TrustpilotJacqui Spicer from Hopkins Homes
Jacqui Spicer from Hopkins Homes, Weavers Tye. We bought our house in November and received an excellent service. Jacqui was friendly, polite and very professional in her job. We were always kept up to date with everything and received a prompt reply to any questions.

TrustpilotNew Build Mill Grove Stowmarket
Recently moved into new build on Mill Grove Stowmarket. House is amazingly good, finished to a very high standard, incredibly comfortable and immaculately clean and tidy on handover.Timescales were difficult to accurately plan around but ultimately worth the wait.

TrustpilotKingley Grove, Melbourn
Just bought our home at Kingley Grove from Hopkins homes and are very happy with it, especially the build quality which is not only solid but also has a classic feel to it. Right from the time of reservation until now, Jo Chapman from the sales office has been extremely helpful and attentive to our requirements and concerns. Jo and the maintenance team (Adam and Stuart) have been dropping by time and again, to check if we were settling well and help us whenever required. Overall, highly recommend, if one likes the perks of a new build yet traditional looking home and the aftercare provided.

Was very impressed with Josh Raven from Hopkins homes. Everything was made clear and we spent nearly a whole day picking our carpets tiles etc and he did not rush us. We can't wait to move into our dream home.Thankyou Josh for your help so far.

From reservation to completion Shaun was always at the end of the phone or email if I had any questions no matter how small or silly. Valued that tremendously and made the process a lot smoother than it could have been. Thanks Shaun.

TrustpilotGood houses, excellent staff
Our favourable impression of Hopkins Homes at the Melbourn Development started with Jo, at the Sales Office there. She was immediately friendly and helpful and, having chosen our house and embarked on the purchase, we realised how efficient and knowledgeable she was. She couldn't have done more to smooth the process for us. The houses are finished to a high standard and, compared to previous experience with other builders, we had relatively few snagging issues. Those that did occur were usually promptly resolved by Adam, the Site Manager, who was also a pleasure to work with.In some ways we were relieved we had sold our previous house and had had to take up rented accommodation prior to completion as the build programme with Hopkins is 9 months, which must be more difficult for anyone hoping to sell and move on the same date.All in all, we are very happy we found Kingley Grove in the pretty village of Melbourn and have been able to settle in so quickly over the last few months.

TrustpilotCoach house Heronsgate
Moved into our Coach house on the Heronsgate development in October and have been delighted with it. Katherine was so supportive from day 1 and nothing was too much trouble. Alex continued the support once we were in so no complaints about anything.

TrustpilotQuality & confidence in the product ..
From first walking into the sales office several weeks ago at Millers Gate, Soham my experience with Hopkins Homes has been a pleasure. The ease and helpfulness of the sales representative, Brandon, has been consistently excellent. Full credit for having a enthusiastic knowledgeable person with a sense of humour and willingness to go the extra mile. I’m due to move in late January so hearing the progress updates confidence inspiring. Good job Brandon, thank you for all you’re help.

TrustpilotHouse Purchase
I have been trying to purchase a Hopkins Home for sometime and when I first went to River Reach development and met Clare I found her to be most helpful from the beginning of the process right through to the moving day. We spent time choosing the kitchen cabinets floor covering ect and nothing was too much trouble and found her advice very helpful. Even after moving in we have kept in touch to make sure everything was satisfactory and it has been. Thank you.

Richard in Hunstanton has been really helpful and is very knowledgeable. At each visit we have been given plenty of time to look at the show home, the site and to ask questions. We can't wait to move in!

TrustpilotI'd buy another one if I had the money.
We really love our Hopkins Home in Needham Market. The spec is great and the design of the development has clearly taken in elements of the surrounding areas. It's so pretty and peaceful here. From the first phone call to the present day, nothing has been too much trouble and any minor issues have been dealt with very quickly and professionally. The site teams are considerate at all times and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend HH. Any reservations I had about buying a new build are a distant memory.

TrustpilotZero customer service/aftercare!.
After moving into my brand new Hopkins home in Nov 2021 I was initially delighted. Penny and Katie from the sales team were great. However, very soon the rose tinted specs came off and upon having a few reasons to contact customer service, regarding a few 'issues' in the house, it quickly became apparent that there was ZERO customer service aftercare. I am suffering from serious water flooding in my garden. I paid nearly £1200 to Hopkins to lay turf, but it was laid very badly, over the existing rubbish left behind after the build and without any drainage or rotivation of the soil. Unfortunately this has led to the clay soil underneath compacting and water just collecting and pooling on the surface of the lawn, even 6 months later. I planted 40 Laurel trees all 7ft high, 15 of which are now dead all along the rear boundary where drainage was meant to be. Hopkins are not interested even despite admitting that the landowner who sold the sold was liable to install a drain at the rear of my garden which he has not done, and appears to have no interest to do. I am now in the care of Holly, PA to the land director! I am getting nowhere!! In frustration, I am now having to sue Hopkins myself as my garden is constantly flooded and always will be as there needs to be drainage or a soakaway in my garden. Basically they are not interested, and blame the landowner, so I would be aware if you are buying to read reviews and research carefully. The houses look lovely, and inside mine is. However, the estate I live on has like other reviewers mention, 'wildflower areas' that are full of weeds and discarded toys that people have just abandoned there, and a general lack of care that is not reflected in the quite high price we pay for our annual maintenance of the estate grounds. Finally though, the tarmac on the roads is complete. I believe residents have been living through that nightmare for the last 3 years!.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Hopkins Homes. We are delighted that you love your new home, as much as we do. Wishing you all the best for move in day and beyond.

TrustpilotFive years and still waiting for Hopkins to resolve the problem
5 years after moving in to my new build in Framlingham and I am still waiting for them to resolve the exterior render issue. Year One the areas where peeling paintwork was an issue was corrected. It lasted 3 months. Year Two Hopkins Homes subcontracted the work to a 3rd party who managed to seriously damage large areas of render. Year Three - they couldn't correct the exterior issues due to "Covid" - although they did correct some small interior snagging without Covid being a problem. Year Four - In spite of my phoning/emailing at least once a week they used every excuse and blamed the original render Company (who they'd reappointed to do the work) for their failure to attend the property. Year Five - Promised it would be done end of April. Beginning of April I contacted them for a date, and I am still waiting. It is obvious to me the original Contractor they've 'engaged' to do the work, doesn't want to do it. I am in contact with Customer Care on an almost daily basis and we are no further forward than we were at the beginning of April. It is simply repeating the pattern of year four where the work wasn't done. Sadly, whilst the homes look nice, if you have a problem then they simply don't want to know, or are unable to resolve it. Hugely disappointed. I would not recommend them

How can our government allow a company to con so many home buyers and get away with is £1,000 deposit when they know that its never going to work it's total deception and people really must start to understand in all there excitement that there hard earned money 💰 is just going to be taken away and its legal because they have been tricked into handling it over and signing there CONTRACT its the word CON please don't be fooled into there rubbish homes there always others to buy good luck to every one that walks away from them

Trustpilotjust avoid, it's that simple, houses look nice but hide massive issues
I could go in to details about how they don't understand data protection rules or consumer rights, had aspects that even the person that fitted it agreed wasn't fit for purpose or how they took over a year to repair a fault that left concrete falling from the roof of our property and that still 5 years after reporting major faults we are still waiting on a resolution, or how they ignore requests from NHBC to conduct investigations but all I will say is avoid Hopkins homes at all costs.
