Exceptional Experience with Lovell Homes: A Detailed Review"

I had a really good experience with Lovell Homes. From the very beginning, their team provided a detailed explanation of the entire process, which helped me understand every step involved. Lloyd and Kathryn were instrumental in making the experience amazing. They were always available to answer questions and provide assistance.One thing that stood out to me was how open they were to hearing all of our opinions and preferences. They truly value their customers' input and take it into consideration, which made us feel like active participants in the decision-making process.Throughout the journey, Lovell Homes' support remained consistent, and they kept us informed at every stage. It's clear that they are dedicated to ensuring a positive experience for their clients.Overall, I'm really satisfied with Lovell Homes' services and the way they handled our home-buying process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new home.

I am in the process of purchasing a new build Lovell home. My experience has been faultless! From my initial call to enquire about the property, viewing and making the reservation. Nothing has been too much. No question is too small or too big. Special thanks to Eileen who has been so patient and understanding and helped to make the whole process so much easier. I am super excited to move into my new home!

Thorough and professional

Tanya at Drummond Park was great to work with. She listened to our needs and situation and gave us all the details we needed to help us make a very big decision. The reservation appointment was thorough, we weren’t rushed, happy to talk everything through so we felt assured and she followed up a question swiftly.

Phenomenal Customer Service and Great Experience

I have been looking for a new home for years and started looking at Williams Park- Lovell Homes a while ago. I quickly realised the spec and quality was above par to other new build homes available at that time. The advice, support, and customer service I received from the sales team (Matt and Jo) was integral to the process and has ultimately led me to occupying a great plot that’s perfect for me. They pointed out things I wouldn’t have thought of and supported me along the way. The care and consideration (and patience) they both had made the whole process very smooth. Jo welcomed me from the beginning and helped guide me through the choosing process, and Matt was very communicative keeping me up to date on the progress of the property, allowing me multiple visits to measure up (nothing was too much) and continues to check-in on the progress of the move and the quality of the house. They seem to always be working and on hand! I have found Sharon from the aftercare team very helpful and proactive- which is much appreciated. Overall I would highly recommend Lovell as a new homes builder, but more importantly I’d recommended them for their great customer service. Buying a home is no small purchase, and it’s nice to feel like you have people like Matt and Jo who care about what they are doing! Thanks to all the team!

Our journey with Lovell homes at…

Our journey with Lovell homes at Williams park began in early 2023. The sales team of Jo and Matt were central to our very positive experience. The purchase process was explained very clearly by Jo who led on the administration. Matt was our lead for viewings of our new home. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative about the build process. Any concerns or queries we had were taken seriously and dealt with swiftly and to our satisfaction, making a stressful time less so. The purchase documentation was extensive and impressive. This is our first new house purchase in over 23 years. |Our purchase of a new home was an experience which was made less stressful by the expertise and more importantly the ongoing support of Jo and Matt,

From Hero to Zero in 12 months.

We moved into our dream home just over a year ago and the Lovell team that helped us purchase could not have been better, a sheer joy.12 months later and the snagging list has never been actioned. There was nothing on there of any great issue but the faulty toilet cistern in one bathroom has now appeared in the en-suite so neither can be used.Two messages before Christmas completely ignored and I’ve sent one each month for the last three months to escalating levels of customer service management. Other than an automated message that they will come back you get nothing.Undeliverable emails to the main representatives ( Wendy and Emma, who were brilliant) indicate the best staff have now left. Half a million is a lot to just be ignored this way, so sad their bubble has burst.UPDATE: within a few working hours of my review I’ve had a message back (thank you) so fingers crossed this turns out to be a blip and they're back to ‘hero’ status again. In which case I’ll gladly share the good news.

Professional decorator

Many thanks to Jordan (Lovell’s decorator) for his professional service on today at Williams Park. He has done a superb and excellent job and also explained how to do a proper job. He is also a nice and helpful guy, which he has spotted additional snagging lists and no doubt at all to fix it immediately. Lovell shall keep more good staffs like Jordan.

