Disregard for Community Concerns and Planning Process

We believe Jones Homes has shown a complete lack of respect and responsibility toward the local community affected by this development.

We recently purchased a property on St Peter’s Park, Mawdesley, Lancashire. We bought via the help to buy scheme and Jones recommendation of their partners to help us sell what was our previous home. I have to say how refreshing it is to find a company who still hold professional standards and have welcoming and professional people. We have lived on the site for a month now and couldn’t be happier. We have previously bought a new home before this purchase and the two just cannot be compared. The new home demonstration before we moved in was really great and helpful. Jones have been fantastic and I would recommend to anyone. The home is beautiful and we as a family are thrilled and so happy. To Sharon we couldn’t have done this without you, from our hearts we cannot thank you enough. To Colin, Yan and all the lads on site thank you so much for your professionalism and great work! To Jones homes thank you for all your support and help with our move and our new home. We are truly blessed! John, Jo and kids

*UPDATE* THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO UPDATE. THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES REMAIN OUTSTANDING. THE ONLY THING TO CHANGE IS THE SHAMBOLIC CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS SOMEHOW GOTTEN EVEN WORSE!!!! Four months ago a joiner was sent to replace the soffits and fascias. The soffits were replaced but the joiner neglected to cut holes so the external lights could be reinstalled. He also decided against sealing the gaps between wall and soffit and left the brass screw heads proudly on display!They ordered to wrong sized fascia so couldn’t complete the job. I was told the correct size would be ordered and the job completed with 3-4 days. Imagine my surprise when this didn’t happen! The only way to get a response from these cowboys is to turn up unannounced at the site office and demand answers. It scares them into agreeing to send a detailed schedule of work. But they never get round to sending it. It’s also amazing how they always manage to misplace your snagging list……… Avoid this developer like the plague. Proper smash and grab mentality! Absolutely appalling customer service!! Been in the house since the 13th of April 2022. I have a snagging list that still has 100+ issues to complete, many of which were supposed to be resolved within the first seven days of moving in. Every single window and external door is too small for the openings they’re fixed. These have been poorly sealed, though in some cases not sealed at all. Not ideal when gas and electricity cost the same as a mortgage. The brick work is poor with massive gaps where cut’s haven’t been run through. In parts it looks like the bricks have been catapulted into place. The lead work is a shambles. It’s been cut short in places leaving large gaps above the fascia board. So no doubt I’ll end up with birds nesting in there. They’ll have to pay rent though to go towards the massive heating bills caused by the ill fitting windows. The ridge tiles sit around three inch lower than the hips. They sent someone round to look at the lead and tiling issues three months ago. He said he’d be back in two weeks to rectify. I can only assume he’s lost a couple of pages from his calendar. All in all the standard of finish is just sloppy. As if the house was built on a Friday afternoon… by the apprentices. The most frustrating aspect of all this is the shocking communication. I’ve lost count of the unanswered calls made and emails sent. On the rare occasion you do get a response it’s never that persons responsibility. I’ve sent three emails in the past four weeks asking for a timeline of when these jobs will be completed. I’ve had zero replies. It really is very disappointing. I should be enjoying watching my kids grow in an amazing family home. Not spending countless hours trying to get my snagging list completed. But Jones Homes don’t care. They’ve already had their money so why should they care!! For anyone considering buying from this company my advice is don’t….. they’re sh*t!NegativeProfessionalism

Absolute disgrace of a company I would warn about ever buying a home of these unprofessional people. My sister bought a new build and the list of snags are overwhelming! None of the downstairs radiators working, crack in Bath panel, loose front door handle, nails through the fence these are just a few of a long list of issues that are still yet to be fixed as they are quick enough to answer the phone when they want your money to buy these embarrassing houses but never seem to be around fix problems caused by shoddy workmanship. The make enough money when selling these houses but can apparently afford good workmen and issues that need to be fixed. I might just turn up at the show home as a new customer as that's the only way I seem to get hold of people

