Hi Tracey,I completely understand your frustration at this situation and can only apologise the inconvenience caused on this occasion. Communication is something we pride ourselves on and we regret that on this occasion the communication between the site team and sales team had broken down. This is something we endeavor to work on with the team, and would like to offer you another opportunity to view the Malmo plot should you still be interested.Please get in touch to rearrange the viewing if this is still something you'd like. Many thanks,Strata

TrustpilotFirst class repair work undertaken
Our top floor stairs and front door needed fixing after moving in at the end of March 2024. The workmen that Strata recently sent over for the two days, Barry and Mally were excellent. They took the repairs seriously and worked hard to correct the mistakes made during the initial build. My partner and I are very happy with their work.

TrustpilotOur Strata house has quickly become our home
Just moved into our strata home at Belong Eckington the whole experience was eased by the outstanding professionalism of Sarah our customer experience manager. Her bright and cheerful personality combined well with her product knowledge and willingness to her. She kept us well informed throughout the process. We love our new home and would recommend Strata and particularly Sarah to any potential buyers.

TrustpilotAfter care lacks substance, amongst generally everything else!
We live on the Strata Definition site in Derby. We’ve been reporting an issue relating to surface access water drainage from the green opposite our house. The green is pretty much clay soil so when it rains the water drains to the lower end of the green, which runs into the private access way (owned by us) onto the property. This has caused subsidence to my driveway and pathway to my frontDoor. Upon investigation, it was found that strata has re-laid an area of the green directly onto concrete that should’ve been removed before laying the new soil and grass. With this in mind, the water has no where to drain other than gushing onto and across my property. I contacted Strata and furnished them quite an evidence pack of causation and subsequent damage (including the area on the green that I dug up to demonstrate grass being laid in top of concrete) but they’re just not bothered. In fact, they’ve stopped responding to my emails and blamed the issue on ‘recent wet weather’ when I’ve actually been reporting this to them for nearly 5 years.

Barry came to the house to fix the bath and it needed to be resealed. While he was at the house he also noticed the front door needed fixing due to it sticking which he did as well. Barry was very polite, professional and did a supper job.

TrustpilotMisleading sales team
The sales team tell you in that the handover term state that payments to the site management company will happen when the site is finished. 1 year into moving, with development still going on and meadfleet hit us with charges. This is a widespread problem across the whole verve site with ever resident saying they have been told the same thing.Read every page of the terms and conditions because what your being sold is not what your signing for. Watch out for unfair and deceptive sales tactics
DANIEL · 19 March 2024
Agent replied · 14 June 2024
Hi DanielThank you for taking the time to leave a review and for raising your concerns. Our Experience Managers are unable to provide any confirmed dates for the management company handover at the time of reservation.There is no documentation which states that the payments to the management company will begin when the development is complete.Similarly, at the point of contract, we cannot give specific dates for handover, which is clearly shown in section 3 of your Deed of Covenant.As confirmed in the communication from the management company, Meadfleet, to all residents on your development in January 2024, an appropriate part of the land has now been transferred from Strata to Meadfleet for management. Whilst we are still constructing in some areas of the development, the areas which have been handed over to Meadfleet are complete and this is what the charges are being paid for at this time.Many thanks,Strata

TrustpilotShocking after care
I'd suggest potential customers come and visit the Elegance site in Ackworth! Roads are unfinished and causing damage to cars. Strata refuse to pay out and tell you to claim on insurance, thereby bumping up your insurance premium. Community Centre still unopened, the green is a pile of weeds and the communal areas that Strata are meant to attend are overgrown. We were promised 'Houses that last'.....our front door broke and wouldn't open. Nevermind the clear safety concerns, Strata refuse to cover the cost to fix it. Aftercare responses are cut and pasted. The whole estate has had drainage issues, unofficial word is that this is why the council has refused to take over the roads from Strata. You call the emergency line and they've never heard of Elegance....The positive reviews you'll see are all for Snagging maintenance - the guys who do this are the only good thing about Strata. However, it begs the question...if the only positive reviews are for Strata fixing things, shouldnt these issues have been sorted before people actually move in?

Always been sceptical about buying a new build after hearing some real horror stories. Really pleased with the property and the finishing touches to help make it stand out from other new builds we have seen.However the team at Strata especially Tami and Ian have been excellent with nothing too much trouble.The teams response to any concerns has been absolutely spot on and couldn`t be better.

TrustpilotFuture customers be cautious!
For any future customers, I'd suggest scrolling down to look at the 1 star reviews from Elegance/Instinct site in Ackworth. Road's are still unfinished and a state to drive on. Causes damage to cars and makes it dangerous to drive on. Pavements aren't complete so wheelchair users have to go in the road. Even a government minister naming their company in the House of Commons doesn't force Strata to finish their work.When Strata saw that the community had enough and started posting reviews on TrustPilot, they clearly went into damage-control mode and rushed to send two letters of how they planned to finish the roads. Have we heard anything since? Of course not. They're already behind on that timeline and we've not heard anything for months. The 5 star reviews you'll read are all from customers who have just moved in or have had good maintenance experience. We did the same - however once the excitement of moving into a new home wears off, I'd be interested to see how these reviews change after their 2 years of maintenance is up. It's really not on - just sort it out.

This is just a review for my maintenance visit. Malc Tall who came to fix an issue was very pleasant, was scheduled for two visits for two separate issues which seemed a waste of his time and looked at one problem I hadn’t even logged and the other two he was due to fix. He was also very complimentary about the decor of the property too which was nice; there are some outstanding issues with the house that I am in touch with the business for, the service manager is supposed to be contacting me this month.

Jeff and Karl came to our property to carry out some 12 months defects work. They arrived at the agreed time, worked quickly and carefully, and got everything sorted much more quickly than we expected.Great couple of lads, couldn't fault the effort or their attempts to do a good clean job.
