We recently purchased our new home at Pendle Farm

We recently purchased our new home at Pendle Farm Worsthorne. Our experience from start to finish was very positive. Karen in the sales office is lovely. very helpful and knowledgeable answering all our queries and any concerns we had. Gary the site manager is great. He is always on hand keeping you updated on the progress of your build. We’ve been living in our new home for two months now and any small snags have been dealt with promptly by Rosie. All the team on site are all very friendly and they have all added to our journey being a positive experience. Thank you Karen and Gary nothing was too much. We love our new home the quality of the build and the fixtures and fitting are all to a very high standard we couldn’t be happier

Family run and it shows

I can’t thank Jess enough for the support I have been given in buying my home. I rented my property from Skipton properties/ Verity &Co for years, and to finally own it i don’t even have the words. These guys are family run and you can tell with the patience and kindness they showed me through what has been a stressful time, buying a house as a single parent is difficult but they made it possible. I fell in love with this property the minute i moved in back in 2018. The lay out, the design, the location are all top tier. An amazing company with really amazing people. Thank you again !

Happy Customers - ‘Pleased as Punch!’

We cannot rate Skipton Properties highly enough! Having previously owned 3 new build homes we can say with all honesty that Skipton Properties are by far the best. From the word go we have been helped enormously by Karen Douglas (The Alders) in the sales department. During most of the sales process we were travelling overseas and Karen pulled out all the stops to ensure that our purchase went seamlessly. She has been outstanding. The very few snags we have had have been dealt with, almost instantly and very professionally by Rosie and her team. We can only hope that Skipton Properties continue to build fine homes and the company goes from strength to strength. Thank you from us both.

The Willows A great location A great house A great move.

I have just moved into The Willows, Silsden. The location is fabulous. The customer service and support with the move into my new house has been 1st class and of course the build is outstanding. The little extras you get with a Skipton Properties build makes it easy to move in and get going straight away. There were only a few very minor snags but the excellent customer care service meant they were sorted within 24 hours. Iam looking forward to many happy years in my Skipton Properties house. Many thanks.

I have been into the sales office at Pendle Farm a number to times, enquiring about properties on the development. The Sales Advisor (Frankie), has always been really accommodating and helpful. Frankie is knowledgeable on both the development and its stages of build, along with the wider community and surroundings. Frankie clearly knows the area and product that is being sold. Such a friendly welcome on all of my visits. Frankie is clearly an asset to Skipton Properties.

Massive thanks to Frankie

Massive thanks to Frankie. From our first tentative enquiry to meeting her for a viewing she's been a Star. Knowledgeable, friendly and answered a barrage of questions we've had. Resulting in the Purchase of our New Home. We couldn't have asked for a better Representative of a great company.

Beautiful house, fabulous staff

It is nearly a year since we bought our house from Skipton Properties and from the start of the buying process, hand over and after service, the staff have been exceptional. The build quality of our new home is excellent, but inevitably some issues are bound to arise. Some snags were pointed out to us on handover and were dealt with the day after. Any problems we have identified have been rectified promptly. Rosie in customer care has been particularly helpful. The tradespeople are so friendly and efficient. Thank you brilliant staff for all your efforts, it is very much appreciated. We love our new home!

Outstanding Homes, Even Years Later

We originally visited The Oaks sales office in Skipton and placed an early bird reservation on a plot due for completion in Spring 2027. Having seen the quality and design of Skipton Properties’ homes, we were more than happy to wait in order to secure our first home. Unfortunately, due to our rental property being sold and the timings no longer aligning, we had to withdraw from our reservation. Throughout this, Karen and the rest of the team were incredibly understanding and supportive, which we really appreciated during what was a stressful time. We ultimately went on to purchase a home built by Skipton Properties around seven years ago. While it wasn’t quite the brand-new build experience we had originally planned, we were genuinely delighted to still secure one of their homes. Even after seven years, the quality is exceptional and really highlights the level of care, detail, and craftsmanship that goes into their developments. Having moved from an older rented terrace, the difference is remarkable - our home feels modern, energy efficient, and extremely well built, despite not being brand new. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Skipton Properties (now Verity & Co) to friends and family. There’s no other developer we would trust more.

