What a great team of people...

We are in the process of buying our new home at The Brambles in Retford. From the moment we walked through the door to look at the show home we’ve received exemplary customer service from everyone we’ve met and nothing has been too much trouble. Penny has been amazing and she has made the house buying experience so special and personal to us, each time we’ve been the welcome and hospitality we’ve had from her and Karen has been more like being one of the family rather than simply being just another customer. When we met Paul (the site foreman) he took the time to explain all the technical details with us and answered any questions we had in great detail. His personality and approachable manner made us feel really at ease. We are really excited about seeing our house coming together and we are looking forward to continuing this journey with such a great team of people at The Brambles.

Harron Homes at Shipley Lakeside

The team at Harron Homes Shipley Lakeside have been amazing from the very first time we met them to still being great now we are in our home. We were hesitant to buy a new build again after being disappointed with the quality of our first home by a different builder, but we have been blown away with the standard of finish and care that has gone into our Harron home. We really love it. Niki was great arranging our part exchange making the buying process much easier and Olivia worked wonders to make sure we got our keys on the date promised. Charlotte, Amanda and Sarah have always made us feel welcome and probably a big reason why we purchased our home - we didn't feel pushed into it and they have always been really friendly and helpful. Richard, Ki and Dale have been lovely and very helpful for any questions too. Honestly couldn't recommend Harron enough - super impressed.

100% recommend Shipley Lakeside and Harron Homes

Shipley Lakeside are absolutely wonderful! We have recently completed with Shipley Lakeside and since the very beginning it has been an effortless process. Charlotte and Amanda are so knowledgeable and really actively listen to all your requirements. They are so friendly and no question is too big or too small. Buying a house with Harron Homes has been an amazing experience and our forever home is so beautiful. Ki, Richard and Dale are always on hand to help in anyway possible. All of them are amazing and really take time to listen to any concerns you have. You could not ask for a better site team! Again, no issue is too big or too small they will always be on hand to help in any way possible. If anyone is looking for a new home, I 100% recommend Shipley Lakeside. From the very first viewing of a show home to final completion day, it has been a really great process. Thank you again for a perfect house buying experience! :)

Just completed on our Far Grange…

Just completed on our Far Grange Meadows home, and the experience has been wild! Due to the ever changing economic and our impending mortgage expiry it was looking like we would be without a mortgage. Thanks to Jon for battling for us, and to the Harron Homes team they pulled it out of the bag and managed to complete our home in double quick time and in time for our mortgage deadline. Jon has been so helpful, and his customer service skills are second to none. I would be in a complete tizz about something and he was able to solve it and calm me down. He’s a brilliant asset to Harron Homes.Update - I should have waited to write a review. See newest review for the true after sale picture. It’s been nothing short of a nightmare.

Kaz @ Wyndthorpe Chase - WOW!

I cannot thank Kaz (Karen Cole) enough for everything she has done for myself and my partner at the Wyndthorpe Chase development. She has been open and honest through the whole process, especially since we have been her guinea pigs and it being her first sale at this site! She’s gone over and above our expectations. After having numerous appointments with other new build agency’s, the second we walked through the door at Harron Homes and being greeted by Kaz, the whole experience has been amazing and has made being first time buyers less stressful and more exciting! There’s no pressure with anything, even down to viewing the show homes. You can view the show homes privately and in your own time which we loved, as there can be pressure when viewing a home with sales members. The development itself is to a high standard and you can tell there is a lot of thought that has gone into making it that makes it feel like a home. As our home is currently in the process of being built, Kaz also takes progress pictures to document the whole journey which is really special for us! We cannot wait to move in come summer!!

We visited Shipley Lakeside on Saturday…

We visited Shipley Lakeside on Saturday Greeted warmly by Charlotte and Amanda. It was a booked appointment to view the site and plot 49 an Edlingham. Staff are highly professional, yet put you at ease. Product knowledge was reassuringly high. Informative and helpful. They gave us plenty of time too. Pleasure to have the experience. House build quality was great. Standard high. Lovely looking property. Downside was it stated existing houses and not proposed. Only 4 built on this phase with one completed second ready in weeks. If they had planned the road route better instead of as is for site building traffic. They could use the road onto site round the lake. For building works, service vehicles. Plant hire, deliveries etc. As the site will increase in size, by around another 100 homes on this phase all vehicles will pass in and out past the newly inhabited homes. Doesn’t make sense. So sadly it was a no from us.