Special mention to staff

We purchased a bungalow on the Williams Park estate in Norfolk in December and my review is based on the service we have received throughout from particular members of staff. On the sales team, we dealt with Jo who is a "legend" and Lovell is very lucky to have such a professional member of staff. Although the sales process was delayed, Jo kept us informed at all times and was on the end of the telephone to answer any questions. In recent times, we have had dealings with Matt on the sales team who is always there to help us should we have any issues when we are unable to get in touch with customer care. We have inevitably had some snaggings and we really cannot thank Phill Bend enough on his amazing service. He really does care and always goes out of his way to ensure things are put right. It cannot be the easiest job being on the frontline of customer care and ensuring that bad workmanship and snagging issues are put right. Phill, you deserve a medal! We are gutted to learn that Phill has recently left the company which is such a loss to Lovell. We just hope that we will continue to receive the after care that Phill gave us.

All Saints Green, Stradbroke

Thank you to Mandy at All Saints Green for her help and assistance in showing us around the property and providing all the information we needed to enable our decision to buy, and to Matt for dealing with the reservation process efficiently and smoothly. The whole process so far has been dealt with very professionally, with good communications and a willingness to assist wherever possible.

Great sales team - shame on the after sales approach

Update- Now a year on and still chasing to get things fixed.chasing to get things fixed for over 2 years!!!!!!Bought lovell house in July 2020 the buying process was simple and sales team beyond fantastic given it was through the start of the pandemic as well but very well managed.Once the building and sales team moved off site it has all gone downhill. I have an initial snagging list which has been with lovell customer services for over 14 months. I have chased multiple times via email and phone to be told we are following up on it. Today I was told "they are starting to get through the list". It is beyond a joke given that some are simple fixes- kitchen doors, temperature of water for bath. There is NO customer service as there is no apology or plan forward for when everything will be fixed. Coming up to 2 years in the house and Lovell better not say 2 years now it's not under warranty - after chasing them for 14 months!

After service is bad and the handwork is even worse.

When we dealing with Lovell everything was smooth and with prompt reply. After we moved in, everything is going downhill.I have a report from the snagger there are 209snags found. I have sent back to Lovell and ask them to fix, the contractor came whenever then want to sometime they missed the day that they asked to come.And the things that they fix get even worse than they don’t come to fix.We have paid for upgrade the sink then gave us the wrong one, they came to change but the extra pipe under the sink they just leave it there! That was really non-sense and they don’t install the board back!What I mean is the after service is bad, and the handwork of the Lovell even worse.

Good service on the reservation

Jade was very helpful. We had many questions about purchasing the house. She clearly explained all the details of the reserved plot at Spinner Quarter. And then she gave us a lot of information, helping me make decisions about the process of my reservation and the upgrade items. We really appreciate her enhancing our confidence to buy the house. We desire the coming day of house completion. We are very satisfied with the service of Lovell Home.

Hopton bowlers green- Garden does not drain

Hopton bowlers green- Garden is not completed to standard and has no top soil and Lovell have not had any of the building rubble broken up. Our garden remains boggy for a long time after rain making it unuseable. Neighbours have the same issue but get nothing from Lovell. They are pushing it out to several companies who clearly do not have domain over the treatment of the rubble. We cannot plant anything due to the lack of top soil and now the rubble has dried our garden is full of sunken areas. Great service until we completed the NHBC survey but since has really become poor.

Jordan (Decorator) at Hopton.

Jordan (Decorator) at Hopton.A credit to Lovell Homes. Very methodical in his work, takes pride in everything he does. Very friendly and polite. Transformed our living room after moving in and noticing extremely poor areas of plaster! Jordan ensures care is taken to protect and cover all furniture and flooring when sanding and painting and always cleans up after. Would highly recommend Jordan!

Accommodating, friendly and professional

Mandy has been very friendly and open to any questions we’ve had. We’ve not felt pushed into anything at any point and communications have been the right balance of professional and friendly. Mandy has been very accommodating. We look forward to the next stage of acquiring our new home, feeling confident our questions will be addressed along the way.

Caroline at Blossomfields

Caroline Lewis at Blossomfields has been nothing but excellent and has made the experience of buying our first house much less terrifying! We feel as though we are in safe hands and have appreciated all her advise from how to go about the deposit to the colours of our carpets! She has happily answered my partner’s many, many questions with far less eye rolling than he got from me! Always been quick to respond when we’ve reached out and has managed to be flexible around our schedules for in person meetings, even when it’s meant her working late, which is much appreciated.