Buying new Skipton Properties home

Having lived in our family home for 25 years it was time to move to Yorkshire to be nearer to our boys who have settled locally. Our experience with Skipton Properties has been fantastic. Everyone needs a Karen Douglas as part of their team as she has been amazing helping us through the ups and downs of moving house including when the chain fell apart. Once moved in the few snagging issues have been expertly managed by Rosie immediately. We have been impressed with the build quality and thoughtful little touches that have been built into the house. Moving house is always stressful but the team at Skipton Properties have made it manageable and so much easier than it could have been. Thank you.

New Build Home

We purchased our first home through Skipton Properties and as first-time buyers were extremely grateful for how seamless they made the whole process. The house was finished to an exceptional standard, our snagging survey only identifying a handful of snags which were dealt with promptly and with minimal disruption (thanks to Craig the Site Manager and Rosie from Customer Care). A special mention to Karen Douglas, our sales advisor, who from the very first time we stepped on site to handing over the keys went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and keep us updated throughout the build. Thank you once again to all at Skipton Properties, we love our new home.

New build home owner experience

Bought a new build house in June 2023 it all moved very quickly from selling our old property to moving in. Karen Douglas was absolutely brilliant and is a credit to Skipton Properties and one of the main reasons we decided to progress with a purchase on the site. We moved in and had a few snags that were promptly addressed but we did have one large issue which was regarding the access for our car getting onto the street with the unfinished roads. I must say although it took some time to fully resolve and there were, frustrations along the way with higher management the on the ground team were always helpful and understanding. People took the time to appreciate our issue and tried to temporarily resolve the situation to allow us to be able to drive to and from our property. All workers that I have come across dealing with our internal snags from joiners, the plumber and the painter and decorator have been great and accommodating of what we have needed. The only reason I have provided 4 stars and not 5 is due to some mentioned frustrations with higher management and I would always want to leave an honest review. Overall we love our home and enjoy living on the new estate. Credit once again to Karen who truly is brilliant at her job and an all round lovely person.

A great place to live

We bought out first home at The Alders with Skipton Properties, and overall, it has been a brilliant experience. Whilst we had some small snags these were promptly resolved by the site team without much drama, and the house build quality is excellent. I must also say that Karen Douglas is a credit to Skipton Properties' sales team, having gone the extra mile to make sure that the sales process was as smooth as possible, and has always been happy to keep us updated on the build progress for the site.

A company who cares about their customers, and the build is sympathetic with the countryside location, Karen Douglas sales person at The Alders, Skipton was fantastic with her help throughout the process from choosing a home to handing over the keys at the end. Only had 2 minor snags to report and these were dealt with within days (thank you to Rosie!) A wonderful surprise was the Hamper from Skipton Properties which had everything you could need when moving in from toilet roll, coffee, wine and much more! so useful.

First Class Service

Me and my partner recently moved into our first home and we are delighted that we chose Skipton Properties! From the very start of going to look around to getting the keys everything was first class. A special mention to Frankie who dealt with us from the start and was brilliant throughout. We couldn't recommend Skipton Properties enough!

Disappointing - don’t believe their “values”