We purchased our new home through Harron Homes, the sales/service team have been great with us throughout the entire process, very friendly and organised, keeping us updated on the progress were needed, buying a new home can be so stressful but the staff have been there with us every step of the way, this has made it much more of an enjoyable experience! And they were great with our kids too, Thanks so much to Charlotte & Amanda! Also to mention that the customer service didn’t stop when we moved into the property, the on-site team have really looked after us too, checking in with us from time to time to make sure everything was okay and also had them coming over to collect our move in boxes and they took them away for us, even though they are all still working nearby on the site they have put us signs up to make sure workers are aware our property is occupied and to be respectful which they really are, roads are always sweeped and cleaned everyday after diggers have been up and down the road, a lot of work and time goes into keeping it nice, thanks so much to Dale, Ki and the rest of the on site staff, brilliant!

Great insight to the direction that Harron Homes are positioning themselves, and what it requires from its subcontractor partnership model. Great opportunity to meet the people behind the projects.

Great Support The Hawthornes - Carlton

We are in the process of securing our home with Harron Homes at their Carlton development. So far they have been very helpful, prompt with information and really do their best to get a few extra items in place while the build is underway. Special thanks to Caroline and Janette at the sales office for their great support and work completed so far. We await the site visit next to understand build work quality and also fit and finish of the house. Great so far

Harron Homes Bilsthorpe Chase

I have recently reserved a new home at Bilsthorpe Chase in Nottinghamshire and the team there have been outstanding. They have made the journey of buying a new home so easy and at the same time being very professional and courteous. The Head office team have also been exceptionally helpful and responsive at all times. I would like to give a special thank you to Hannah & Karen in the sales team and Nicki at head office for all their help and making my dream home happen :) Kind Regards Mark

Hockley Croft Problems

The biggest problem in the Yorkshire area is honest communication. Having paid the deposit, it became a nightmare, even a registered letter to the Sales Director got no response. Completion dates were constantly being put back at short notice. Finding short term accommodation was challenging and expensive. Completion was scheduled for the 3rd quarter 2021. Completion took place end of October 2022. Site and sales staff were constantly changing.However, since August/September 2022 staffing has remained more constant and under a new site manager, assistant site manager and sales staff who started to work more like a team, the site started to move forward. I was now getting more truthful information about the stage of build. When contractors did not turn up , the site manager was chasing them and those that did not come up to the expected standard expected were let go. I felt that the site staff were now doing all they could to progress my house.My house is not without its snags which were initially addressed by the site and the remaining issues have now been passed to Customer Services. As yet I have no experience of how helpful or efficient they will be as they have only recently been handed my case.So far I am very pleased with my house, for a modern house the rooms are large and the house is well designed. I am happy that I waited for it. I recognise that I was buying at a difficult time for builders. That said, Harron Homes HO made matters worse by not communicating at all or by giving misinformation regarding completion dates. It also put their sales staff in a difficult situation as they must have known what they were being told by HO to tell purchasers was totally unrealistic.My star rating is based on the end product.

Jane Jubb is a star

Our experience with Harron Homes at the Highfield Manor site has been fantastic, in particular Jane Jubb in the sales office. We initially met her in Spring 22 and from first meeting she was helpful and provided us with excellent customer service in he looking us to choose our home, to go through the entire purchase process including selecting all our options. She was available, friendly and there to answer our questions. Having lived in our new house for 5 months, she’s continued to keep in touch and assist where possible. She is a massive asset to Harron Homes and ultimately made our lives and being new to this process a lot easier

Thank you Scott & Team!