Excellent

The communication between the sellers and us was very good. Jackie and Sandra (Rotherham) were very professional and they made sure everything was good for us. The house itself was build to an excellent standard even the clearing prior to moving in. The builders left it spotless. I would recommend a family or friend buying from Jones homes

Further to my good review of Jones…

Further to my good review of Jones Homes I would like to advise potential new purchasers of the following: Now over a year on from our purchase of or new home it has become evident Jones Homes via Customer Services have totally lost interest in attending to further matters of quality. I am being increasing fobbed off that matters that had been dealt with previously are now not. Chipped bricks that used to be repaired are now classed as "asthetic" which is BS. Any new purchaser get a PROFESSIONAL SNAGGER to go over the whole house and look for defects. Get as many people in to check for defects and look everywhere. Once found get Jones to sort them ASAP and persist. Check bad guttering joints, badly fitted worktops, bad drainage, damaged bricks and mortar and bad paint. Check plasterwork around windows and look for rusty hinges. Check for long hair left in paint. Check for badly fitted kitchen units. Check the roof for loose tiles. Check for shower drains blocked with plaster and screws. Check especially for creaking first floor beams. Check everything then do so again. Make sure your landscaping is actually done as per plan otherwise you will have to go to the Council to get this resolved. DO SO WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR as beyond this, despite the 2 years warranty you are largely on your own. Follow up any emails to Customer Services with phone calls as emails go unanswered for weeks. Don't be fobbed off by NHBC BS. Jones make a good house in general, but be on your guard as the penny pinchers pulling the strings overrule Customer Services and leave you out in the cold. I really do not like bad reviews and negativity, but as the customer comes second in the long run with Jones Homes I wish to warn you upfront. Other things for your professional snagger to check: Look for glue patches/ stains on carpets and don’t agree to have them professionally cleaned as your house will smell badly for months. Look for cross threaded radiator valves, loose & arcing light switch wires, chipped kitchen shelves and sanitary ware. Missing sealant to floors and doors. Missing wall tiles behind sinks. Look for flooded patio laid fall to house. Look for puddles on driveway due to badly laid blocks. Check your outside tap works/ double check valve not blocked. Check for damage to door edges. Check for self detaching loft access door (caution) and check for torn roof under felt. Check stairs and first floor for protruding carpet underlay staples that need carpet relaying. Check for missing pipe boxing-in and missing sealant to external vents. Check for missing top soil and for cut short soffits/ barge boards also unsealed. Look for bad garden drainage your garden may be a swamp. Most importantly get these and similar items remedied and do not accept compromise and do so ASAP or prepare to do them yourself.If you do proceed with a new house purchase beware a flawed complaints procedure if you need to do so. Use of pre scripted excuses and reasons why not to help. Jones Homes have some truly excellent employees, and I feel awful that they may read this bad review. I am sorry for them, they deserve better. Management that hide behind a NHBC invisible shied of excuses let down badly what could be an excellent company. Do we regret buying a new Jones Home? No. Would we buy another? Sadly no. Our other experiences of new house buying (Barratt and Redrow) have been customer focused, honest and upfront. Jones Homes take a minute to listen and learn. If you do have a choice think hard before you commit and be warned and aware in advance.

Really helpful all round at Wentworth View. From the initial purchase to completion everything has been extremely straight forward and everyone very helpful. The few very minor bits after completion are all being sorted by Neil, Sam and the rest of the staff who have been great.

So after my first review where i basically gave jones homes a thumbs up i feel a strong need to write a second one....basically we were assured from day one that our house was the last one on phase 1...this turned out to be completely false....they decided to add 4 more...all well and good except for the fact that the utilities stopped at ours....this has meant instead of work outside our house stopping around xmas it is still like the somme outside and has been since november...there are huge holes outside...the road is non existent...the constant mess, noise and upheaval has gone beyond reasonable tolerance...we have had no contact from head office...they seem to want to leave it to the site manager to basically tell us nothing!! Now i come home to see that the fence next door is at right angles to ours and more than 2 feet higher??? Absoloute amateurism!! Not to even mention the cracks appearing from all the extra earth works...had i known id be living in such a mess i wouldnt have bought the damn place....

