Davidsons Homes Corby reviews

★★★★★ 2/5

Nice homes & area, let down by quality issues, excessive snags & numerous issues following repair works. The good - I've lived here for 9 months & love the area, the sales team were great & Davidsons have generally undertaken snag works without question. The bad - there are/were far too many easily avoidable issues with the house when we moved in, it felt as though no pre handover inspection was undertaken by a Clark of works, the house was also very dirty & most snag works undertaken have resulted in additional damage to our home by careless contractors. I don't feel that much pride was taken in some elements of the construction. I don't regret buying this home but do feel that standards fall short of the premium Davidsons are going for. List of defects; Blocked toilets - caused by the builders sweeping rubbish down the waste before the toilet was installed, broken tiles, Stanly blades & other detritus was down there. The plumber who unblocked the toilet managed to walk human waste into the carpet & left the manhole covers unsecured. Broken tiles around shower - this was repaired but the tiler who did the work emptied his bucket of grout onto our front path which stained several slabs. Stained slabs - following the above new slabs needed laying but this took several visits as the wrong slabs were used initially, then they replaced the wrong slabs & even when the correct slabs were replaced they weren't put down well and were left loose. Damaged kitchen worktop - the worktop was damaged & poorly repaired before we moved in, it took 8 months for this to be replaced & when they did their plumber didn't reconnect the flexi connector correctly which resulted in a water leak. The water ended up between the two floor surfaces & partially blew the kitchen unit. I raised this with Davidsons immediately afterwards but at the time of writing (some 3 weeks later) no one has yet attended which means the floor under the units & between the two surfaces has been left damp needlessly long which will likely cause further damage which could have been avoided if someone attended immediately after the leak was reported. Kitchen extract - Davidsons installed an extract that was too small, they later fitted a larger replacement but when this was being done one of the workers scratched the worktop, this has since been repaired but required me to book time from work to accommodate. Upstairs floors moving/squeaking - we have excessive floor movement/noise on the landing, WC and two bedrooms, this has yet to be addressed. Missing dry verge roof cap - this was missing when I moved in, Davidsons have since replaced this but it took numerous visitors due to poor organization. Gas leak - the boiler developed a leak shortly after we moved in, this was caused by water being in the gas line. Although this isn't Davidson's fault other neighboring houses also had gas leaks before & after us, I feel Davidsons should have arranged safety inspections of all boilers as soon as the issue was known rather than waiting for leaks to occur as it was a considerable leak and potentially dangerous. Central heating fault - the downstairs heating didn't work when we moved in. It took 2 weeks to resolve this despite cold weather. Loose bath - the bath hadn't been fixed correctly so would drop when filled. The Plumber who came to repair it did a poor job and even attempted to screw the support to the skirting. I ended up fixing it myself. Floor/carpet defects - we had a few floor tiles and sections of carpet that were lifting or poorly fitted, this was addressed without issue. Paint/wall defects - the quality of the painting is generally poor and there were a fair few dents and poor plaster repairs, I've not been happy with the snag work done by Davidsons painters but will just address myself. Rooms not square - I discovered whilst installing furniture that some walls aren't square on any axis which is very disappointing. Masonry - it's generally ok but some external areas the bricks are misaligned. Other homes are suffering from lime leaching.

BE AWARE OF THIS HORRIFIC COMPANY

BE AWARE OF THIS HORRIFIC COMPANY. We dealt with Alexandra place in Mapperley Nottingham and received the worst customer service I have ever had and this is across the board running throughout the company, I do not no how they get away with it. We paid a deposit to them and were 1 working day over the contract exchange date, fair enough we except this was in the contract but unfortunately we didn't realise so they cancelled our order kept £400 of the £500 deposit and re advertised the house for £6000 more not even a phone call from them. Not to mention the horrifying customer service we had through out the 5 weeks of dealing with them so this was deffinatly a blessing in discuise. I wish we read all of these terrible reviews before we went ahead as they are all deffinatly true I'm sure of that.

Dont seem to reply to emails. I contacted Davidsons via their website to try and speak to a sales manager and have heard nothing back. If this is how they respond to inbound enquiries I dread to think what the rest of the service is like. I will be looking at other home builders instead.

Would do it again!

We had a bad experience with the first sales person but as soon as Lydia took over she ensured that was totally reversed.

Fantastic all round

We have just moved into our second Davidsons Homes house and both times had an excellent experience throughout the process. Davidsons homes are special and definitely not your average new build property.

Once sold you are on your own.

The list of problems we have would make you turn and run away from the sales office. The glamorous dream of owning their properties is far from reality.

Very very disappointed

Very very disappointed, can honestly say snagging very got completed and what did was of a poor quality. Now dealing with aftercare we’ll say dealing they don’t bother to get back to you. Iv never known a house builder to have so many complaints which Iv read and have myself of stud walls so far out of square it’s embarrassing. I’m not doing this out of anger I just want people to be aware before having to go through the terrible aftercare I have. They arnt bothered once they have your money. Had other new builds before, I’d definitely and I say to people my truth is Davidsons paint a good picture but are one of the worst.

