Foresters View- Crich:

Foresters View- Crich:Wow, what can we say. We don't know what we love more...our new home or Ann Lawler, our sales executive! We dropped in and spoke to Ann where she let us look around the show homes and took us around the estate a few weeks ago. We loved the builds and knew we wanted to buy. Ann was not pushy at all and listened to our needs. Ann has a wonderful demeanor and a bubble personality in which she is captivating. She certainly knows her stuff, whether that be the different styles of houses and the names of every carpet, tile and kitchen design! Ann knows hers customers well and has an excellent rapport with them, which we gathered by speaking to a number of people on the estate, who could only say positive things about Ann and their experience. Ann is an excellent sales executive and also a credit to Harron Homes. She has gone above and beyond to meet our needs and we have felt extremely supported through the start of our buying process. What an excellent ambassador for Harron Homes! Thank you Ann. You made it happen! Can't wait until you call us to pick up the keys!!! Sarah and Lyndsey xx

Forest Reach :Don’t just take my word for it!!!!

This review is a balanced honest review based on our journey from start to finish with Harron homes. We went to the show home last March 2020 and viewed the show home and available plots. We decided on a plot to be finished on time with the help to buy changes. Were told our first plot wouldn’t be ready but our second choice would be. However Harron would never contact even though we paid a £250 deposit to secure our second plot choice. Heard nothing for 3 months and then was told they had sold our plot we had secured with a paid deposit ????? That’s just the start of the incompetence and horrendous journey. We secured another plot and the buying experience was rushed. We had 1 day to choose our choices felt rushed and was no personal customer service. Made our rushed choices and the property was being built. NoInvite to visit the property we ended up having to go in early a week before to see what the finished result was. Well ....... the back fence was smashed in and all over the garden completely damaged. The grass was poorly put down flooded and no flood protection was put in place. Imagine going to see your dream home and the fence is smashed all over your new garden. This was the best one Harron ( proven with photographs) lied and said a contractor had accidentally hit the fence with a digger. Couldn’t make it up. Entered the property the contractor had fitted in the living room windows sills and did further wood work on a fresh new laid carpet with no cover and left the wood shavings and mess on a brand newCarpet. Photographs to prove this. Why lay a new carpet and do work on that carpet without a cover unbelievable. The paint work shocking looked like a three year old has painted it and that’s a insult to a three year old horrendous. Harron agreed and got another painter in to apparently re paint the house. A 4 bedroom house re painted and glossed within 8 hours and one person on the job. Guess what looked worse than it did before shock horror on that one. We moved in with no choice and have had over 30 snags still not completed. Apparently it’s company policy that trades can’t enter due to COVID restrictions? Can you explain under what law or guidance under the Coronavirus Act prevents you from completing this ?? You won’t because it doesn’t exist. It’s a last minute made up policy to cover the fact they can’t be bothered to complete the work. As per another review our garden was flooded poorly laid no drainage and up to £1800 on re landscaping the garden with another £600 to pay to sort the mess Harron left. We all can’t be wrong the list of issues I could go on and on. Below is a flavour of what to expect from the award winning home makers.1. Front door still broken lock doesn’t work door doesn’t shut and hasn’t been fitted correctly 2. Poor paint work ( to suggest that we had a full repaint before we entered the property) all you did is attempt to rectify a problem that shouldn’t have been there so how is this a bonus as Chris is suggesting that we had a re paint. The re paint is of a poor standard and hardly better than before. The doorframes are peeling the living room door is peeling the glossing is of a poor standard the back door is a mess. If that’s your standard for painting then I suppose that’s your standard ? 3. Bath doesn’t retain water and broke 4. Kitchen cupboards damaged 5. The shower in the en suite is blocked ( and yes we took the picture with the plug out ) so Chris suggesting it’s a minor block it isn’t 6. Painting where the leak was hasn’t been re paintedWhen I challenged this with the assistant site manager Harron Promised he wouldn’t Email us again then he decided to email us against the wishes of his boss and sent a rude email saying he was glad he never had to contact us again. No apologies from Harron but to have an employee of Harron email you and say in a childish tone “ glad i have to never contact you again “ This is a customer who has spent over £250,000 not 10 quid on a jumper from Tesco My advice buy a older property use the government 95% scheme if you need to and avoid Harron Homes. Just read the reviews the 4 1 star review this year on trust pilot we all can’t be wrong. Just waiting for the cut and paste replyHi Stuart and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We understand your concerns and would like to take this opportunity to reassure you that we take customer feedback very seriously.Please contact the site team or North Midlands customer services in the first instance to discuss any issues you may be experiencing directly. Waiting for the cut and paste reply as above guess what already contacted your north midlands customer service team who took 3 weeks to reply apologised and sorted nothing

Michelle was a huge part of the great service we received from start to finish through the Thoresby Vale development. Later in the handover we also had support from Meryll. The site have been fairly responsive to snags and Niall ensures he does his best to keep site clear and tidy whilst construction continues.