Once again we were blown away by Scott and his team with the progress of our house. The relationship between the site manager and his deputy manager is so clear and evident and this resulted today in us having a great customer experience and such a high quality build. They showed us round, explained everything and nothing was too much. Tia was amazing today too (sales representative) What a fantastic team you all are, thank you so much! So professional! We are so grateful.

SNAGS R US @Harron homes.

Disgusted to find yet another snag when we have now started to move furniture in.The radiator in our bathroom doesn't work. It's clap cold because an already broken thermostat was was fitted to it.We've not run the heating till today so discovered yet another fault. What kind of a cowboy outfit hands over a home when there are clearly issues with the build. ? Then ignores when issues are raised.Did anyone actually bother to check the heating system was running properly,? Errrr.,that's a NO then !!Parts missing from kitchen and bathroom,bad finishes to surfaces plus shoddy paintwork, dints ,scratches and smears, plus a water leak next to an electric supply. That doesn't matter either does it.,? Kitchen tap feeds wrong way round.(((Entire plumbing has how been redone under the kitchen sink at a cost to us. Photos to prove and these will be emailed along with a formal complaint to the director/s of Harron homes once we get settled in and have time to adress the issues and stress that this " business" has caused us.)))Risk to my vehicle of damage down to poor planning of car parking bays and refuse facilities.Lack of communication too. Massive fail.#nobodycares!!!I HAVE TRIED TO LOCATE THE MESSAGE YOU SENT AND CANNOT FIND ANYTHING.Update. 07/01 Moved in 2 days ago and now find the shower is running scalding hot. This probably wasn't tested either. I'm unable to get a bath due to mobility issues.Fix for the leak was given to a private contractor to sort as after more than a month Harron homes still hadnt bothered to come and fix it.We're disgusted with the shoddy workmanship and Harron homes inability to oversee these builds are to a decent standard.Update. 11/01.Complete fabrication from Harron Homes sales team in their response to my original review."We've sent you a private message"I've liased with trustpilot with regard to this, and they have advised me that it is impossible to send a private message on their platform.I would have love to have liased with their sales team re our issues. Sadly, we'll just keep using a plastic jug to shower ourselves with the tepid water thats running from the bath tap.Reason being feeds on the boiler are the wrong way round. This was reported well over 2 weeks ago and no one has bothered to repair.Scalding hot electric shower which we can't use. Washing machine rinsing our clothes with scalding hot water. Hopefully some time this century Harron homes snag team will bother to come and fix our faults.I do believe it's possible to feedback straight to the top of the business, as in all honesty, that's where I'm heading.I'll continue to update this review.It makes worthwhile reading just how badly a business can perform.Update.26/01/23Still no working shower almost 3 weeks after it's been reported yet tilers and plumbers are still in houses working further along the developement. No excuses. Harron homes just can't be bothered to organise the work to be done. Bathroom tiles need to come off and the plasterboard then work to put the connections on the electric shower the right way round. !!! Seriously ??? Did the contractor who fitted it come straight from infant school. It appears so. I'll bet he qualified as a competent tradesman with flying colours. Leaking guttering, gap in front door you can fit your hand in. As mentioned previously I will continue to update this review.One of the issues is the TV aerial was reported as not working 3 weeks ago.Again, no communication or repair The lack of communication is appalling.Update evening of 26/01/2023In response to your comments today that your team have been in touch to resolve outstanding issues. As it stands today is there are at least 12 issues outstanding and none of them have been completed or resolved however hopefully plumber will attend today to sort the shower. That's at least one that can be closed.I've spoken to customer services this morning, and at least Chris Locke is doing his best to get these issues dealt with.

