Unexpected Help

We were buying a 2nd hand Hopkins Home from a vendor who was buying a new Hopkins Home - we had a few problems relating to our sale and the help we got from Hopkins Homes was superb even though we weren’t buying from them ! In particular Katherine Grant was an absolute star, with her knowledge and contacts we were able to keep our chain intact and complete our move, which at times looked destined to fail.

Keeping a chain together is no small feat, and we're glad her knowledge and dedication made a difference. We wish you many happy years in your Hopkins home.

Customer Service that Care

I purchased a property back in 2020 and the sales and customer services team were great. However, the reason for this review is that i contacted their customer services team a few days ago to ask if they had records of the tiles used in the property. I didn't expect much as its not as though they are gaining anything from taking time to deal with an old customer but Max was incredibly helpful and sent me the details of all the finishes for the house. Taking care of previous customers shows the culture of the business and really grateful to have support years after the initial purchase. Thank you, I can now add some tiles that match instead of re-tiling the whole bathroom!

First home purchase

I’ve purchased my first home through Hopkins Homes and had the pleasure of working with Jason, and he was nothing short of superb. He was welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much. Because of his kind nature, I felt comfortable and confident going through the process and I couldn’t be happier in my new home! Thank you Jason & Hopkins team.

First impression Church Farm Drayton

We met with Michelle today at Church Farm Drayton to discuss the possible purchase of a home. Despite having never bought new build before and with loads of questions to be answered Michelle was extremely patient with us and very knowledgeable about the build. She made it a very pleasant experience and i’m hoping we will move forward with a sale in the future and would be very happy if Michelle was to facilitate this.

Jason has been absolutely phenomenal…

Jason has been absolutely phenomenal with supporting us on our journey to purchase our new home! He has always been able to answer all our questions, guide us in the right direction and really puts our needs first. Hopkins are known for their exceptional detail and quality of homes, and this extends to their consultants who really care about what they do and care for everyone they come into contact with! Thank you Jason!

A House Purchase with the whole purchase and after care fully explained…

Rachel was exceptional from the very first moment my wife and me met. An understanding of our requirements when looking to purchase a new property. She was very professional in her approach but also empathetic to our requirements in our property. She explained to us in a sensible and easy way the Hopkins Homes approach to buying property. Having bought new homes on several previous occasions where we often had to return for explanation of terms and conditions certainly not the case with Rachel . We would certainly recommend her and Hopkins Homes . Thank you for all your care.

Matt @ Loddon Rise

I’m in the process of buying a house on the Loddon Rise site. Matt has been great. As a first time buyer it’s all new and overwhelming but Matt makes sure to keep me updated and is always happy to help if I have any questions. Very happy with my Hopkins’s experience so far.

The Elms Woolpit

We placed a deposit on a bungalow under construction late summer subject to a sale of a property in the Midlands. Sadly we aborted this to Christmas but through out The Elms sales person Jason Hutton has been outstanding dealing with our numerous queries. He is an excellent representative of the Hopkins Company. Thank you Jason so sorry our purchase fell through.

Hopkins Homes: Interesting house designs and competitive prices. Abbots Vale, Bury St Edmunds: Caroline: a credit to Hopkins Homes.

Caroline, a sales executive at Abbots Vale in Bury St Edmunds is really helpful and informative. I visited today and Caroline gave ma a very thorough overview of the development. She also gave me a tour of 3 house designs. A credit to Hopkins Homes and a great customer service. Thank you.

Not a very good experience

Not a very good experience. All smooth at the start but then things dragged on, some of which was due to my circumstances, and a total lack of flexibility from Hopkins. It was other little things like very few updates, a total lack of options/choices, I asked for regular photos as we live 150 miles away, got one, taken out of the door of the sales office. Render colour changed last minute. Site manager couldn’t have been less interested, when I said I was keen to get in before school in Sept for my daughter, he literally shrugged his shoulders, wife was told ‘your house isn’t the only one we’re building’!! We pulled out of the purchase, reservation fee was kept but no communication, receipt or confirmation provided.

Customer · 21 June 2026

Agent replied · 25 September 2026

We're sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience. While we always aim to deliver homes within the anticipated timeframe, build programmes can occasionally be affected by factors outside of our control, resulting in changes to completion dates. Throughout construction, access to certain areas of the site may also be restricted for health and safety reasons, meaning photographs of all areas cannot always be provided. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. We wish you all the best for the future.

My experience with Kim at Church View…

My experience with Kim at Church View has been nothing but perfect after I lost a property with another Developer in the area. Kim has always kept me UpToDate with the progress of my new build and I cannot wait to move into a Hopkins Home knowing that I will also get the same support.

