TrustpilotAvant homes - Odettes Point
We called in without an appointment to the Odettes point development in Keighley and received a warm welcome from Abi. She was great! Extremely knowledgeable and professional, she answered all our questions and kept us updated after our visit, we would highly recommend her! Thanks for all your help Abi.

TrustpilotViewing a property the picture made me unsure of size
Unsure of the young Avant girls name, she was lovely & informative. On showing the property I was interested in which I was happy with 2 gentleman appeared I presume the lovely one was the site manager & the other one was a workman. Lovely house but got to give it a think before I make a decision. 100% score

TrustpilotMajor issue not resolved after 7 months
We have been living in our new build since April 2022 and since August 2022, we have been unable to use our en-suite shower due to the floor dropping and causing a leak to come through our kitchen ceiling. Avant's after sales support is non-existent and we keep getting fobbed off my different people within the company. If you are looking to buy a new build, stay away from Avant Homes!

TrustpilotSmooth and easy process (until you want snagging fixed).
We bought a new house from Avant Homes in Ellis Vale Armadale and we were extremely satisfied with the whole process. Starting from booking our initial appointment right the way through to moving into our new home everyone we dealt with made sure that we had all the information we needed and that everything ran smoothly. Particularly our sales advisor Rebecca, she was more than happy to answer every query we had and went above and beyond to make sure that things were running smoothly for us.The house itself is done to an incredibly high standard and we are very happy with our move.Update:There seems to be a pretty inefficient process in getting the snagging done where you are entirely reliant on people remembering to pass information on. If you don't keep on top of following up then you will just be forgotten about.The after sales service is a complete 180 from the pre sales service.

Trustpilot3 days after And the ‘repair’ has today failed!!!
And today, after 5 months wait and 4 weeks of remedial work the botched up job has failed! Water pouring through the ceiling, so we are now in a worse situation than before - should have bought Persimmon, at least you know you’re buying crap through them

TrustpilotGreat service under challenging conditions
We bought the house during a covid lockdown and understood the build would be challenging, given the supply chain, covid and restricted access/working conditions the builders were dealing with. The house progressed very slow to start with and the communication to us could have been better, in the beginning, explaining the delay in detail - without that you just assume nothing is being done. However, in the end, we did end up moving in within the agreed timescales (just!) - which was a brilliant achievement. We have also had some teething problems since moving in but what I would say is that the site manager and assistant have been magnificent thus far and we are in progress to resolving everything. The site management team; Wayne & Oliver instil you with confidence and have explained everything to me in terms that I understand at all stages of the build they are a credit to Avant. Of course, we have had to make a few compromises with regards to options due to availability/supply but again, I can't really mark the developer down on these points as it's outside their control. The alternative options were high quality if not exactly what we wanted. Overall given the circumstances and assuming all the snagging issues are resolved! I would struggle to mark Avant down at all but clearly, the main plus points for me were the site management team who were friendly, honest and performed mini-miracles to get us in on time. Great effort Wayne & Oliver - thank you.

TrustpilotEfficient and Trustworthy.
From start to finish Avant were brilliant. Saw the showhome on Easter Sunday, and reserved it moments later, with the process being explained impeccably. Since the move in, any issue has been solved immediately, and the development is well looked after. Very happy in my Avant home.

TrustpilotBrilliant experience with Avant Homes
Our move to our new home was a straightforward process with great support and help from Avant throughout.After moving into our home, we encountered a few minor snags that were handled quickly and efficiently by all the teams involved.We have had a few issues since then and the team has been excellent, prompt in providing information about products and suppliers.As a whole, we have had an excellent experience with Avant Homes, and we would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a new home.

We are absolutely over the moon with our Avant home at the Hawthornden development in Rosewell. This is our fifth new build over the years (3 taylor wimpey, 1 Cala and now the Avant). The Avant home has been the best quality, built to a very high standard with a good finish inside. In our experience this is hugely down to the site manager here (Mike), we feel that a good/bad site manager can make or break a development . Avant are lucky to have a man of his calibre working for them. Snagging wise we have only had silly little bits and pieces and are happy with any repairs that were needed. All of our friends and family that have been to see our new home have been bowled over with it. We would highly recommend buying an Avant home.

TrustpilotIn covid everything was rushed
In covid everything was rushed. This is rubbish. The company wanted out of the site and abandoned everything. If you sign up and they say there will be snagging repairs...they won't do it. Look at the even aspect of draws, kitchen cupboards. Gaps on windows, wrong cement on windows, huge gaps on internal windows and door architraves. No instructions for ovens, or anything else. The vibe is clever but question absolutely everything.

Today we went to reserve a plot at Cotchett Village Mickleover and was very well assisted by Shomala Indleep. She made us feel very comfortable all throughout and was very open and understanding with all my queries. She was just a cover for someone who was really meant to be with and despite having other clients around, she didn't make us feel intimidated or pressured. She made the reservation process very smooth. Looking forward to a more pleasurable experience with Avant and also looking forward to working with Claire Hodges for the next few steps of the process!