Harron Home - Foresters View, Crich

As a family we couldn’t fault Harron Homes and the experience we have received. We moved into our new build a couple of months ago and the whole process, since securing the house back in October has been faultless. We could not have asked for more out of Ann, our sales rep - she has gone above and beyond at every stage of the process even until recently supplying suggestions about slight issues we may have. (She even supplied our kids chocolate at Easter and is always on hand with an extra snack for our eldest whenever we pop by!). Both Paul and Wayne, our site managers have been easily approachable and have corrected any minor issue we have found thus far on the property. We were hesitant about purchasing at first due to the bad press you may have heard, but we know none of it. Very impressed, keep up the good work guys!

This is my fourth review with no response

This is my fourth review. Since my last review on 8th March, Ive chased weekly and despite being told that my major snagging items would be addressed, I’ve still not being given any update on when these works will be commencing. These were first reported on 5th September 2020 and have been chased weekly ever since. And before Harron respond asking for more info,l claiming they have no info, it’s plot 29 High banks.

I had a fantastic experience with Penny at Harron Homes. Her knowledge of properties in Retford was impressive, and she provided thorough information about the houses provided us online information about houses we were looking to buy. Penny's expertise made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend her service and welcoming approach.

Very very happy buyers here

Very very happy buyers here! We just moved into our second home with Harron; after moving into the first one 18 months ago, we wanted a much bigger one and secured it much to our satisfaction since the latest purchase ran into some dificulties which went up to the Sales Director, Nathalie, who got on the phone a Sunday evening to reassure us the company will do everything the can to help us secure our dream house and they did just that. The house is sublime and we trust Harron will address, in due course, our concerns and snaggings as the house was delivered only 3 weeks ago. It won't be easy under lockdown but they have shown we can trust in their commitment to furfil their contractual responsibilities and beyond.A house buy can be a daunting experience but the 2 we had with Harron were exceptional thanks to the ladies at the Sales office in Sandlands Park, Nottingham, especially Aisa Hanncok, Rachel Davies including Nikki (previously). These ladies are "stars" in the service they provide and are so supportive in doing it. Site manager Adam Booth and his assistant John are always available to listen and assist where and whenever called upon.I've already recommended Harron Homes houses and services and will continue to do so.Mighty thanks ladies, all the way to the top :)From a very satisfied family owner of a Warkworth.Rubin, Esther and the kids

Smooth and easy experience

Excellent experience so far in our journey buying our first homes at the Thorpe Meadows development. Jeanett has been very helpful throughout the process, from reservation, to selecting our options and helping with the paperwork. Good communication throughout, including the opportunity to meet with the site manager and view the plot before completion. All questions have been answered in a timely fashion, and overall the experience has been smooth. Thanks!

We reserved our house with Sharon on 1st March 2020 just before the first lockdown. Sharon could not do enough for us and was very supportive and reassuring every step of the way, throughout the whole process. Nothing was to much trouble or a silly question. Paul, the site manager was very knowledgable when we did our home demo and answered all of our questions. He was on hand to show and tell us anything we needed to know. We completed in July 2020 in the middle of the pandemic and it couldn’t have gone any smoother!! It went like a dream. We picked the keys up after lunch and were greeted with a lovely hamper and card from site. This was a lovely touch!! Sharon is a credit to the company and deserves to be recognised for her customer care, knowledge and commitment to her job. I would 100% recommend Harron to any potential buyer!!Since completing, Scott has taken over the site. The whole team on site are very courteous towards residents and are always very friendly.

So impressed by the staff at Brierley Heath particularly Julie and Karen. They have been so supportive and absolutely down to earth, any little stress we have had as first time buyers, potentially owning our own harron home in august, they have managed to handle this and make us feel more relaxed. Not only that, we have searched far and wide for a house we want, and these homes are stunning! They have everything we want & more! Thanks guys!

