TrustpilotLaura is Avant’s biggest asset!!!
Laura is for sure Avant Homes’ biggest asset! She is amazing at her job, always goes above and beyond and has incredible attention to detail. She certainly made our experience with Avant and our new home a lot more enjoyable. Thank you for all your hard work and always trying your best to help, Laura. We very much appreciate it.

TrustpilotBuyers beware - Happy to take your money......
I am not normally one to leave negative feedback, however I feel strongly that buyers need to enter into any agreement with Avant with realistic expectations.In there marketing Avant claim that the homes are unlike any other and that they do not accept compromises. They also harp on about their Avant Gold Standard, which quite frankly is beyond a joke.We know for a fact that we are not alone in our views, as others have expressed the same. Ever since we exchanged contracts the experience has been worse than poor with little or no communication regarding progress updates. We were initially told a move in date, this was then delayed by over 6 months resulting in the loss of our buyer, Avant agreed to help by Part Exchanging our house, however their offer came in under the valuations given by there 3 assigned agents (Avant advertise 100% market value), the mortgage valuation on our new property also came in lower than the sale price. When we challenged Avant on this there response was "fine we'll cancel the sale then!"The final delays were due to our house not passing the Avant Gold Inspection. On moving in we discovered, damaged door handles, uneven plasterwork, defects to tiles, areas not painted and even missing insulation. In addition the external bricks on the garage were a different brick from half way up. It has taken 18 months to get 3/4 of the initial list done, with most repairs requiring multiple visits due to poor workmanship. The house has been re-plastered the finish was that poor. We have also had issues with the driveway, whenever you turn your wheels it pulls bits of tarmac up, this was challenged and replaced once and the fault has continued. The latest response that we have received from their CEO and MD is that they are not willing to address the issue, as they are satisfied that it is fit for purpose, when we challenged this they had a report done which they are not willing to share the findings of, although conversations that we have had with contractors would support our argument. This lack of Customer Care is something than runs right through the business, even down to the site management who has demonstrated clear examples of sexual discrimination towards females, and has a general attitude of talking down to people. His attitude is that he is not customer facing so doesn't care! Is he not aware that he is talking to customers on a daily basis!Anyway this is an overview of my own experience with Avant Homes and to go into too much detail would take too long!

TrustpilotFantastic customer service Andy Jones
Quick, highly professional work completed to the highest standard by joiner Andy Jones at Carnethy Heights, Penicuik. Not only did he complete work as agreed, but also identified other issues at the same time. He logged a follow up job to be completed shortly. Fantastic customer service! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any joinery work.

Laura came to my house at Waterside Quarter to fix some snags and wow!! What a lady. There’s not a thing that she cannot do, she is an absolute credit to the company. Couldn’t rate her level of work high enough and with her professional and kind attitude I felt she needed highlighting with a 5* review! Thank you Laura!

TrustpilotAvant Homes - Furlong Park Positive Buyer Experience
We moved into our new home on Furlong Park, Doncaster, 22nd December. The site representative (and their colleagues who looked after us whilst they were away) have looked after us brilliantly all the way through from reserving to moving in. We also want to thank the site manager and his team because despite the inevitable minor snags no question has been too much trouble and everyone has been at strains to support us.Overall, we have had a positive experience buying with Avant and our new home is exactly how we wanted it to be.

No screen to navigate to give details of various properties. Visit is just 10% better than phone conversation as I could only view 1 property type of my specification, others are not available and no virtual tour in place.

TrustpilotWest Midlands - Monkswood - Rob Burnham is fantastic
I've reserved a property on the Monkswood development in the West Midlands and I have been extremely satisfied with all service received so far. Rob Burnham has been absolutely fantastic. I am a first-time buyer so buying my first home has been somewhat daunting but Rob left no stone unturned and I'm now counting down the days to completion.

Lewis from Greenlock Place was welcoming when I dropped into the development over the weekend. He showed me around some of the properties and provided me with some additional information about the area, which I didn’t know about and answered some additional queries via e-mail.

TrustpilotAdam was fab
Adam was fab! Turned up as expected, carried out the work to a really high standard, friendly, great with my daughter and our dog who were both very interested in what he was doing. If the review was purely for Adam I would have given 5* however our overall Avant experience hasn’t been great, hence the 3* review.

Trustpilot1 month in, Sorby Park/Rotherham
In Avant home 1 month now. I read so many negative reviews and I was a bit worry but I found the site manager Dean very interested in customer satisfaction, reactive to our needs, and generally a star. External snags were completed even in our absence. Small snags shouldn't be counted as realistically I can do them myself quicker and almost effortlessly. So thank you Dean and team. So far happy homeowner.
