Love the house and layout BUT it’s been built terribly bad. The windows are shocking the house is freezing and there’s a system in what they don’t know how it operates leaving us with no extraction in any bathrooms or kitchen since last February. The wall will end up going mouldy. Terrible builder who do not care about customers.

TrustpilotRoads unfinished
Although the sales and small snagging experience was generally positive, the roads on my estate (barley gate) are unfinished still after years. Multiple owners have complained to Avant ref this yet still no timescale

Hello AndrewThank you very much for getting in touch. We are committed to hearing from our customers and taking their feedback seriously.It is my understanding that the reason the roads and remaining footpaths at Barley Gate are not completed is due to some issues with the sewers. However these issues have been noted and have been passed on to the relevant people to take further steps. Apologies if this has not been communicated to you and other residents. I have forwarded your comments to the regional team and the customer care team for the Barley Gate development, and the relevant people should contact you with further updates.Other than this issue, we hope that you are enjoying your Avant Home. Kind regardsAvant Homes

TrustpilotTerrible company
Terrible company, terrible customer service. Once you have parted with your money, they are no longer interested. Be prepared to have correspondence ignored and snags outstanding for months. Sub par finishes to internal and external finishes and the general estate including roads and shared spaces. Steer clear.

Jacqueline @ Jackton green was absolutely fantastic today. She answered all our questions explained the whole process to us and was really friendly and personable. She was very knowledgable of the area and explained a lot about the building works and plans for the site.

TrustpilotTerrible company
Poor build quality. Terrible customer service. Tell you they’ll turn up on X date to resolve an issue and don’t show. Tell you a pack of lies when you’re looking to buy. Don’t manage the estate when they’re contractually obliged to (grass cutting, repairs etc). Absolute shambles of a company. Avoid at all cost

TrustpilotThe best way to deal with Avant
The best way to deal with Avant, is too assume everything is a lie. 7 years to surface a road, constant fight over ground maintenance. Endless lists of snagging, with a standard ‘home owner’s responsibility’ even when under guarantee. 7 years on, still uncovering dodgy wiring, repairing leak, bodged gutter… the list is endless!

TrustpilotWynyard is a mess
Live near their estate in Wynyard and the public areas are a mess. The poor residents have been forced to maintain the area so their children can play. Been told it’s their responsibility as the site has not been adopted yet. Very sad as the estate could have been a great place to live.

This is relevant to the Lowry Development in Seaburn currently an on going development My only comment I would like to voice on my experience with Avant (sometimes less is more ) so far from reserving the plot on September 2021 till moving in at the end of May 2022 is the assistant site manager Keith Croudace and site team are excellent.

Great at the start until the money is handed over. unfortunately, the aftercare is appalling. been through the 3 stage complaints process and still no further along. It's been over 2 years since we lived here and the snag list has been over 40 issues. still waiting for a new front door since last year (due to leaking when it rains)

TrustpilotDisappointing
From the piont of purchase then delays to the build followed by months and months of snagging due to carelessness and what can only be described as shoddy workmanship... The whole Avant experience has been woefully underwhelming. If any of my friends or colleagues asked me about Avant I would recommend they try another house builder to spend their hard earned money with.

Just had Laura come and finish the last of our jobs, she's professional and reliable and her work is outstanding. She's great for advice. As someone who is a non DIYer who has to call her dad down from Scotland I appreciate her knowledge, So thanks! She's a real assist to your team!

TrustpilotEasy to Deal With
The process of purchasing a home through Avant at Danetre Place could not have been easier. Plenty of communication throughout the build including photos, and Natalie J in the sales office always keeps on top of any and all requests. Highly recommended!

After some re-tiling in our two bathrooms Andy Jones came to reapply silicon as required. Came on time and was informative and helpful and noticed the front door needed adjustment, which he did. Great service from Andy. Many thanks.