Our Dream home.

Moved in to our dream home on Friday (plot 185). It is absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t be happier. Aisa and Rachael were brilliant through the whole process, they went above and beyond to answer all our questions and queries! And site manager John has been really helpful and friendly, anytime we have contacting him he has always been really prompt with his replies. Up to yet we have had a fabulous experience with Harron Homes (Sandlands Park, Hucknall). We are bound to have a few snags, but I have every faith that John and the team will resolve these for us.

Since the ordering our new home back in October, Alastair has been an excellent adviser and a pleasure to work with. This was then added to, with Sylvia joining the team.From offering a very good move in package, along with being there for all enquires, we couldn’t ask for more.Whilst we cannot plan for bad weather/ effects of CoVid, hoping the next few months go as smooth, for a move in date as originally planned.Thank you to you both :)

Superb Customer Care

I have just moved into my beautiful home on the Kings Croft development! It was not an easy move due to complications with my own sale. However Victoria and Wendy kept me sane and did everything they could to help; chasing my chain, giving advice and providing any information I needed. Thank you both so much! You are stars! I would also like to give a shout out to Zak the site manager who pulled this beautiful house together! I absolutely love it! It's perfect! The workmanship and attention to detail is superb. Thank you. Lastly I'd just like to say how friendly and welcoming everyone is on the site, I also received lovely welcome treats and the new site manager has already checked in with me to ensure all is ok! Harron Homes have exceeded my expectations. Professional, friendly and definitely builders who go the extra mile in all aspects. Superb customer care.

Great service. Happy customers

We recently purchased from Harron Homes, utilising the brilliant part exchange scheme they offer. This meant we were able to stay in our old home whilst waiting for our new home to be built. With everything that happened last year this was perfect. Throughout the whole process the sales team at York Vale Gardens were excellent in keeping us up to date and offered us regular visits to the site to see the process of our house being built. We were able to add a range of upgrades to our house on top of the already nice options they offer as standard. Once we moved in the site manager was excellent in fixing the few snags we had. He also made regular trips to check everything is fine.

No customer service, concerning issues and zero transparency

In the days before completion we were offered a very quick demo of our house with the site manager. The house was still incomplete and dirty. We were told the house would be deep cleaned within the week and snags attended to with follow up visits booked in. When we moved in, any customer service essentially fell off a cliff edge. The quality of the finish of our house is extremely poor and it was never cleaned. It is so clear the completion of our house was rushed to meet an organisational deadline. This was made worse by the immense pressure put on us by Harron Homes to complete before Christmas. Our back garden is littered with debris and a scaffolding plank. There is paint on the floor, doors, sockets and windows throughout our home. There was still dust from where holes had been drilled! Our growing snag list includes shoddy paint and plaster work throughout, missing and cracked tiles, skirting boards coming away, fault plug sockets, doors that don't shut, to name a few things. Incredibly poor craftsmanship. Regarding the cleaning and snagging, we have since learnt that Harron Homes were aware, long before we were told this, that these would not take place due to restrictions regarding COVID-19. We are well aware of the risks associated with tradesman entering people's homes at this time and appreciate why this is not possible. However, what is not acceptable, is being lied to about this to put pressure on us to complete our move and make sure we didn't back out. Following our move, we have also uncovered necessary works to ensure proper drainage and subsequently the internet connection had not been approved or even started! This has led to unknown delays of now months on from moving in. Very limited communication only following a lot of effort on our part. There has been zero transparency about this and very worrying about how these homes were signed off in the first place. There is no other way to describe this other than having been purposefully misled and lied to which makes us wonder what Harron Homes are hiding. We have tried to raise a complaint at every opportunity which has not been addressed. What is deeply concerning on all accounts, is the level of deceit and lack of openness and transparency. The impact of this is that we have lost all faith in Harron Homes and their ability to resolve these issues at a local level. The responses we have received to these concerns so far have been woefully inadequate, and the bits of paper we keep getting through the door with 'updates' (further delays), addressed to the homeowner, is not an acceptable customer service strategy. Nor is sending unhappy customers you have not taken the time to speak with, a customer satisfaction survey! I imagine your customer care team may want to get in touch - We have already raised one informal complaint, a formal complaint and rang and asked someone to contact me and I have not yet heard from anyone.UPADATE - I have provided Harron Homes the information they need to demonstrate I am a genuine customer. Please see that any reputable organization would not begin their response with trying to put doubt in readers minds as to the genuineness of a complaint, they really do start as they mean to go on.

