The worst company I've ever dealt with…
I almost don’t know where to start with this company. We have a nice house, but only because of the hard work we put in to ensure it. Stonebridge did their best to wriggle out of every possible issue, repeatedly closing off snags that were far from sorted. Choosing to buy a new Stonebridge home means committing to 2 or 3 years of stress as you sort out the problems they have created. It would be less work and hassle to buy a house needing renovation. I get it, you’re reading this and thinking this is a one off, or maybe this reviewer is a bit picky. This is typical for Stonebridge, and we are not the exception. I actually think we did better than some. I’m a resilient person but it’s no lie to say this was probably one of the most stressful periods of my life. We had to battle for months and years to get a full resolution to the hundreds of snags, some of which were very significant issues. Stonebridge are now doing their best to relinquish any responsibility for the shocking state of the communal areas on site. This is three years after us moving in. If you are looking at a Stonebridge house, please honestly come and visit their site off Derry Hill in Menston. You will see what resembles a wasteland. Then drive to the Bellway site off Bingley Road or any other new build estate; there, you will see what any reasonable person would hope for and expect. Think about whether you would accept this, think about the hundreds of emails, phones calls and meetings the residents have had with Stonebridge to try and get things resolved…and this is the sum total of all of that effort. Nothing. The development seemingly went over budget, they don’t care about the residents as we’ve paid them years ago and they are trying to leave us high and dry. Steve Errington, MD at Stonebridge, The friends and family that you say you enjoy spending time with on LinkedIn. Let me tell you this, If they could see the upset and hurt that you and your company have done to the Menston residents, they would be ashamed to have any association with you. Maybe if you do read this Steve, you could do an all-time first and do the right thing, Sort out the communal grounds to a reasonable level (you know with grass, not dead twigs for trees and preferably no metal/paving slabs sticking out of the ground), we can then take the land over and move on with our lives. You would think that given a house is the most expensive and important thing any normal person will purchase, that you would have some pride and integrity for the way your company operates and treats your customers. I know that’s what I’d do and I know many others who would do the same. Your company purely cares about taking money, not the distress you are causing to so many people. Shame on you.
