TrustpilotVery polite, good after sales
Sales staff and site manager very friendly and approachable. Contacted by after sales customer support within 1 week of moving in to check on problems. Quality of components and fittings generally pretty good. Only relatively minor snags found: sales staff and site manager performed snagging list after two weeks and seem to be willing to deal with them - time will tell if they live up to their promises. Overall design of home is excellent and well thought out (e.g. light & spacious, good modern layout, plenty & well placed power & TV/phone sockets etc). So far found LH a pleasure to deal with. The reason for the 4 stars is because whilst the snags are generally minor, most are things that ought to have been spotted & resolved by LH before moving in (e.g. missing runner in shower screen). Otherwise I have found the situation to be the complete opposite of the horror stories found on this and other review sites (this of course is only my own personal experience).

TrustpilotI would never buy a Lindon build house again...
This company sets up management agreements with a company called Hazelvine Ltd. who, due to the legal structure of these agreements, are able to treat the homeowners very poorly. See the poor reviews for Hazelvine all over the internet. It is impossible to get out of these agreements in many cases. Also, there were loads of issues with the quality of my Lindon build house which I am still correcting at my own cost, and I had many failed promises to call me back about issues when I first bought my property. Once they have your money.....

TrustpilotTerrible customer service
Bought a new build almost 2 years ago and filled in our snagging list. 23 months later and they still haven't done anything about our shower that doesn't drain, and our water boiler is missing an important part meaning it breaks down and needs replacing every 6 months (they're covering the repair while we are in the 2 year period, but not installing the vital part!)Their customer service is appalling. I email them, I ring them, I speak to builders on site, and nothing gets done. My emails get ignored (except for the confirmation email to say they've received my email and will respond within the next 7 working days), my calls, if I manage to speak to someone, they promise me they will sort this out for me but nothing changes. I've been to the sales suite and they've given me contact details for specific people in the customer service team, but they ignore me too.I want to submit a complaint, but to submit a complaint you email their customer services team - the same people who are ignoring me already, I doubt sending another email will change anything! They should have a department specifically for complaints, so when you submit a complaint you get to deal with someone other than the people you're complaining about.In just over a month, we will be out of the 2 year period where they are responsible for things that break, and I feel like they're just holding on until that date when they will say that it's no longer their problem. Unfortunately for them I've documented our correspondence and will be taking this further!Buying a home is stressful enough as it is... 2 years later and I have a shower that doesn't drain and intermittent hot water, and all Linden are doing is causing me more stress and frustration.

TrustpilotWow - Frosty Much?
Unbelievable that a company with such dreadful reviews would not fix these issues at ground level. Maybe even redressing those reviews so that posters can re upload them.Granted these are a small percentage of the overall sales volume, but they are there and everyone can read them. My experience was similar, yet I did not even get to the sales process. So disenchanted was I with the attitude of the Swindon management. £150,000 + over regional market value equivalent. Wow that is some uplift for a new home.Such a lack of warmth, patience or empathy ...in fact quite a hostile reception. Naturally I would not be spending money with them, let alone making myself mad with their apparent aftersales apathy. People buy from people,It seems to me they are all over first time buyers, help to buy or those who don’t do their local index research, and not so keen to deal with people who do.Despite claiming how fast their development are selling and how in demand they are, I seem to still have around 21 text messages offering me deals, discounts and offers!Wouldn't move my family on the basis of company values alone.

Trustpilot6 months into our new home at Ensleigh
6 months into our new home at Ensleigh. So far no serious problems but trying to get site manager or anyone to deal with small annoying issues, forget it. You must go through customer care i am told, so we wait a week to put right something that could be dealt with in an hour max. Try to speak to site manager on mobile ( his phone does not work ). Multi million pound company?Steve Sherlock

the worst company i have ever delt with, they rush you into everything like selling your house putting reservations down then AFTER tell you the house isn't even built yet and they have no brick layers for foreseeable future, the sales team screams dodgy avoid at all costs, feel like me and my pregnant girlfriend have dodged a big bullet with linden homes never ever will go near them again

TrustpilotStay well clear of this company
Stay well clear of this company. Everyone I speak to on the estate has had enough of them. Shoddy work, crap customer service.Since moving in we have had the entire house re painted, downstairs flooring replaced, back garden needs digging up as it floods, front garden has been laid twice and is still shocking, all of the glass in the windows needs replacing because it’s all scratched. Jus appalling.

I currently live on montbray in Barnstaple a linden home, we are required to pay some sort of maintenance charge for keeping the place neat & tidy whilst I think this is a good idea I don’t like the fact that plants are being planted only to be left to die & at our expense be replanted a couple of weeks later, surely this is a complete waste of our hard earned money .

TrustpilotBrought a new build 6 years ago now
Brought a new build 6 years ago now, they fitted no vents in the loft and condensation built up. The windows were fitted so bad we had water pouring in and they wanted to hear nothing about it. They also came round and washed everyone's render and left cracks and patches across the whole new estate and have not and will not do anything about it. Never buy from this sub par cowboy built company.

TrustpilotAvoid at all costs
Avoid at all costs! Agreed a price on a new build and accepted a part ex offer on my home(under market value). To then be told house we were reserving was now no longer being marketed. Then received a phone call 48hrs later to say house was re available but at a price increase of £10,000 more than agreed. Totally untrustworthy and underhanded.

TrustpilotShocking issues with this company
I live near a family who bought a brand new linden home only to find out they were on top of a sewage pumping station the smell was atrocious!!! Linden said they should have known that but hang on you built it and sold it to them!! Why didn’t they fess up and say that prior to the sale! Avoid these barrow boys before you end up losing money and sanity, kids and family.

So far one week but no update.I call again today and the lady told me can call back later or people will contact me. When I ask her name which I could find her to follow up later.

I purchased my property 2.5 years ago and during this time the majority of people in my development have had issues with snagging not being resolved, terrible communication and awful customer service.I would encourage you to do your research before considering buying a property from these developers.

TrustpilotWorst soundproofing and very slow response from defect co-ordinator
Got this new apartment. Defect co-ordinator is very slow in give us a response and the whole process of dealing with snagging issues is very slow. Need to send them two emails everyday to remind them again and again. Also, they have worst soundproofing in the apartment. Tube underground passes by from our apartment and its a shock to hear tube noise after every 5 mins.

I gave these a negative review a couple of years ago and thought I’d have a look to see if they’ve improved at all. After reading a few pages of comments I find it very suspicious that in almost every positive or five star review someone is actually named but this doesn’t seem to happen with negative reviews. Surely they can’t be leaving their own reviews!!!!!

TrustpilotUNTRUSTWORTHY
Linden are building a new estate in Thurston, Suffolk. They have Outline planning permission for up to 200 homes on the site. Their detailed application has now shown that 191 houses will be squeezed in to 2/3 if the site and they will then apply for further housing ( making it more like 300) on the site. They are abusing their power and planners seem incapable of stopping them.

I wouldn't give them any stars if it was allowed, I have had so many major leaks repaired but then out of warranty and now disputing it's the exact same leak dispite photos comfirming so. Mouldy houses which have made my furniture mouldy wouldn't replace it, fans that are so loud it's like sleeping on a runway, awful customer service so rude and unwilling to help or even listen.