Definitely recommended

Definitely recommend. Yes, there were few issues with the property but need to admit they were sorted quite quickly under the warranty. I would especially like to thank Simone from Oaktree Grange office and Shane, one of the building site managers for always walking that extra mile for us and trying their best to make us feel appreciated for choosing Lovell Developments. Even now Shan is our number one person to report any immediate issues and he's always on top of the case. We really appreciate it, especially knowing how buissy man he is. Thank you. X

Matt Russell at Stradbroke

Matt Russell at the development in Stradbroke has a can’t do enough for you attitude. This makes a refreshing change compared to other builders I have visited. His no pressure sales should be commended. Unfortunately due to family commitments I could not proceed with the plot I was considering. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt and Lovell Homes to anyone.

Absolutely awful. Would never buy from Lovell again

Absolutely awful. Wouldn’t ever buy from Lovell again. Ruined our experience of buying our first home. Firstly the joists were incorrectly measured so the whole of upstairs creaked wherever you walked when we moved in. To the point it was loud cracks and could be heard the other side of the house. We had the flooring company here three times, who directly said “It’s Lovell’s fault for selling a silent floor”. It caused so much distress over 5 months. We had to have all the new carpet taken up and furniture had to be taken down. This took place over 5 months because of the back and forth with Lovell and them not being able to diagnose the problem until the flooring company eventually agreed to redo all the flooring which eventually fixed the problem. Basically he just couldn’t be bothered because he wasn’t being paid for it by Lovell. He directly quoted he doesn’t get paid for sorting it out so he doesn’t know what to do. He clearly did know what to do because when he had to try the the most difficult option, he fixed it all in one day and the issue was resolved. He was avoiding it because it’s a day of unpaid work. Carpet still not put down properly and we have lived here 18 months. He had to put holes in our skirting boards which weren’t filled or painted properly. You can still see the damage. Every time they come and fix snags they cause more problems such as dents in the shower and bath tray / scratches down the walls. We’ve had the shower tray break 3 times and holes all in the shower grout 3 times which has now caused the tiles to become loose. Obviously they were not fitted correctly. We’ve been here 18 months, there shouldn’t be loose tiles and holes in grout. This can cause mould or a leak. Front door has had to be fitted twice and we had to call an emergency locksmith out due to the locks breaking. The whole doorframe has now been replaced plus the lock mechanism.After a few months of living here we discovered deep scratches all under the top kitchen cupboards and deep scratches on the frames of the windows. This was flagged to customer service who said it’s not their problem as we didn’t flag it on the move in date.This is our first time buying a house and we only noticed them after a few months living here. What’s the point in two year warranty if they don’t correct THEIR errors? It looks like they dragged our kitchen cupboards across concrete before fitting them.The sales team also massively messed up which they didn’t hold any accountability for. We were told there was a washing machine included in the cost when we bought the house and picked our extras. We arrived on move in date to a big hole in the kitchen and they told us we didn’t specify we wanted one when buying extras. This has ruined the look of the kitchen as it’s not integrated and now we have a washing machine in the middle of our cupboards. Absolutely disgraceful. Sales team denied having that conversation with us but there is no way I would have bought a house with a brand new kitchen with no integrated washing machine. Totally ruined the aesthetic. I have to constantly chase customer service and then they send contractors with zero notice. This is disruptive when I work from home.Don’t start me on the garden and how they only patio outside of your back door. Garden is a mud pit and on a slant. Grass is poorly laid.We were sold walk ways, fencing and a pond outside our house which has become a hole for weeds and rubbish. Builders are still fixing the roads so it’s full of pot holes and tractors parked directly outside our house. Will never buy from Lovell again. Worst possible experience. They were ok when we were buying the house because they want 5 stars on NBC survey. It’s awful after that.

Abysmal customer service

Firstly the spec of the actual house is lovely. Location is great. However we were made promises (verbally of course) when buying off plan that had we known to be untrue we would not have bought. When challenged after purchased all was denied and dismissed“You have the flattest plot on site! Only 3cm gradient from one end to the other. You look out over a lovely balancing pond which will be lovely for wildlife and ducks which will be great”The reality is a garden with a gradient of over a metre that slants TOWARDS our back doors. There is considerable flooding everytime there is any rain. The garden is uneven across the width as well as steep, with divots and dents everywhere making it completely unusable and unsafe. Two and a half years of polite queries being either ignored, dismissed or lied to. Customer service once you’ve signed on the dotted line is non existent. Ask for their complaints procedure? Ignored. Ask to escalate to higher management? Ignored. Spent hundreds of thousands of pounds to have no usable garden over looking a dirt hole with no wildlife and less water than the flooding by our back door. Roads still unsurfaced. Iron works still exposed. No care whatsoever. Management company fees for no one to be seen in nearly three years!