UPDATE As an update to my original review I’ve got to say I’m more disappointed by Skipton Properties/Verity. Two plumbers have told us our en-suite cistern is incorrectly installed. Without looking at any photos or visiting they’ve concluded it isn’t. We’re left with a leaky toilet and huge costs because of incompetence. Cannot recommend - very poor after sales care. No better than the big developers when it comes down to it, for all their talk of values. ORIGINAL We purchased a house at Bolton Gardens, Silsden. The buying process was smooth and we moved in to our new house only a couple of weeks later than we had expected when we reserved off plan months in advance. We’ve had some snags that have been handled relatively well and the on-site team are usually very good and friendly when they come and sort stuff. We have had several more serious problems. 1) Parking. Skipton Properties have decided we cannot park on our street, so all our visitors have to enter through the utility room rather than the front door and lovely hallway we have in our new house. Completely mad and we’ve had to take legal advice and are continuing to pursue this with Skipton Properties and their solicitors. 2) Skipton Properties forgot to do some wiring to ensure we were hooked up to Openreach for an internet connection. Skipton Properties initially said it was Openreach’s fault before then agreeing it was their fault. The on-site staff were brilliant at then trying to fix the problem, which was complicated, but it should have been done as the house was built and Skipton Properties shouldn’t have fobbed us off with blaming Openreach. We couldn’t work at home for around 2 months, incurring quite a bit of expense. When we complained we got a response on behalf of a director that was basically “never mind, it’s sorted now”. 3) We have some cables sticking out of our house. They are apparently for a Virgin Media connection should we want one. We don’t, we’ve gone with BT. Skipton Properties, who built the house and left the cables sticking out of it have told us that it’s not their problem we’ve chosen BT and that we are therefore left with cables sticking out of the house they built, and they can’t do anything or help us to do anything except just leave the cables sticking out. Defies common sense - they built the house and they left the cables loose. Overall I think probably better than some new build developers but not deserving of the reputation they seem to enjoy locally if our experience is anything to go by.

Home sweet home

We moved into our new Skipton Properties home in August and the house instantly felt like home. Skipton Properties have gone above and beyond to make the process as simple and enjoyable as possible. The house is built to perfection and the craftsmanship inside is exceptional. All the materials, fittings and fixtures are the best quality. The house is bright, warm and quiet thanks to the beautiful windows, excellent insulation and well thought out site plan. We are very grateful to everyone involved especially the sales team who couldn't do enough to make our home perfect. I am confident we will live here for the rest of our lives. Also the hamper on our moving in day was a lovely touch. Thankyou to all at Skipton Properties. Doreen & Ian Broadbent.

High quality service

Coming from one new-build development to another; the quality of the build, finish and service at Skipton Properties has been far superior to previous experiences. In the month we have lived in the property, there have been no snagging issues. Frankie, our sales advisor, was extremely helpful and approachable. She ensured our buying and selling experience was as smooth as possible and helped us quickly resolve any issues that arose along the way. We have been extremely impressed and would highly recommend Skipton Properties to any future buyers.

Horrendous experience of buying a new home. Endless amount of snags and issues in the home, from uneven floors, uneven walls, damp, doors that don’t shut, handles that don’t work properly, scratches on oven and sink when first moved in. The list goes on but the worse been a slate tile fell off the roof onto our car. They agreed to cover costs and then change their mind and refuse liability. Blaming the wind. I am not a roofer but pretty sure a bit of wind wouldn’t blow a brand new slate off a roof if quality slate was used and fit correctly. Do your research online and avoid.

I have dealt with Skipton Properties since September 2019. I have always found them to be professional in their approach, with great attention to detail to make sure everything goes to site correctly. The office are quick and efficient, if there are any queries on a job they are sorted promptly. The site agents are always courteous, pleasant and always take the time to ensure everything is programmed correctly and in plenty of time. A real pleasure to deal with every member of the team.

We have been sub contractacting for Skipton properties now for over 15 months and i can honestly say we have not yet had one bad experience in this time. Skipton props sites are great to work on and it is a breath of fresh air to work with a main contractor who goes the extra mile to make sure everything you need to help complete a specific project is there on the site to make our job easier. Dealing with them is straightforward and as a company we are really excited about our present and upcoming projects for Skipton properties! This is a fantastically well run family business who are building some great homes, we have worked on new build sites nationwide over the past 10 years and these houses are amongst the best builds we have worked on easily!

Phase 1 Bolton Gardens. All Good !

We purchased a phase 1 plot on Bolton Gardens, and we’re really happy with our new home. Build quality is excellent throughout, right down to fixtures and fittings including handles, and we’ve even had visitors comment how they like the black hinges on the doors! As the site is on various levels, it really adds to the character of the whole development, and gives a real “quality over quantity” appeal. They were happy to work with us to try and accommodate specific requests during the build, be that at extra cost or free of charge, and any snags or concerns raised since we’ve moved in have been handled well by the Customer Care team. The icing on our particular cake will be when the final road surfacing is completed, but as far as the house, and our dealings with Skipton Properties, are concerned we’ve no complaints really and would recommend.
