If I could a rating of zero I would

Writing this on behalf of daughter who is concerned that negativity now will impact completion date, which is only a week away. Misinformed by sales team; site visit a few weeks highlighted some issues - were reassured these would be sorted and on home demo visit would see the quality. Home demo visit yesterday - broken skirting boards, broken door frames, dirty carpets, gaps from floor - base of kitchen cupboards, spotlights not fitted snugly, chips in tiles.. items paid for not fitted. To say they left heartbroken is an understatement. This should be an exciting time for them. No reassurance this time it would be sorted, just redirected to make a complaint under the new homes quality code, which itself states the developers are expected to ensure snags are rectified prior to completion.

Great support from Katrina

We recently visited the Cringleford development and were shown around by Katrina. She was incredibly knowledgeable and went the extra mile to help us through the process. We've visited a few developers and she has been by for the most helpful. Thanks Katrina!

We have had the best experience reserving our new home at Wycke Place, Maldon .From the first viewing Rachel was so friendly and helpful and answered all our questions.Hayley and Shaun then helped us immensely at the reservation stage, and the three of them have made everything a pleasure. They are all very welcoming and are easy to contact which is refreshing. Very excited to move in …

If I could give a 0 rating I would

If I could give a 0 rating I would I have honestly had the worst experience since moving into my house at the end of August. The aftercare team are the most unhelpful and inhuman people I have ever spoken to. A week after moving into my home I discovered I had a booklice infestation that got worse day by day until they eventually spread across the whole house. They were all over the walls, ceiling and floor. I was hoovering them up 4 times a day and they were just relentlessly coming back. I called sage and crest to speak to them about the problem and was told because this was not a defect they were unable to help. Booklice are caused from damp or mould and unless the root cause is found you cannot get rid of them. I told crest I was worried to leave the house for a week while I went on holiday because the house would’ve been overrun by the time I got back. Again they did nothing to help. When returning from holiday my worries had come true, the kitchen floor, cupboards, window ledge and downstairs toilet where absolutely crawling in them. I called Crest who again refused to come out and have a look and advised me to get pest control out and get a report to identify the cause, which I did at my expense. I got the pest control report which identified the area they were coming from and clarified they’re caused from damp, mould and leaking pipes. They again refused to take accountability and suggested sending someone out to check the extractor fans which was a waste of both my time and theirs. They refused to send a plumber because it wasn’t a defect down to them even though they hadn’t been out the check. After no success I paid for a professional snagger who did a thorough check of the house. As expected, there was in fact a defect with the plumbing and there was a leak in the bathroom everytime the shower is on. Under the bath tub and kitchen counters is loads of insulation that doesn’t need to be there. This is the perfect breading ground for the infestation of booklice. Finally some answers so I can get some help….. no, again even after two reports from professionals stating the cause they refuse to take accountability.The plumber came out and identified leaks in two places in the bathroom which over the last month would’ve been contributing to damp conditions, enhancing conditions for pests. The snagging report found 80+ faults with the house. Staircases out of plumb, walls out of plumb, sound proofing missing between the brickwork in between the houses and so much more. Crest rejected the majority of the faults as cosmetic. In a brand new house I’m not sure how you can reject issues as cosmetic. It Is a matter of fact they’re down to poor workmanship! Chips in the plaster, paintwork not finished or cleaned up, silicone not done properly. When I moved in the patio doors didn’t shut properly. Surprisingly, they did send someone out to this. The tradesman said they can’t have been inspected or signed off as there were fixing parts in the door that should have only been there for transportation purposes. The doors hadn’t been installed properly or adjusted to fit the space. It also hasn’t been siliconed thoroughly on the outside.The new build house has caused me nothing but stress, anxiety and many sleepless nights.I would absolutely avoid Crest Nicholson and Sage Homes

Crest Nicholson Windsor Gate, excellent home design

We were looking for a traditional stylish new home. Crest Nicholson has provided us with a stunning selection of gorgeous detached houses with unusually large gardens, no property is over looked and simply meticulous house design. At first, I couldn't exactly imagine how the development is offering anything different. But due to the circumstances (.....) I revisited this particular site. Honestly, I was surprised at the level of the service and quality of the workmanship that has been put in to build those lovely houses. This is beautifully planned living by design, nature and environmental protection all the same.Although I feel I have a great place to live in, I was cautious about making right choice in these market conditions. The developer understood our concerns, we felt supported in every way throughout the house buying process. Very transparent service, safe transactions, overall our development has abundance of offerings for all budget and taste all the same.

Katrina was extremely helpful in answering all the questions I had regarding the property. This has been useful in helping me decide which property and builder I should go for. Crest Nicholson comes as very strong contender for properties at Cringleford Heights.

