TrustpilotRun.. do not buy!
If I could have put 0 stars I would. Absolutely horrific company to buy from and deal with. They don't communicate at all. They finished the build 7 months late but only answered the phone to us the day before we were meant to move in 4 times to tell us "it won't be tomorrow" 2 years later and we're STILL trying to get snags sorted that were reported the week we moved in. We have had water issues comi g out of our ears! The only thing that held water when we first moved in was the dog bowl! Mould all over, loft.. still drenched all the time! Wooden floors we had put down... Destroyed at our cost! They wipe their hands as soon as money is exchanged. Sewage backing up in toilets. Extractor vents duck taped on .. yes tape.. this is just a few issues.. the list is endless. Gardens are just as bad. Like a swamp is the easiest description... You also have to fight to get your deposit back! My only advise is don't do it. It ruined our whole experience of buying our first house together.... What was meant to be a lovely new home for a young couple... Feels like a prison.. run for the hills and get your deposit back whilst you still can!

The communications from the company are excellent. Georgia, the sales agent at Croftside Quarter has been absolutely brilliant and most helpful.As a company,you don't need to change anything regarding the initial reservation of a property.

Been in property since August snag list still growing. They have gone back on work the project manager offered to do. The ex construction manager visited the house and everything he agreed that has not been completed has been withdrawn. The experience has been horrendous even had raw sewerage poring out off drain onto our front garden and path just ignored until we contact environmental health.

From the start the team have been amazing! Customer service has been outstanding. They listen to any concerns or issues we have and are able to sort these in a quick timescale.

TrustpilotHorrendous
Horrendous! They try and wriggle out of doing absolutely anything! Rusty radiator all across the bottom, they can’t conclude that we haven’t damaged it, are they for real? How can we damage an already hung radiator that we haven’t touched! Absolute jokers, useless customer service! Poor quality, issue after issue and they are not interested in helping! The appointments that are made to rectify are hardly ever adhered to, they don’t turn or are late if they do turn up! The directors couldn’t care less either and just fob you off! Someone should be make them accountable for the horrendous quality and appalling customer service!

TrustpilotAvant homes fantastic service!
My experience with Avant homes has been excellent. From first purchasing my plot to moving in. The after sales has also been very good. The site managers Dean and Luke are always helpful and professional. Jordan on site is also very good and helpful. Georgia the sales assistant is on the ball with everything and nothing is too much trouble for her. I would definitely recommend Avant Homes!

TrustpilotAppalling customer service
Appalling customer service. They agree to repair issues and then drop off the face of the earth. The general managers leave the company after a matter of weeks and you have to start the cycle all over again. If they had decent staff I'd give a good rating as the houses are lovely just a shame staff don't care about there job or customer satisfaction.

TrustpilotDisgusting appalling and useless
Still no improvement from Avant Elliot Place - over a year of living here and still a joke, outer building issues, not their problem, poor panelling fitting causing drafts and freezing homes not their issue… street lighting WOW we got it other month, road and pavements… only just starting to construct the pavements, waiting 8 months for new flooring to be sealed in both toilet/ bathroom due to a leek, which has now occurred again, sote manager informed, housing informed NO ONE CARES now resulting in black mold upstairs and now coming through onto the kitchen roof… guess who's going tl be paying for that. I am not happy.Absolutely disgusting, appalling company/ housing development full of cowboys and no to little brain cells who dont give two hoots.Worst place. Its a hell hole and i cant wait to be able to pit a sale sign up already.Useless people allowing people to live in poor unhealthy conditions!

TrustpilotOnce you are in
Once you are in, they do not care. Some things they promised would be done, were never done. Once they leave the development site, that is it, slow progress. Beautiful design but poor finishes, discovering more and more each day. Still have not completed a number of snags, promise to return and poof, like a puff of smoke, they were gone, never to be seen or heard from again.

TrustpilotFurlong park Doncaster AVOID this development
Furlong park Doncaster We have had 2 previous new builds and by far Avant homes are the worst, The workmanship and build quality are the worst by far we've come across, snags galore *Tiles upside down & wrong shade*Damaged roof tiles letting water through bathroom ceiling *Breeze blocks/bricks in the drains empty cans of pop in the stud walls *Doors/windows hard to lock/open*canopy over the poorly fitted *wardrobe doors issues*Garage door broke within an hour of moving in & parts missing off the door How these houses on this development are getting signed off is beyond meStill ongoing with the list some people on the estate have been on a year and still waiting for things to be done/replacedThere legal team is something else (bullies) sending letters out to people on the estate for petty issues and threatening legal action Not a happy customer, my advice would be chose another developer
