Trustpilot250+ Snags, worst bricklaying I’ve ever seen!
We have been in our 5 bedroom Charles Church home for 9 months now. Having snagged the property upon moving in we highlighted 250+ defects, some minor, some more serious and structural. Whilst the site manager was proactive in rectifying many of these, it soon transpired that his only reason for doing so was to gain a positive review on the NHBC National New Homes Survey. In fact, this was all that mattered; to the extent that we were given a new kitchen, along with other significant remediation works, all in exchange for a positive review. Since this survey Charles Church have gone cold on us. Nobody can answer any questions regarding the site, the street sign to the estate still hasn’t gone up, there is outstanding landscaping works to the front of the property and we have around 100 snags remaining. Before committing to a Charles Church home make sure you look at the carpentry and brickwork. The standard of both across our estate is shocking. When the sunlight catches the gable end of any house you can see how out of tolerance the brickwork is, the bricklayers leave mortar everywhere on the brickwork, and mortar joints vary from 3mm to 30mm (should be 10mm). Charles Church now manufacture their own bricks, and the ones to our house look very cheap. The carpentry of our staircase is very poor, with the same applicable to other areas around the property. The finish is just very substandard throughout, whether it’s the paintwork, plastering and alignment of internal walls (we have several out of tolerance), quality of the windows (many are scratched, poor beading) the list goes on!My advice would be to seriously think long and hard before buying a Charles Church home. Do your research and look at the quality of the other homes in the area. They really are the epitome of the new build nightmare stories you here. Built far too quickly without due care and diligence with poor site management and customer care.

We found Ben (Sales Adviser at Regency Park) polite, professional and ever ready to answer any queries we may have had. In essence, he was the deciding factor in our purchasing the property at Plot 20, Clos Rhys Meurug. Jill and Alun Bevan
That's great to hear - and exactly the service we expect our valued customers to receive. We wish you many happy years in your new home.

Bought a Charles church house August 2020 I love the house but have found quite a few snags . Uneven floors , carpet , vinyl issues. Air vents outside covered over . Uneven patio slabs .Front back and interior doors have several issues , with door frames and brickwork around front door. There has also been a few leaks, chips and other tweaks that have become apparent to me . These are just some of the problems I’ve experienced. Ross Parkinson though , the customer care manager on site has been nothing short of wonderful. He has been so friendly and helpful. The worktop has been fixed and floor levelled in kitchen. The work that has taken place has been excellent and the workman very friendly. Ross as I have mentioned has been great at coordinating everything and if things carry on as they have been doing , even with the current COVID situation,If the snags continue to be rectified as they have so far . I feel I’m going to be generally quite happy with my experience with Charles Church as a company. Many thanks to everyone involved.
