TrustpilotThe service of Avant homes is…appalling.
The service of Avant homes is disgusting. I made the mistake of reserving a house in Leamington Spa early December, even though i had not seen the house internally because Avant homes "couldn't find the keys"! It was reserved under the proviso that i can have a full refund within seven days if i changed my mind - which I did. I even persuaded them to put it in an email. I called and emailed and filled out the necessary forms within three days. I have been chasing them ever since for my refund with no luck. i will be taking legal advice. They were quick enough to take my money. Their lack of communication is shocking.I am only giving a one star as it doesn't give the option to give no stars.

TrustpilotDO NOT BUY
Honestly where to start.. we bought our Avant home nearly 2 years ago and we have had endless issues! We bought a house on Chevin Park originally sold to its residents as a self contained village which would have its own amenities however, Avant are greedy and decided to fill it to the brim with houses instead which has put immense pressure on the local facilities due to the amount of people now living here. As per other reviews you will spend years after moving in chasing issues going round in circles, blaming others and promising call backs you never receive. Lauren head of customer services doesn’t reply to emails either even for serious issues! The Clock Tower building we live in has endless issues the ballroom roof is leaking the doors are broken leaving it open to security issues! The area behind the building ‘Highroyds Court’ has no street lighting and uneven tarmac the road sign has blow down numerous times. One of the main issues with the Clock Tower as a whole is the roofs and window sealants falling out due to cheap materials which Avant promised to follow up which they never have, the tiles on the roofs are falling off people have leaks in their homes! The list is endless! Avant are now trying to pass the site to a management company asap to wipe their hands of it all! Disgusting

TrustpilotBeautiful house.
Lynsey was very nice. Showed us around the home. They house is built to a high spec. Unfortunately for me it's about 50 minutes away so it will not work with my commitments. Would love to live there though.

TrustpilotExciting Avant new build
After 40 wonderful years in our previous house it was with a certain amount of apprehension that we decided to slightly downsize and move into a new build with Avant. We needn’t have worried, the options of design were varied and exciting, the sales staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the whole event to moving in seamless. The quality of the house is excellent and with our own personal after sales service manager Laura to talk to regarding any problems we couldn’t be happier.Ian & Jan Robinson

TrustpilotAbsolute cowboys builders!
I don’t think I can even fully put into words how terrible Avant homes are. We bought a house Greenhall village plot 212 April 2021. We have had nothing but problems since the day we moved in. We have had barely any our snagging fixed. They gave us old rusty windows who this is even possible in a new build I do not know. Never seen a sink so badly scratched, kitchen drawer broke, all kitchen cupboards misaligned. Plumbing issues in all each of the toilets. Need to flush twice always. Drainage sounds like thunder. Ticking in en-suite told they would need to rip up tiles to fix it then never came back. Every floor is squeaky. We did have someone come fix the creak in the stairs and he said they had been build wrong. My mental health is deteriorating as I now genuinely fear for the structure of the rest of my house. Door bell doesn’t work. Struggled to open windows. WC flooded.The list is endless and new problems keep arising. Externally our back path was never completed we actually ended up paying someone to come pave it ourselves as the builders have now packed up and left the site. Site manager is incompetent we complained about him and Avant sent him to resolve our complaint. He told us none of our issues were able to get fixed as they didn’t any contractors to do it. We have complained to every contact in Avant we could find yet no response. When we do get hold of someone they just fob us off saying they have the list someone willbe in touch. I just don’t understand how they can get away with this. So many people in our estate all have the same issues it’s a disgrace how the site manager etc has overseen these homes been built to this standard.

TrustpilotThank you Avant Homes!!!
The whole process of buying my new home with Avant has been brilliant and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I was in touch with members of the sales team before they'd even started to build The Melton. I explained that I had a very poorly son and I knew that there was a house and plot that would be perfect for him. From that point onwards they supported me through the process of buying and moving into said house. Everyone I spoke to was kind, sensitive and patient. I believe they went above and beyond throughout. Since moving in, the after sales team and the building team working on the development have been most helpful. They even rebuilt a brick column that I reversed the car into on the same day!!I would absolutely, definitely, 100% recommend buying a new house from Avant. Everyone involved helped to make my new house a home... so thank you Avant Homes.

