Further to my good review of Jones…

Further to my good review of Jones Homes I would like to advise potential new purchasers of the following: Now over a year on from our purchase of or new home it has become evident Jones Homes via Customer Services have totally lost interest in attending to further matters of quality. I am being increasing fobbed off that matters that had been dealt with previously are now not. Chipped bricks that used to be repaired are now classed as "asthetic" which is BS. Any new purchaser get a PROFESSIONAL SNAGGER to go over the whole house and look for defects. Get as many people in to check for defects and look everywhere. Once found get Jones to sort them ASAP and persist. Check bad guttering joints, badly fitted worktops, bad drainage, damaged bricks and mortar and bad paint. Check plasterwork around windows and look for rusty hinges. Check for long hair left in paint. Check for badly fitted kitchen units. Check the roof for loose tiles. Check for shower drains blocked with plaster and screws. Check especially for creaking first floor beams. Check everything then do so again. Make sure your landscaping is actually done as per plan otherwise you will have to go to the Council to get this resolved. DO SO WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR as beyond this, despite the 2 years warranty you are largely on your own. Follow up any emails to Customer Services with phone calls as emails go unanswered for weeks. Don't be fobbed off by NHBC BS. Jones make a good house in general, but be on your guard as the penny pinchers pulling the strings overrule Customer Services and leave you out in the cold. I really do not like bad reviews and negativity, but as the customer comes second in the long run with Jones Homes I wish to warn you upfront. Other things for your professional snagger to check: Look for glue patches/ stains on carpets and don’t agree to have them professionally cleaned as your house will smell badly for months. Look for cross threaded radiator valves, loose & arcing light switch wires, chipped kitchen shelves and sanitary ware. Missing sealant to floors and doors. Missing wall tiles behind sinks. Look for flooded patio laid fall to house. Look for puddles on driveway due to badly laid blocks. Check your outside tap works/ double check valve not blocked. Check for damage to door edges. Check for self detaching loft access door (caution) and check for torn roof under felt. Check stairs and first floor for protruding carpet underlay staples that need carpet relaying. Check for missing pipe boxing-in and missing sealant to external vents. Check for missing top soil and for cut short soffits/ barge boards also unsealed. Look for bad garden drainage your garden may be a swamp. Most importantly get these and similar items remedied and do not accept compromise and do so ASAP or prepare to do them yourself.If you do proceed with a new house purchase beware a flawed complaints procedure if you need to do so. Use of pre scripted excuses and reasons why not to help. Jones Homes have some truly excellent employees, and I feel awful that they may read this bad review. I am sorry for them, they deserve better. Management that hide behind a NHBC invisible shied of excuses let down badly what could be an excellent company. Do we regret buying a new Jones Home? No. Would we buy another? Sadly no. Our other experiences of new house buying (Barratt and Redrow) have been customer focused, honest and upfront. Jones Homes take a minute to listen and learn. If you do have a choice think hard before you commit and be warned and aware in advance.

Really helpful all round at Wentworth View. From the initial purchase to completion everything has been extremely straight forward and everyone very helpful. The few very minor bits after completion are all being sorted by Neil, Sam and the rest of the staff who have been great.

So after my first review where i basically gave jones homes a thumbs up i feel a strong need to write a second one....basically we were assured from day one that our house was the last one on phase 1...this turned out to be completely false....they decided to add 4 more...all well and good except for the fact that the utilities stopped at ours....this has meant instead of work outside our house stopping around xmas it is still like the somme outside and has been since november...there are huge holes outside...the road is non existent...the constant mess, noise and upheaval has gone beyond reasonable tolerance...we have had no contact from head office...they seem to want to leave it to the site manager to basically tell us nothing!! Now i come home to see that the fence next door is at right angles to ours and more than 2 feet higher??? Absoloute amateurism!! Not to even mention the cracks appearing from all the extra earth works...had i known id be living in such a mess i wouldnt have bought the damn place....

Terrible Quality Homes, Even Worse Aftercare

Purchased a home on the Beaumont Gardens estate over 4 years ago and we couldn't regret our decision more. We had no end of snagging issues & not just the standard stuff you'd expect like unpainted/plastered bits we're talking flooring not fitted properly or stuck down, grass in the garden being completely dead (a problem across the entire estate which chorley council had to be involved in before Jones would even look into), taps aren't fitted properly and leaking from the word go, the boilers they installed blowing within the first few years which again was due to the cheapest boilers being used and the same fault happening with multiple people on the estate according to British Gas engineer. What really shocks me is how bad the aftercare/customer service is, jones homes don't care in the slightest and refute everything you report to them as say "it's meant to be that way" or "thats wear and tear, its your fault" (after a few months). They try to put off helping for as long as possible till you are outside of the care/warranty period.If you're considering buying a home from them, walk away, you're already getting poor space/value for money & you aren't going to get good quality for it either.

