TrustpilotExceptional customer service from Jacqui
Jacqui has been so accommodating and helpful, there is nothing she won’t do to make the process of buying our new home easy. There has been some bumps on the road when selling our own property and Jacqui has been there to reassure us.

They advertise on their website that their houses go through detailed quality checks but the multiple professionals didn't pick up the error in my boundary until I raised the issue. No CO alarm, so unsure how NHBC inspector passed the house. 1 meter long debris and other obvious mess left in the home which again shows no proper inspections took place. Turf laid over concrete hoping I would not find out. They don't follow NHBC good practice nor their own 'Consistent Quality Approach' guide and use the excuse that it's within tolerance. Meaning subpar standards is fine for them. Total of 80 issues raised for a small 2 bed so far in a span of a few months. Also, the sales and their manager are not to be trusted. Communicate via email or recorded telephone calls where possible is my rule now.

I am here once again writing up a petty complaint because my agent are refusing to fix issues and pointing fingers at me. I have all the proof in the world but unfortunately trust pilot does not allow me to upload pictures. Incompetent consisting off hamfisted Scottish builders who can’t even do one simple thing. And these Scot’s pride themselves slagging of “made in china” products…as if your handy “Scottish” work and craftsmanship is any better. Total joke

TrustpilotHouse still defective and roads unfinished over 2 years on
I still have many outstanding defects with my property after living at Connect@Halfway (Sheffield) now for over 2 and a half years. I’m constantly receiving false promises from them to rectify the defects.The estate roads remain unfinished years after the final property completed. Very, very poor after sales service. Once they’ve got your money they’re not interested. I’ve damaged three tyres on raised manholes in the snow which TW refuse to reimburse.My advice if you’re buying is to get any major issues resolved BEFORE you hand your money over.

From the first point of contact with Carol, at Lunar Rise, it’s been nothing but a pleasure to speak to her. Nothing is ever too much, she is honest, professional, takes the time to really understand what you are looking for in your next home, and everything is delivered with a smile and a warm, sunny disposition. The development looks wonderful and is great value for money, being built under the new building regs etc. Highly recommend!

My experience with Taylor Wimpy has left much to be desired. Despite being initially attracted to Lancaster Square due to the promise of a reasonable service charge, Taylor Wimpy's failure to uphold their end of the bargain has been disappointing.The quality of construction in my flat is subpar, evidenced by frequent issues with the water supply and boiler. Despite recommendations from professionals, Taylor Wimpy refuses to address these concerns adequately, jeopardizing resident comfort and safety.Furthermore, Taylor Wimpy's communication and responsiveness leave much to be desired. Concerns raised regarding missing pipe work and malfunctioning gates have gone unaddressed for weeks, demonstrating a lack of accountability and commitment to resident satisfaction.Overall, Taylor Wimpy's misleading pricing tactics and negligent construction practices make them an unreliable choice for property development. Prospective buyers should exercise caution and consider alternative developers with a better track record of quality and integrity.

TrustpilotDisgraceful Company
Disgraceful Company, With only there interest at heart! I'm a single parent who thought I was buying my dream home for me and my children instead ive been battling for 3 years affecting my health and life. I have lived in my home for over 3 years now and still have a garden that is completely un-usuable to now again be told its down to homeowner maintenance and not the fact my garden is predominantly clay based. Customer care does not exist for this company, its never there fault and you have to battle for anything to be put right. Each time I have raised an issue it has been a long old battle for them to actually listen to my concerns and accept they are in the wrong as every time myself, my children and my pets have been to blame and then after an investigation it has become apparent that it was indeed Taylor Wimpeys Fault.

