From the sales girls (Kelly & Marie) to…

From the sales girls (Kelly & Marie) to the site managers (Keith & Scott) nothing was ever too much from start to finish. Professional and helpful and go above and beyond I could not have asked for a better buying experience. The houses are well thought of down to every detail. We had bought from a previous builder but Anwyl are definetly are favourite overall. All in all they have been absolutely brilliant (Amy aswell).

Anwyl is a below-average developer.

Anwyl is a below-average developer.You're paying an average of £216,800 for a new build (we paid £300,000 for ours), but the quality and finish are well below average. Some tradesmen clearly don't care, and the site managers/supervisors don't care about the homes' final finish.The snags we found that they weren't going to fix originally were because we hired a professional snag firm to find these for us. (The biggest snag was the roof truss support completely snapped.) How anyone signed this off is beyond me. The tradesman who saw this and continued to install it should find a new trade, preferably away from homes. Anwyl only agreed to fixing this when they built our neighbor's home too close to ours, which in turn left the neighbor's drive narrower than it should be. (I spotted this before our new neighbors moved in), which meant they needed to take land from us to make theirs wider.Up to 300 snags were found, 90% cosmetic, which I expected better. The rest were more serious and should have been sorted before being signed off. The rear garden is waterlogged. There are so many reasons I wouldn't buy again or even recommend Anwyl to anyone.

Chris and Lee excel again.

Chris Appleton & Lee Ashworth visited my property to rectify some snagging issues. What a difference it makes when you get tradesmen who know what they are doing. Chris had the sense to paint a slightly larger area (unlike the last painter) so the new paintwork blended into the old. Both Chris and Lee, as always took the time to explain their work and discuss options for the best results. They were exceptionally well mannered, clean and tidy workers. Well done Anwyl for employing these two men, it’s just a shame this standard of workmanship wasn’t applied to the original internal finish to my property.

Mill Green...Poor communicaiton & being carried out

In March 2023 we moved into our new property on the Mill Green estate. We paid an additional fee for the turf and when we arrived to view the property a few days before we were due to move in, the garden area was still a land site. We were told the landscapers would be in before we moved to complete the garden. On the day of moving, we found that the garden had been turfed, however, there were clear bumps all around the garden. Additionally, the top area of the garden next to the fencing was poorly turfed. We raised concerns with the builders and were reassured that the garden would settle and that they would get the landscapers out to fix the top area turf. This was not met despite weeks of emails to customer service and speaking with the site team. Once the garden had set after around 6 weeks, we noticed that there were bits of brick sticking out of the turf and the large bumps remained. We continue to report our concerns, however, were told that they couldn’t get hold of the landscapers despite seeing them on-site at different properties over the coming weeks. We then got to July and got so frustrated with waiting that we decided to employ contractors to complete a raised patio area at the top of the garden. During the time they were there the landscapers briefly came to assess to garden and suggested that our contractors were the ones who caused damage to the garden and they were not going to carry out the work. This was also reaffirmed by customer service as they said they consider the matter now closed. Unhappy with this, we then contacted our housing standards regulator to take the matter further. They came and assessed the garden in August and dug up portions of the garden and found a clear lack of topsoil that was insufficient to meet standards. They ordered that Anwyl must complete the work by the end of October. We thought by this point that Anwyl would finally start working with us to the matter resolved. The week that they were due to start we were told that there was a delay due to the topsoil not being ordered so would have to start the week after. That next week the Groundworkers did not show up on the day that was allocated. The work was finally completed to a sufficient standard the week after. Despite this we have had some good experiences with Anwyl and work has been completed on other parts of the property to a good standard.Going forward I think the company needs to have better communication between customers, site team, customer service and external workers. I would also advise anyone looking to buy a property with Anwyl to consider their options when paying for additional work to be carried out.