Hopkins Homes Stowmarket

I visited 4 Hopkins Homes sites in search of my perfect property. I eventually managed to secure a new home in Stowmarket.

We’ve had an ongoing issue with the… Hopkins homes

We’ve had an ongoing issue with the grouting in our kitchen floor, a structural engineer has also been out luckily the house is sound. He told us there was not enough screed under the tiles meaning the grout is constantly cracking open. We’ve now have a hole in our floor for over a month. Hopkins are very good at selling houses but there customer service and aftercare is shocking and we’ve had experiences of rude staff we are now also being ignored by the company so we will be contacting the NHBC this weekend about the ongoing problems

I have recently moved into my Beautiful new Hopkins home at Church View Bramford. From meeting the lovely Kim who guided me through the buying process keeping me updated and who was always on hand giving good advice throughout, to moving in day, having my handover with Andy who showed me how to use everything, and who went above and beyond to make sure the house was perfect. Thank you Hopkins I love my forever home

The Best Housing Developer

We are so happy in our home built by Hopkins Homes. I would not want to buy a home from any other housing developer. The homes are spacious and well built, the customer service after purchase is beyond fantastic. Every little thing we reported as a snag (there wasn't much!) was fixed immediately and Jack went above and beyond to get things fixed. I would highly rate Hopkins Homes to anyone, they are the best in the business! Thank you for building our dream home!

Always helpful and available.

I was delighted to complete on the purchase of a property within the Elms Development. The good feeling started immediately in the Showhouse where Jason’s friendly, helpful and professional approach was a major element in deciding to select a Hopkins house. Through out the whole process, unexpectedly delayed through international funds being temperately withheld, Jason provided a calming proficient and confident support. His entire friendly, knowledgeable and professional approach was a major factor in my decisions to purchase the Elms property.

Church Farms, Drayton

We purchased our home in Church Farms from outside of Norfolk. Lacie’s communication & follow up left us feeling really good about the whole process of buying the house, despite not being able to visit in person easily. She was professional & thorough during the whole purchase process. Since owning the house, Lacie has continued to be a source of support and the after sales care was not something we expected. Jamie on Site has displayed similar qualities & validated our decision to buy a Hopkins Home.

My positive feedback

I moved into my new Hopkins home last year. There were the initial small issues, but it was so much easier than I expected to get them resolved. Everyone from the Sales team, site teams and the customer service team were incredibly supportive. The contractors were polite and always cleaned up following their works. I like that even after you have moved in I still receive calls from my coordinator to make sure everything is ok. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone. 5 star service all the way.

I purchased a property from Hopkins…

I purchased a property from Hopkins Homes and moved in December 2023. Right from the start, the customer service was excellent. Sheridan was friendly, honest and efficient. It was my first home so I really appreciate her support with all the complicated aspects. I love my new home. Friends and family have commented on the high standard of the build and finish. The rooms are light and airy and the flat has been well-designed to include built in wardrobes and additional storage. There was very little to report in the snagging survey and the very minor issues were sorted straight away. The landscaping around the development also looks great. I would recommend Hopkins Homes.

Excellent Experience

From my first visit to The Elms, Jason has been extremely helpful. He has gone above and beyond to answer my many questions and to make my feel at ease. After nothing but problems with a different developer earlier in the year, Jason has made this whole process quick and stress free. I have been kept up to date at all stages with professional and friendly attitudes from the whole team. It's been a pleasure to go through this move with Hopkins. Big thank you.

Our house is exceptional, as was our experience with the team, Thank you Hopkins Homes!

From the first visit to The Elms in Woolpit we have felt all of the butterflies and excitement one hears about when buying their new home. Jason has been fantastic throughout the whole journey of purchasing our home. - selling a home and placing your heart on the line when buying a new one is stressful but with Jason and the team everything with Hopkins home has felt enjoyable, warm and they have truly provided a top standard 5 star service. We are so grateful to have found our house with them and for Jason, as he has been a pleasure to work with. We have just moved in and see him on site and he continues to be kind, helpful and generally a lovely person to have a chat with alongside being super professional. He genuinely cares about our happiness with our new home. Our snagging list meeting has been arranged for a couple of weeks after we have moved in and we have full confidence in being taken care of having met Lukas who really cares about the high standard of workmanship in the home he has built with the team. We feel so lucky and thankful to have found Hopkins homes and had this experience with Jason, Lukas and the team. It really feels like Jason and Lukas love their jobs and it shows in their meetings with us and the standard of their work. - a big Thank You from us!