New house.... Never buy Jones homes

New house, after being in it one year the garage flooded, terrible service, the heating still does not work. British gas say it was never flushed through when installed and Jones Homes will not do a thing. Banging pipes, the floor boards are so thin you can hear when others are in the shower. The kitchen has now things broken, and the house is only 3 years old. The after service is terrible. The bath at the top does not work. Just disgraceful. Stay clear

Cowboys

If I could give less than one star I would.This is a cowboy company, using cheap subbies to do a shoddy job.From daily harassment pre completion, to not offering a pre plaster walk around and then having to sign a waiver so we could complete on time it’s been a stressful time. 4 months after moving in, snagging list gets longer by the day and the site manager is never helpful, always saying things will be done but they rarely are. Buy elsewhere, these aren’t worth the hassle.Cavendish Grange, Bolsover!

Jones Homes (Lancashire)

We recently purchased a property from Jones Homes (Lancashire) on their Willows Development. This is a beautifully stunning development of just 6 properties, which makes it feel very exclusive.The sales process was seamless and stress-free with Lisa our lovely Sales Advisor. We did have a few snags which have been picked up by their Customer Services Department, who have all (including their technicians) been very professional and amazingly friendly. After reading previous reviews, we cannot understand the negative comments as we have not experienced this and can only compliment the Company.We feel that our home has been built to an excellent standard and the fittings are of good quality, we are the envy of our friends and family. In fact a couple of our friends are looking at homes on their Poulton development.Keep up the good work :0)

Do not buy from this company!

Do not buy from this company! This company dose not even deserve 1 star. The amount of faults we have had/still having is beyond ridiculous. The workmanship is extremely poor and in some cases having to return up to 5 time to rectify faults. The stress and anxciety this company has caused and are still causing our family I can never forgive them for. Thank fully the NHBC have helped us and have had to take over some of the work due to the extremely poor standard of workmanship on the part of Jones Homes. The customer service is shocking, this company only cares about saving money and using contractors that do a very very poor standard of work.

new home

We have lived in our Jones Home for 6 months and are generally very pleased with it. Yes there have been snags which have been seen to but nothing major. We have found the sales staff and site people quite friendly and helpful and willing to listen to any concerns.The site is still being developed so there are delivery lorries and machines operating most days but we haven't found that to be any problem. We find living in Ribbleswood Chase very pleasant and generally quiet and are glad to find a nice small development within our known area which at the moment is being developed at an alarming rate with quite large and sprawling estates.

New Jones Home

We are enjoying our retirement in our new home. The process of completion (despite Covid19) was very smooth and we moved in on the agreed day.Despite some snagging (which was no more than you would expect for a new build) we are more than happy with our new home and would strongly recommend Jones Homes. The Sales office staff and site Manager, have been very helpful, friendly and professional throughout. Definitely 5 star!

Buy elsewhere

House design is brilliant but the quality and workmanship is shocking. I'm in the building trade, and can't believe the workmanship around me, silicone around the Bath looks like a child has done it, in fact all the silicone around the house is a mess. Cracked windows, odd size architraves, cracked doors, doors that don't open, doors that don't shut... Really bad quality, wish we could get rid of it... Up yours Jones homes..

Lovely house but….

Lovely house, built with care but let down by serious lack of attention to detail. We were subsequently informed that some of these disappointing issues are within industry standard which seems to be the general ‘cop out’ excuse. These standards should be reviewed. Shockingly dirty on move in day. Lack of transparency on exact location and its drawbacks. We were refused access due to various site issues until 2 days before completion so too late to back out without huge upset to others. Having said all that, the assistant site manager and the sales person involved were as helpful as they were able to be and we were very grateful for that.

21 months in property and still waiting for items on 7 day snag list to be completed. Multiple issues throughout this process. Company only cares about selling new houses, the finish of the properties is shabby and they have 0 interest in remedial works.This isn't my first new build, but Jones are bottom of the list in my view

Terrible

Terrible - house in Heather View Hade edge not designed or built for the elements and natural weather conditions, 3 year old house failing in too many places to list. Terrible customer service not interested in fixing issues even when there own contracors say there are issues. Disappointing to say the least.