Overall good builder and would recommend

Good solid build although a few minor annoyances along the way.Office staff in after sales team not very cooperative and could do with reading their own customer care brochure.That said the site manager Ian was always willing to help and very pro active in solving issues to the customers satisfaction

We are delighted with our recent house…

We are delighted with our recent house purchase at Victoria Mills by Anwyl Homes. Right from our initial visit, Gyllian provided invaluable assistance, guiding us through the reservation process and helping us choose our options. Her friendly and excellent service set a positive tone for our experience.Furthermore, our interaction with Issac during the snag list remediation process has been exceptional. Issac's proactive approach and dedication to resolving issues promptly have truly impressed us. He consistently follows up to ensure our satisfaction with the completed tasks, making him a valuable asset to the development. Issac's friendliness and approachability have added to the positive experience we've had with Anwyl Homes. Overall, we are extremely happy with our new home and appreciate the outstanding service provided by Gyllian and Issac!

Anwyl Technician Appreciation - Pete

Anwyl Technician AppreciationThis review is specific to one of the Anwyl technicians and not Anwyl as a whole who have been extremely poor at communicating and acting to resolve issues. I can however state that Pete (Anwyl Technician) has now visited our property twice and has been nothing short of excellent with his knowledge, understanding and empathy towards the situation. All rectification work that he has completed has been done so to the highest standard and it is for this reason alone that our level of satisfaction with Anwyl has started to turn.

Disaster and Poor Communication from the start

Since buying our new build property at the Victoria mills site 2 years ago, we’ve seen 3 possibly 4 site managers. Come and go because they weren’t satisfactory, but feel this was somewhat disguised for the lack a competency of the business themselves who have yet again proven themselves a nightmare. After 2 years of fighting to get things done, we found ourselves in a bigger dilemma, as the building control hadn’t signed of the house. This has led stuff been broken in the process of these works finally being completed. Customer service fail to respond when they miss your call using comments such as “oh I wasn’t aware I needed to respond” or keeping us up-to-date on the progress of there lack of care. Overall a disappointing start, a disappointing middle and I wonder the fun we’ll have at the end? Oh and couple all this with the fact they’ve hand over site maintenance to the local authority on a site that isn’t completed meaning you will be responsible for paying for the state of the show homes? The dirt track (road leading onto the estate), the cracked curbs, the mud mounds and the lack of plants. The only plus side to it is if you SHOUT loud enough is seeing the panic as they scramble to complete what should already be completed

My experience in dealing with Anwyl

My experience in dealing with Anwyl - Mill Green site team has been a positive one. Nathan (site manager) has been approachable, ready to answer any questions I've asked. When a few of the outstanding snags haven't been completed to correct standards the team makes it a priority to get this completed within good time. The site team have been attentive to dealing with issues on the day even when they have other jobs to complete elsewhere.

Isaac and Andy - Victoria Mills

I moved into my new home at Victoria Mills last summer, and am thrilled that both Isaac and Andy (site managers?) are still in touch and as attentive as ever. After the first few months of moving in, any issues have to be reported to the office based Customer Care rather than the site staff. I recently contacted said Customer Care about what now appears to be a malfunctioning drain which had resulted in a foul smells and a blocked toilet, and, having seen the plumber/drain specialist’s van parked outside, both Andy and Isaac called at my house to enquire what the issue was. Both men have always shown to be polite, professional, respectful and go the extra mile in their roles and were so fantastically helpful with the initial snagging when I first moved in. I feel they will support me in getting the underlying issue related to the drain rectified as they also took the time to speak to the plumber in attendance. Andy and Isaac are both fantastic customer facing representatives for Anwyl and I am delighted to have made their acquaintance and wish them success in their careers.

Quality Homes, Fantastic Service

We are delighted with our Anwyl home at Winnington Place. Since the start of our house buying journey with Marie and Kelly in the sales team, we've had clear communication and support, they've both been fantastic. We love our home, it's built and finished to a high quality and our site managers Keith and Scott (and their team) have been on a mission to quickly resolve some of the minor snags across the property - they're a credit to Anwyl. We've been well looked after, and no doubt will be in future.

