TrustpilotI’m sorry, I’m sorry. Blah blah blah blah
I’ve raised 6 Trustpilot in the last two weeks and this is the standard reply. It’s pathetic and TW aftercare is terrible standard. We are sorry for your continued dissatisfaction and we'll share your feedback with the regional office to ensure that they make contact with you and provide you an update on all your issues reported. Nobody from HO has bothered to phone me to apologise, agree I’ve had a shambolic aftercare and mucked about and offered me compensation. All they say is they will fix it but they don’t. This is why you will never be a 5 star builder compared to your competitors. TW will do the bare minimum and build the house then offer you a second rate aftercare. So angry with TW.

We are sorry to see this is how you are feeling. As the regional office have been in contact in line with our complaints process and as compensation is not being offered as the works are being addressed, we are sorry we are unable to help you further. We'll share your feedback with the regional office in the meantime.Ruby

TrustpilotLancaster square Ruislip
When I was buying my flat in 2023 the TW told me that service charge is about £1300 year. one year on, now the real service charge is £2200. This is their trick to sell flats They lied to sell their flats. One of the reasons I bought the flat was the cheaper service charge.

I was lucky enough to meet Simon and Rachael, when I went to look at the new Show Homes at Brightwell Lakes. I found them to be very knowledgable, and was very impressed at all the forward thinking which had been put in place at this development - the Air Source Heating and the Electric Car Charging points.

Friendly service and clear information about the house, fees and add-on. We moved in to Netherton Grange near Bristol.We appreciated their availability over the weekend, as it made things much easier to arrange for us.They explained us all details about the house and they promptly provided us with all the information we needed to set up our house insurance cover.

TrustpilotAftercare is a shambles
Been in house since July 21. The house is lovely and TW do build nice houses but the aftercare is a shambles and a disaster. Once they get your money god help you. We have had issues with garden sloping and not been advised of this. Garden gate taking ages to get fitted. Mixer tap we paid for which is still not fitted. Paint on door still not removed. No updates, no refunds back or no compensating all they ever say is sorry. I`ve been in contact with the customer service director and that was a waste of time. Even the builders and contractors are saying its a shambles as no one has a clue what is going on. One guy been building houses for 30 years and he says its the worst site he has ever been on.

TrustpilotConsistently mislead, ignored and dismissed
My husband and I reserved a house last February with a completion date of December or January. It was obvious in late summer the completion date wasn’t going to be met but we kept being told it was realistic and we would be in the house on time. Early October we were told almost overnight of a 3 month delay. This simply doesn’t happen overnight so they could have been honest with us some considerable time beforehand. Since then every build stage we have been told of has been missed and the sales staff seem to struggle to remember the excuses they gave us the last time we spoke to them and continually change their story. If you don’t lie you don’t need a good memory !!! Our site is getting towards the end of the build and other sites clearly have many more people working on them We’re sick of being lied too, ignored and fobbed off - nobody in the NE Division we have dealt with so far has proven to be trustworthy and they have all shown absolutely no consideration for us. We aren’t interested in the usual response that the local team are aware of our unhappiness - they’re already fully aware but simply couldn’t care less as the email my husband received today proved, it didn’t address any of our issues and his calls to the manager were ignored today

TrustpilotNot a fan
Not a fan. Bought a Wimpey house 13 years ago and had nothing but costly problems with the thermal solar, plumbing issues, poor fitting flooring , cheap fittings etc. Thankfully good neighbours but wouldn't buy a new build again - been put off for life. Another plus point though - the house is still standing!

TrustpilotOur excellent site agent
Our site agent, Lyndsay Wood, could not have been more welcoming towards my wife and I, more helpful as she guided us through the first stage of our purchase of our new house, nor could she have been more understanding and accommodating of my particular requirements as a disabled person.We both found this very reassuring are very grateful.

TrustpilotI liked that my viewing of the 3 bed housing options at Ockley Park
I liked that my viewing of the properties was relaxed and unpressured. Measuring up the garage and then the agent suggesting that I fetch my car and actually drive it into the garage to satisfy myself it would fit with room to open the driver door enough to get in and out put my mind at rest

A terrible developer. The window sill is leaking, and after an inspection in April, they removed my window sill board, leaving a large hole of 30×120cm. I have emailed the developer's customer service department over ten times, but they haven't responded. To this day, no one has come to fix it

TrustpilotDon’t buy if the developer is using Firstport
I have a property in Dartford @ the bridge development. Please be mindful when buying properties from these people. Taylor wimped should be ashamed using companies like Firstport. They literally will take money every month in service charges but do very little to nothing around the place. Rubbish everywhere. Weeds as tall as me. Please don’t buy 😡😡