Unusable solar panels and missing railing after 1.5 years

We bought a property at Morton Park and moved in last April. It came with a PV system apparently at the request of the council. One and a half year later, the solar panels are still unusable because they asked us to switch the system off but have not been able to arrange a safety check, not to mention the missing MCS certificate and DNO letter, and the missing railing which they kept saying they were going to install after 1.5 years.

Bev is very welcoming and has been supportive throughout so far. Questions are answered with speed and Bev always keeps me informed. Bev is also a familiar and trusted face for us having realised on our 2nd visit that Bev had sold us and supported in our first property buy 10 years previously.

Danielle - credit to the Crest team!

We haven’t had the chance to move into our new home yet but we are almost there and we would not have got to this point without Danielle from Crest! Our buyer’s solicitors are the absolute worst and if it wasn’t for Danielle we would not have been moving in this week, 6 months of Danielle constantly chasing everyone for us, she never gave up! If you ever need a job doing get Danielle to do it, she’s amazing, a goal-driven individual and a credit to Crest’s team.We can’t wait to move into our beautifully built new family home, we will have so much space, the room layout is fantastic for a four bed house, we all have good size rooms and finally we have a garden for the dog! Our forever home!

3 years I’m leaving in one of the brand new home made from crest and I’ve already spent around 3k to fix all the issue made from them, ceiling scraped door not closing and scraped all the wall near to it and all the time I keep calling them and the answer is always the same : someone will come and I’m still waiting from 3 years and now that I’m still waiting for a door to be repaired and they keep pushing forward they said they are sorry but I’m out of warranty, absolutely a joke I will personally advice to do not trust them based on my personal experience

We are on the Kingsmead Development in Faversham, Kent. There are ongoing building issues regarding the fence directly behind our plot. We spoke with the site manager regarding this and he came to our garden. Our 7 year old autistic son was playing with his water gun while my husband and himself were having a conversation. Our son was squirting water at me and ended up squirting the site manager as well. He then proceeded to say “YOU CAN’T CONTROL YOUR CHILDREN” First of all, this is HIS GARDEN. Second, he’s an autistic child trying to have fun IN HIS OWN GARDEN. He has no right to say any of that nor was that called for. I WANT THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

I do not recommend Crest to anyone

I do not recommend Crest to anyone. I wonder if the bad reviews get taken down? Their customer service is shocking, 3 years down the line we still have big snagging that needs dealing with. Bubbling in the flooring was supposed to be fixed a few months after entering the property!!Currently we have works in the development digging up the paths. I wouldn’t mind if we were told. Especially as it’s happening right outside my house blocking my pathway. Creat haven’t let us know our path will be out of action! What would happen if I was in a wheelchair? I wouldn’t be able to get out as my path would be blocked. What a joke!! Health and Safety checks done?? I could go on, but I’m exhausted by Crest. We will not be buying from crest again.

Our experience with the Claybourne

Our experience with the Claybourne development has been excellent. We would like to give a special mention to Lesley in the sales office and Darren the site manager as they have both supported us throughout the whole process, responding quickly and efficiently to any questions or queries we have raised. We would thoroughly recommend the Claybourne development to anyone looking for a high quality new build. Colin and Chris Osborne

Nikita at Kegworth Gate has been amazing. She's always at the end of the phone or an email should we have any questions or worries and can never do enough. I also really like how we receive weekly email updates on the progress of the build - maybe you could go one further and attach a photo? I hope everything continues to go this smoothly!

Don’t buy a Crest Home! Poor quality and they won’t fix issues should they arise after the property is completed. They are willing to wash their hands of any after sales issues. Poor customer service.

Crest developed a set of town houses where most of the houses have issues with their roofs. Since I purchased the house the roof has had issues, in year 2 and 4 they came to try and fix it. Now in year 5 the roof continues to leak. They have basically told me to get lost and work it out with insurers. They took over 6 months to consider my emails and NHBC reports and washed their hands of it all whilst the leak got worse and progressed to mould and internal damage. They have not been interested in assisting in rectifying the problem which has been since day 1 and due to poor work and quality of work. Extremely poor customer - they fob you off to NHBC who offer 1/4 of what it would cost to fix the problem. Many in my development have had issues with Crest; best not to buy from them and to go with a reputable company. I CANT RESPOND to the Crest comment below (can’t find the function to); but I have not received any request for more information as they have stated. Since I have bought a home from you - you can find me on your customer service info @Crest

Excellent sales experience but pathetic after sales and snags not fixed

Reduced my 5 start rating to 1 star because after sales experience nose dived. Snags not fixed and it's close to 6 monthsMultiple appointments but my kitchen refrigerator has no doors - it's been 6 months and I keep getting appointment every 45 days. Technicians come and mention that they were not correctly briefed and can't fix. ---------------Reserved property at Hansford Park and the sales experience so far has been excellent. Full marks to Katie for great communication, prompt response to any enquiry. From start to now we were helped along the process - understood all our requirements and gave good suggestions.