Terrible Quality Homes, Even Worse Aftercare

Purchased a home on the Beaumont Gardens estate over 4 years ago and we couldn't regret our decision more. We had no end of snagging issues & not just the standard stuff you'd expect like unpainted/plastered bits we're talking flooring not fitted properly or stuck down, grass in the garden being completely dead (a problem across the entire estate which chorley council had to be involved in before Jones would even look into), taps aren't fitted properly and leaking from the word go, the boilers they installed blowing within the first few years which again was due to the cheapest boilers being used and the same fault happening with multiple people on the estate according to British Gas engineer. What really shocks me is how bad the aftercare/customer service is, jones homes don't care in the slightest and refute everything you report to them as say "it's meant to be that way" or "thats wear and tear, its your fault" (after a few months). They try to put off helping for as long as possible till you are outside of the care/warranty period.If you're considering buying a home from them, walk away, you're already getting poor space/value for money & you aren't going to get good quality for it either.

New house.... Never buy Jones homes

New house, after being in it one year the garage flooded, terrible service, the heating still does not work. British gas say it was never flushed through when installed and Jones Homes will not do a thing. Banging pipes, the floor boards are so thin you can hear when others are in the shower. The kitchen has now things broken, and the house is only 3 years old. The after service is terrible. The bath at the top does not work. Just disgraceful. Stay clear

We recently purchased a home at the Sunfield site by Jones Homes, and the whole experience has been nothing short of brilliant. From our very first visit, Julie, the sales executive, stood out with her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care throughout the entire process.

Cowboys

If I could give less than one star I would.This is a cowboy company, using cheap subbies to do a shoddy job.From daily harassment pre completion, to not offering a pre plaster walk around and then having to sign a waiver so we could complete on time it’s been a stressful time. 4 months after moving in, snagging list gets longer by the day and the site manager is never helpful, always saying things will be done but they rarely are. Buy elsewhere, these aren’t worth the hassle.Cavendish Grange, Bolsover!

Jones Homes (Lancashire)

We recently purchased a property from Jones Homes (Lancashire) on their Willows Development. This is a beautifully stunning development of just 6 properties, which makes it feel very exclusive.The sales process was seamless and stress-free with Lisa our lovely Sales Advisor. We did have a few snags which have been picked up by their Customer Services Department, who have all (including their technicians) been very professional and amazingly friendly. After reading previous reviews, we cannot understand the negative comments as we have not experienced this and can only compliment the Company.We feel that our home has been built to an excellent standard and the fittings are of good quality, we are the envy of our friends and family. In fact a couple of our friends are looking at homes on their Poulton development.Keep up the good work :0)

Do not buy from this company!

Do not buy from this company! This company dose not even deserve 1 star. The amount of faults we have had/still having is beyond ridiculous. The workmanship is extremely poor and in some cases having to return up to 5 time to rectify faults. The stress and anxciety this company has caused and are still causing our family I can never forgive them for. Thank fully the NHBC have helped us and have had to take over some of the work due to the extremely poor standard of workmanship on the part of Jones Homes. The customer service is shocking, this company only cares about saving money and using contractors that do a very very poor standard of work.

new home

We have lived in our Jones Home for 6 months and are generally very pleased with it. Yes there have been snags which have been seen to but nothing major. We have found the sales staff and site people quite friendly and helpful and willing to listen to any concerns.The site is still being developed so there are delivery lorries and machines operating most days but we haven't found that to be any problem. We find living in Ribbleswood Chase very pleasant and generally quiet and are glad to find a nice small development within our known area which at the moment is being developed at an alarming rate with quite large and sprawling estates.

New Jones Home

We are enjoying our retirement in our new home. The process of completion (despite Covid19) was very smooth and we moved in on the agreed day.Despite some snagging (which was no more than you would expect for a new build) we are more than happy with our new home and would strongly recommend Jones Homes. The Sales office staff and site Manager, have been very helpful, friendly and professional throughout. Definitely 5 star!