Awful customer service and also disrespectful contractors who come in to do a job and make the issue 10x worse. Ignored by the customer service department, garden is unusable house has over 100 snags. TW never does anything they say they will never turn up to co ordinate works it’s like I’ve moved into a reno not a new build the amount of work we’ve had to have done is unreal and as I say garden unusable and TW no idea how to rectify it so are now ignoring us

TrustpilotCouldnt build a pigsty
Having bought a home from TW in 2017, in the first 18 months we had to have 3 new kitchens fitted, all three bathrooms, retiling, all the floors up, garden dug up four times due to waterlogging, it turns out our home has insufficient foundatio s to even hold a one story garage up, TW simply ignored the plans for the house. Do not be fooled in thinking that the nhbc will help you here as anything reported to the builder within 18 months is the responsibility of the builder to put right and nhbc simply refuse to get involved as long as TW have made a promise to repair, even if that repair is wrong and not legal. The only way is to take these people to court at your own expense. This company does not care about the impact it has on family life, rescources your emotional or mental wellbeing. This company is abusive and really should be held account table for the crap they churn out. I don't even authorise a one star review.There are hundreds upon hundreds of people that I have spoken to personally who all face serious issues like us , who don't have the means to take these builders to court and no one else can enforce the builder to do anything. TW force ppl to sign non disclosure agreements in return for doing repairs, it's bribery and abuse. That way noone realises how bad this company is as there's no record of itnand people keep nsivley buying these homes thinking this company really can't be that bad. Let me assure you, they are.

Note their verified (invited reviews) score high. Suspicious?It just gets worse.I tried to raise a complaint with them about the ill mannered rep they sent together with a contract plumber who was equally as bad due to his lies and contradictions.Head office refused to investigate their own staff who they are responsible for. Passing the buck to anyone but themselves.They are an utter bunch of wasters. SERIOUSLY. Look elsewhere. As their reply says they are not interested in customer care. Utter laughing stock and just don't care about service

TrustpilotLack of communication
Overall, TW have been ok at solving issues when we initially moved it. We had to come to an agreement over a few things but it was all sorted. Their communication is something they can improve on. As more and more of the development opened up and more traffic appeared, they added additional signage on shared drive ways (numbered bays) and a sign on our street that says “no parking” after several issues. I contacted them again recently to ask for more appropriate signage of the street name. As I am constantly getting incorrect mail, food deliveries, groceries, Amazon, dpd you name it, I have had it. I get them for “road” and I live on “drive”. Initially this was fine, mistakes can happen. But it is often 4/5 times a week. To the point it was disrupting sleep - my partner and I work shifts during the night so sleep in the day. I contacted TW to ask for help, given the additional signage put in place before, thinking they could help again. I should explain we live up a dead end with no sign other than the one right at the beginning of the main road which is high up a lamp post and difficult to see. They have got back to say - no and no real reason given. I’ve asked to speak to someone regarding an explanation and all they can do is tell me they are satisfied with their decision. Yet again, poor communication from TW which is not a surprise as this seems to be a tactic they use. Customer services take a week to send a one line email and don’t even have the decency to call back. I’m not asking for something they’ve never been before so I don’t really know how they can reach that conclusion. They also asked me to go and look for the street signs - that’s not my job. They have staff for that. I am keen to speak with someone from TW and hope this trust pilot review can help me.

TrustpilotSwordy Park, Alnwick Northumberland. Elusive Mr David Ambercrombie. (Director TW)
This is our second family home we have purchased through Taylor Whimpey, first house was a great experience, some problems as you would expect regarding finishes and warranty but they got sorted. Second home, where do you start!! Our home has been flooded out twice with surface water coming from the back of a field, this problem has been going on for nearly a year and still no resolution. Our garage has been flooded eleven times now and everything inside is mouldy, rusty and damaged. TW have stop responding to emails, phone calls and their emergency contact number is terrible. Mr David Ambercrombie who is one of the directors for TW has now decided to stop replying to any emails and calls. The credibility of this man is terrible, I don’t know how he looks at his self in the mirror. He’s a liar and deceitful, full of false promises.Hopefully he’ll have the decency to make things right. My advice to anyone is when purchasing a home from this company, make sure every conversation is put in writing for evidence based, so if there is a problem big or small you have a record. This is now being handed over the solicitors and Northumberland County Council for investigation soon as this is crazy. Let’s hope we get some sort of a reply….