Beautiful Homes with a catch

Review Altered - Initially, we had a great experience, the sales team were very helpful and did whatever they could to help us get in. The house itself (when it gets finished) will be lovely but after completion the story changes completely.After Moving in to what we thought was going to be (an ought to be) a perfect new build is finished to a standard that you would expect a child to do. Paint is everywhere; the floor, on the doors, the kitchen cupboards the tiles and the sockets the sockets. The plaster work is sloppy at best with gouges in the walls and cracks across the ceiling. on top of this there are doors with missing latches, doors that don't fit, doors which have bowed or bubbled and doors without handles. Tiles missing from the bathrooms (both in the shower and from the walls) and leaking sinks The house hadn't even been cleaned before we moved in! We were told on completion that the site manager would get in touch to sort out snags within a few days but they knew several days before that this wouldn't happen and that their management had already made the decision to not allow contractors into homes except for emergency works.On top of problems with the house itself, there are issues with the services. Prior to completion we were told that Openreach hadn't connected up the internet but this would be sorted within a few weeks (2 or 3) but now we're in we have discovered (through our own digging with Openreach) that the fault was with Harron Homes not laying cables for the internet and they can't give us a date as to when they will do this as they haven't even got planning permission for where they want to lay them! We were told there wasn't going to be a path put in and had to sign a letter to the NHBC giving our consent to approve the house on the provision that this would be done by the end of January... again, this has not been done and no date can be given as to when it will be.Before completion the communication was excellent but once they got our money it became non-existent. All our chasing gets met with "we don't have an answer but will keep you updated" but the updates never come. There seems to be a culture of get them in and fob them off, letters put through the door on the day they tarmac the road if you get a letter at all.Granted we are in a Global Pandemic and it is difficult if not impossible to get people into the house to rectify this but the fact of the matter is that we have been kept in the dark and lied to. Again this is an altered review as our experience before moving in was excellent but after completion we have been forgotten about. Left in a house with paint everywhere, broken doors, missing tiles, cracked plaster and no internet and no date as to when any of this, let alone all of it, will be resolved. The excitement and joy of our new house has been tarnished by sloppy workmanship and poor communication and we are not alone, all the buyers of first phase homes are in the same position.If you choose to buy one of these properties (as the show homes are lovely) I would be prepared for an uphill struggle to get the minimum of what you pay for or accept your new build will look like its been lived in for years.

Thoresby Vale Edwinstowe

We have recently completed on the Thoresby Vale site in Edwinstowe. I can fully recommend buying your home from Harron at thoresby vale. As a first time buyer, we had alot of questions and needed alot of guidance / advice but Jo & Michelle have been amazing from start to finish and nothing was to much to ask from reserving to even now we have completed, they really take care and time in understanding your personal situation and even making sure your home is right for when you move in. We missed a couple of appointments but we were consistently contacted and recieved many photos of the progress which was great and made us feel involved still. Then in terms of site, Niall is brilliant in his work and also shows his passion for making sure the homes are right which was a big thing to us, and our snag list (very short / minor bits) he is more than accommodating to sort for us so this is a big relief when buying a new build home. Jo, Michelle and Niall are a true credit to Harron and have really made things amazing for us. Thanks guys!

We purchased at The Thornberries estate. We are very happy with our home. That is not so say that’s it’s perfect and Harron certainly have their faults. Some of the brickwork to the garden wall is of a pretty poor standard, and all the properties on the estate seem to have their quirks. However, I do not know of a person on the estate who regrets buying their home, in spite of the issues that everyone has faced. All in all, not perfect but maybe not as bad as some of the other reviews would suggest. All I would say, if buying fromHarron do not expect perfection.

Our experience with Harron Homes…

Our experience with Harron Homes started off shaky, with a few different changes in staff. However, then Ann Lawler came along and took over the Forester's View Development in Crich and we're so glad she did! We wouldn't have managed to get our house without Ann, as she managed to step in, understand what had happened prior to her starting and managed to get us our dream home sorted, along with a part exchange deal too! From reserving to completing, the whole process only took 10 weeks, including the part exchange. Ann is fab, great at communication, friendly and is always a text or a phone call away. We've had a few little concerns but are in the midst of getting these sorted and our next step is to get our list of snags sorted.Thanks Ann! x
