleecehold. Your house WILL be passed to an estate management company and their fees are unregulated and uncapped so BEWARE. All these "brand ambassadors" getting freebies for positive content how about look after ALL your buyers equally