Great Employee

Chris Appleton, customer service technician, arrived punctually to stain block and paint the ceiling and wall where the roof had leaked in my bedroom. He was delightful, knowledgeable, tidy and personable. After having to wait a number of weeks to have have this job done, I was thrilled that he went above and beyond, noticing that the wood topping the newel post on my staircase had fallen off (this had happened over the weekend and I hadn’t yet contacted Anwyl about it) and he independently fixed it. Anwyl are lucky to have him.

After months of wait

Lee came today to check the reason for very cold lounge in our new home at Alexandra gardens. He was very professional and did his job well. He found out the problem which we were reporting for the last 6 months. The problem was in the construction which is making the living room and the room above quite cold and you could feel a draft of cold air coming through. This is in addition to many snags that have not been fixed for the last 7 months. Unfortunately he couldn’t fix it today as he needed the supplies and other logistics.I would love to have him back to fix it so that I don’t have to bear this freezing cold in-spite of paying much more than what I should, for the heating.I give 5 stars to Lee.

Winnington Place

i recently purchased a new house from Winnington Place and from start to finish it has been the best experience i have had when purchasing a new build property. Kelly and Marie in the sales office we're absolutely brilliant and kept updated every step of the way from start to finish and there customer service is second to none. I have had a couple of minor issues with the house and i mean minor as the standard is the best i've seen but Keith and Scott have been on hand and sorted the issues super quick for me. These individuals are a credit to the company and it's clear to see that customer service is very important to them all and for that i am really grateful 👍

Summers Bridge Development - Poor Customer Care

Purchased a property in September 2023 and I can state that the Sales team (Carol) and Site team (Jack) were fantastic with sorting out the snags that had been identified early on (for the most part). The main issue with Anwyl is their after care team - we have had a leaking front door every time we get heavy rain (very frequently in North Wales) since the start of November and they have been terrible at communicating with us. We have a number of other open snags and I've had to send e-mails weekly to chase them up and I will only get a reply after 2-3 weeks (if I get one). One instance included cracked grout in our en-suite shower which took them >8 weeks to resolve and they simply told us to not use that shower until it was fixed. We have draughts in the property which are causing quite substantial heat loss (2-3ºC in less than 2 hours with all windows and vents closed is not something you would expect in a new build) and they have done nothing about it or offered to complete a heat survey to review potential draughts / insulation issues so we are now looking to pay for our own report to be completed so that we can present them with the evidence. Overall, it is the after care team that have let Anwyl down because we love our home and just wish that we could get the problems fixed so that we could enjoy it to its true potential. The reality is that given the number of issues encountered, not least the leaking front door, you would expect some form of recompense by way of financial offer or at the very least prioritisation of work and a sincere apology. This is our home and having to continually report problems that we have encountered is the last thing we want to be doing but at the very least you would expect them to be resolved as quickly as possible.

We haven’t bought a home yet but we…

We haven’t bought a home yet but we will be doing in the near future.Debbie and Richard at longridge Stonebridge fold have been very supportive and approachable nothing has been too much to ask. We have visited the site countless times and they are both more than happy to take us in the available properties not just the show homes. So far nothing has been too big of an ask and they have always called back to check in when they said they would. Not pushy or “salesy” but honest when you need them to be.Richard has since left to move to another site despite being busy Debbie has continued to be available and accommodating. We hope to move into our dream Anwyl home in the near future and can not wait to be happy in our forever home.

Crossfields Development

We were kept well informed of the progress of our house by Debbie in the sales office , who was always approachable and very helpful , and we were able to move in on time.The site manager Ian , and deputy Pete, have resolved the snagging jobs during the 3 months since we moved in.The site is kept very tidy, and as clean as a building site can be kept by them, which has made settling in here much easier than we thought it would be, as we moved in during the early stages of the development. So far we have found the after care team, who became responsible after the initial 4 week following completion, to be responsive, efficient and very polite. Overall our experience has been extremely positive. Having employed a professional new house snagging firm we felt reassured that the majority of snagging issues identified in the report were cosmetic and that structurally the house was sound.We have no regrets, and love our new home.