Heritage Green feedback

We have recently moved into a house on Heritage Green and having read some of the negative press about Harron, I have to say our experience has been quite the opposite….We did have a bit of disastrous start when our build was delayed….We had sold our house and my girlfriend was heavily pregnant and we had to move out and stay in a holiday let just before Xmas. After one call to Harron stating my concerns/frustrations both the service and the communication was exemplary and they pulled out all the stops to get us in for Xmas.Jo is sales was simply FANTASTIC and a credit to the company. She truly went over and above to mitigate all our stress and nothing was too much trouble. The day we got the keys there was a present waiting in what is now our nursery room for our little baby girl who was just over a week old at the time. Jo - Thank you for everything you are wonderful :)Moving in we did have a fair few snags but the professionalism, courtesy and great service continued. Matt, the assistant site manager, is again an absolute credit to the company. Every issue we had no matter how big or small has been picked up and dealt with in quick time. I raised 5 points the day we moved in and by the following afternoon they were all rectified. The snagging list has been 80% put right in under a week with remaining contractors booked in to pick up the rest by the end of the month.Our Salcombe is beautiful, great build quality and we are thrilled both with the end product and the service from Harron. I would totally recommend them from our personal experience and a final thank you in particular to Jo and Matt.Marc, Charlotte and Bella-MaePlot 71

Caveat Emptor(Buyer Beware)

Plot 123 Far Grange Meadows We reserved our Plot February 2022 and all seemed fine ,we were told that a likely completion date would be August although with supply issues weather etc this was flexible .as we were fortunate to have another place to live in while we waited we explained that there was no rush and we would wait until the house was finished before moving in but could they keep us informed on the progress which for the first couple of months they did.then I think it was around June the sales advisor Sandra left the company and the updates became somewhat sparse so it was us that had to do the chasing for information ourselves ,undeterred we visited the site on several occasions and were pleased to see progress was happening with the build.after exchanging contracts which was obviously very urgent for Harron we waited and on October the 16th I got a telephone call saying the house was now finished and had been "signed off" by the 2 people required as ready and complete and could I complete on the 26th October which we said we would but could we arrange to view the home before that date which we did.upon this viewing it was obvious that the house was not finished due to the lack of any sealing around the tiled floors and the gas hob not functioning however I was assured that these would be rectified before we moved in ,we duly completed and moved in on November 1st.The tiles edge sealing throughout the entire house had not been fitted and the gas hob wasn't functioning.thankfully these have since been rectified.The following is a description of our "finished luxury"homeThe double garage having been used by site for storage was in an appalling state and myself and partner spent a day cleaning all the screws nails and other debris out so we did not puncture our car tyres,in addition we also cleaned both garage doors which had obviously never been cleaned since being built,we discovered that a set of keys to same were missing and this has not yet been resolved .The rear garden which we were told would be levelled was not and again still has neither been levelled or cleared of the various building rubble and debris.The central heating system was inoperative but thankfully after several attempts been fixed although it would have been better if it had been checked before we moved inThe washing machine and tumble drier we ordered to be supplied and fixed had not been plumbed in or installed properly and both appliances subsequently proved to be damaged and inoperative due to the manner in which they had been placed in situ this meant we were without laundry facilities for a month while we waited for new appliances to be fitted this only happened after we got Chris Locke from customer service involved.The gas to the hob had not been turned on thankfully this was simply rectified by site.The electrics had been incorrectly wired and after 3 attempts were eventually corrected There is still a list of various other snags which have not yet been dealt with and I await a response from customer service regarding these.I feel I have given Harron Homes ample opportunity to put things right before writing this review.In my opinion Harron Homes need to be checking their builds properly and checking all appliances and services are fitted and working correctly before moving customers in which clearly they did not it my case which has resulted in us having to spend our time sending emails,messages and speaking to site instead of being able to enjoy our "luxury" homeI have neither received any formal apology or offer of compensation from Harron Homes despite answering their telephone customer satisfaction survey in which I expressed my dissatisfaction and have found the entire experience both disappointing and extremely stressful and feel the I could not recommend buying a house from this company.Should these issues be rectified at any time or any apology or compensation be offered I will of course update my review.A very very disappointing customer experience!

Riverdale Park Doncaster

I recently went to visit Riverdale Park to look at the new builds, and was met by Esna Lee who was absolutely fantastic in her approach. Esna was very knowledgeable about Harron homes, the area and the process of buying a home. Esna clearly loves her job and that came across in her conversation with myself. If I decide to purchase on the Riverdale estate, I would want to buy from Esna as she was simply fantastic!