Fire doors that don’t shut. Atrocious customer service.

We have 6 doors in our new build that do not shut. I have been advised these are fire doors and as such this is a fire hazard. I contacted the customer services team over a week ago to raise this. I still haven’t been contacted about getting an appointment booked in for this to be rectified. They are taking multiple days to reply to emails & not picking up the phone when I call. I think it might be time to contact the NHBC & HSE.

I visited Grange View in Lower Bardon and was met with Lucy after being recommended by a friend and i explained to Lucy i wasn't looking to move for another 12-18 months , most developers would dismiss me at this point for time wasting however Lucy did not. Lucy explained about future phases and current house types that fit my criteria i am looking for. After more talk with Lucy about Davidsons home i will be definitely looking to buy in the future with these guys , amazing service !

You are amazing : Becky and Jade (Bedford)👏👏

Our experience with Becky and Jade during our 1st home-buying process was exceptional.

We truly appreciate their responsiveness and professionalism, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding support in purchasing a home. With love and regards, Tripti

Disgusting aftercare

Well where do you start with this company of cowboys?They are fast to take your money but their aftercare service is shocking to say the least.They initially acted on our issues from the snag report we had carried out on the property (133 in Total).Since we have moved in back in October 2022 they don't follow up their promise to support you for two years, we have reported a water leak from the main bathroom over six weeks ago with the promise that a member of our plumbing contractors will call you to arrange a suitable appointment, guess what despite numerous emails to post occupation and customer services this hasn't happened.I have no choice now but to reach out to the NHBC for support.The site has almost been completed so i guess they don't give two hoots anymore?DONT BUY A HOUSE FROM THESE YOU WILL REGRET IT, who needs a family bathroom to be functional anyway eh?A very annoyed customer from a Davidsons development.

Shocking customer aftercare

Couldn’t fault the customer care when we were purchasing our Davidsons home. Our problems have arisen in the aftercare phase. We have a huge litter problem on our plot which has been caused by the builders. As the covenant states that no changes can be made to the boundary lines, we were unable to put anything on our boundary to prevent the litter blowing into our garden. We contacted the site team on numerous occasions and while they mentioned resolving the issue with chicken wire we were continually ignored when we asked when this would be enforced. We then took measures to contact the complaints department and after weeks of chasing, the matter still has not been resolved and they have just closed our case. Not what I expected from what is supposed to be a reputable company. This has been ongoing since July 2023 (7 months). Once Davidsons have your money, they do not care what happens next, but are quick to jump on you if you breach the covenant agreement. Shocking customer care.

Davidsons at Little Bowden did an amazing job. Michelle the Sales Manager influenced her Director to Part-Exchange my Grade II listed cottage. It had recently been refurbished and they managed to get it sold within 7 weeks!! Kelly the second Sales Manager and Barry the Site Manager are superb too and provided fab customer service. Yes, there are some snagging concerns but I am certain they will be ironed out effectively. I love my new, cosy warm home.

The WORST customer care imaginable

After sales / customer service is nothing short of USELESS!! Having lived in my Davidsons home for 3 years I feel I’m well placed to comment on just how utterly shocking the customer service is from Davidsons once you move in. I never experienced such a disorganised company, with extremely poor communication with its sub-contractors and suppliers. EVERY single issue I have had with this house has always been hindered by Davidsons not being able to communicate with the suppliers/workers and me the customer - in fact, it’s so bad that our development wrote an open letter of complaint - let that sink in.

Do not buy a house off this Developer

This has got to be the worst house building company I have ever come across. I have lived in a number of new builds over the years and have never experienced such arrogance. Their staff couldnt do enough for us when we were trying buy one of their homes but as soon as it was brought they were not interested in any problems we had. It has taken us over a year to try and get faults rectified and to this date we are still in dispute with them over a number of issues with our property. Their attitude to their customers is disgusting.

AVOID!!!!!!!!!! Worst Developers around!!

Doesn’t even deserve a 1 star! Brought a house in October 2020…. On the day we moved in there was a massive leak which had to be repaired ( bodge job repair was carried out ) 1 year later after a few issues with the boiler here and there, we contacted Davidson for them to a look at the boiler as the pressure keep going every other day! Cowboys Norris plumbers ( who work for Davidson) turned up and said there probably will be a leak somewhere but we can’t do anything until the leak is visible…. More issues continued but with no leak until another year later ( December 2022) the leak finally appeared. We contacted Davidsons and they said our warranty had ran out and they had no record of us reporting the issue to them! We’ve had to pay hundreds in getting the issue fixed! They had used plastic cheap pipes and fittings! And cemented round pipes! Disgusting company! DO NOT EVER BUY A NEW BUILD FROM THEM!!!
