I moved into a Crest Nicholson property...

I moved into a Crest Nicholson property at Campbell Wharf in March and have been absolutely blown away with the service they have offered. My apartment is everything I could have dreamt of. The finish on my property is perfect and I have the pleasure of overlooking a beautiful private courtyard. I'd like to give a massive thanks to Sasha (Sales Executive) & Chris (Project Manager) for going above and beyond to make this a pleasurable experience.

Becky and the team at Crest union park…

Becky and the team at Crest union park Daventry are such amazing people. I’m a first time buyer so things can get quite confusing, but Becky explained things so clearly and in a very easily understandable way. She made boring paperwork into something fun and interesting (quite a task). Buying a house is a big thing and it’s not easy, but I’m super looking forward to moving in! Thank you again 😊

Our visit to Crest Nicholson Ludlow Green

Our visit to Crest Nicholson Ludlow Green couldn't have been any better. The sales advisor Georgia made us very welcome and provided us with all the information we needed plus a very detailed tour of the style of house we wanted to buy, this resulted in our choosing the plot we wanted.

Unless you want to be waiting 80+…

Unless you want to be waiting 80+ minutes to get out of your estate due to the construction companies poor planning of new builds onto main roads meaning they then have to dig up half of it creating roadworks that create tons and tons of traffic don’t bother!

Miss Β· 16 December 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We recognise the inconvenience these planned essential works have caused and thank residents for their continued cooperation as we work to complete them ahead of the Christmas break. These works, which have been communicated openly with residents and the local community, are being carried out in line with the framework agreed by local authorities, and once complete will help deliver improved connectivity for the community.

So professional

Can’t recommend Lauren, Hazel and the entire team at The Rowans highly enough. From the moment we walked through the door of the site office, we were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. They are all so friendly and go through everything with you so you fully understand what is you are buying. Attention to detail is very important to them as well as putting you at your ease.

Josh over in the Elmswell site

Josh over in the Elmswell site, was extremely helpful. As we are first time buyers, he took the time to explain the whole process of what happens when purchasing a house. He managed to speak to us although we turned up without an appointment. And fitted us in at another site to view the home we were looking at. Josh went above and beyond in customer service, very open and honest about the process.

General condition of the house was ok

General condition of the house was ok. Very poor after sales. Snags slow to be resolved. We have no heating in a couple of rooms and the on site plumber hasn’t turned up two weeks in a row to rectify their mistakes. Garden was a load of mud, and front garden has to be redone as it was so poorly landscapes with no weed membranes.

Be warned, this company is unscrupulous

This company is unbelievable. Their standard of building work is appalling, and they are very happy to not complete any snagging issues, but let the NHBC deal with complaints instead. The customer services are non existent, and never respond to any emails or calls. The secure car park entrance has been broken since May 2023, and there’s no sign it will get fixed. Cars broken into, bikes stolen. The entrance door is constantly breaking, which has allowed people in to steal property (all Christmas presents delivered by Amazon, stolen). The fob entry system is also broken, can’t even get into the property on the right floor, due to the broken system. Lift breaks down constantly, and not fixed for ages as it’s not an β€˜emergency’. The quality of the fixtures and fittings are dreadful, and snagging issues are just ignored, until you have to fix them yourself. Several site managers have disappeared overnight, wonder why. The customer service team don’t care less about anything being rectified, at best we get a cut and paste load of rubbish email, that makes no sense. And now to add insult to injury, CN have had to install Illbrook membrane to our properties, after they failed to do so as per building regs. This has caused untold damage and disruption for homeowners, who have been complaining for 2 years about this issue (CN having denied it for 2 years). Their attitude stinks, they could not care less about the damage that properties which have had the work done are now experiencing shattered windows due to the work, CN refuse to acknowledge and just tell homeowners to fix it themselves. As we’ve all had to fix every snagging issue ourselves. We’ve given up bothering about feeling secure in our homes, it’s not worth being constantly ignored. We just accept the car park and apartment block is not safe and secure. Thanks Crest Nicholson - we paid a fortune for this place and the service charges each year. What a waste of money. The response by CN on Trustpilot is to try and get the review removed, so we have to prove we actually live in this dump. Don’t be fooled into thinking they will contact you. They won’t.