This is our second Avant home in 4 years and we deliberately went for them as a builder because of the quality of build and the excellent customer service we received first time. We have not been disappointed in any way. From reservation through to completion and the usual problems of house sales along the way, the sales team were brilliant. Once we were in, the site staff have been fantastic and friendly and highly aware that while we are still on a building site, we are also in our new home. Additionally, the customer service team and the follow up to the buying and moving process have been great. Yes we have had some snagging issues but they have been dealt with in a professional manner and to a high standard. Very happy with all aspects of Avant.

TrustpilotHorrific from start to finish
Horrific from start to finish. No communication within the company or with us, their customers. Terrible brickwork. Date of completion moved multiple times due to their incompetence and lack of communication with site. Had to reselect flooring 2 weeks before we move in. Unanswered calls, unanswered emails, managers that are incapable of calling or emailing when they say they will after promising the world to us when we complained the first time. The most hectic and stressful experience we’ve been through with any ‘company’ (if you can even call them that). No idea how they’re still up and running with the way they work. Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy. Avoid at ALL COSTS.

We have bought 3 new build homes over the past 8 years. Avante Homes have to be the best without fail. Everything that we have noted on our minor snagging list has or is in the process of getting dealt with. Very efficient service from the whole team especially John.

TrustpilotOh dear
Oh dear avant homes . Where do I start ? Maybe from our first visit to the show home in Mansfield where we were told by the sales rep whilst she was eating her salad and (maybe selling the houses but still not sure🤔) that if we could all win the lottery we could afford an avant home 😳. It got better. Many unreturned phone calls. Valuations on our house that showed we could afford to buy our dream house and erm …. nothing. Not quite sure what to think. Anyway have since got a house with a very professional company that actually return your calls and treat you like a valued customer.

Buying a house is never easy and can be stressful… however you know you can pick up that phone or go to the Avant office and you get greeted with the warmest welcome and they work to resolve any issues or concerns you have . Any house snags were listed in no time and within days they were being resolved … great service and the workmen so so friendly .I even lost my new house keys on move in day .. Louise and Natalie calmed the situation and even waited after their going home time until the keys were found. So grateful for these lovely people . First class …. Thankyou 😊💕

TrustpilotMonkswood
Our opinion on New Builds has certainly changed! Recently we have purchased and moved in to our forever family home on the Monkswood site and from the start the team have been nothing but helpful and accommodating. As with everything in life there had been a few minor hurdles (mainly with the part exchange) but nothing that had been a deal breaker. Since moving in, Ian, Dave, Lisa and Zara have been incredible. Everything had been explained to us reagarding our new home and details left in case we needed anything. We have had a few very minor snags (mainly cosmetic) which have been recorded and dealt with efficiently whilst keeping us up to date on progress. We honestly couldn't recommend the site team or the quality of the build enough. We absolutely love our new home and can't wait to make many happy memories as a family. A big thank you to the site team for making our move as seamless and effortless as possibly, we truly are very grateful for all of the help and support.

TrustpilotAvant North East - Absolute Joke
What a nightmare Avant North East and their tradesmen are. We have used a full years holiday entitlement in 3 months waiting in for appointments to fix snagging issues. Their tradesmen turn up and look at the job and disappear never to be seen again. Then a different person comes to look at it again. If they do actually carry out any repairs they always manage to make them worse and then have to come back yet again. We asked for compensation for all of the time off that we have had to take as we now don't have enough holidays to cover child care in the school holidays but they have refused to offer us anything at all. Absolutely socking. Where they get their tradesmen from is beyond me. The must be the cheapest of the cheap.

TrustpilotDirty sales tactics
Dirty sales tactics, the house we were looking at was advertised with a 10k deposit bonus and estate agent fees paid. So we put our house on the market, got a buyer in place, then when our contract came through. "What 10k deposit bonus?". They expected us to carry on because we'd gone so far already. They wasted our time, our buyer's time, estate agent's time. Now the house is back up on their website advertised with 10k deposit bonus...
