St Modwen Homes Wantage reviews

Do I buy a St Modwen Home? Oh, most definitely yes!

We bought our three bedroom home on Branston Leas Estate in March 2020 (just before the COVID 19 lockdown began) and moved in to it late July 2020.Pretty much from the start to the actual day of moving we were looked after by Lisa Preston and I cannot speak highly enough of her and how she kept us informed throughout what were very worrying and trying times. The original date for completion was planned for early May 2020, but due to the lockdown and revised working on site, the date was pushed back to late July. At all times we were kept informed and Lisa acted more like a good friend than someone I’d only spoken with over the phone.The only negative experience we have had was that on moving day, when the welcome to our new home was not there. Due to miscommunication (and COVID-19 lockdown rules) we never received the usual St Modwen welcome, but Lisa and the team did put things right for us and I can totally understand how this small part of the overall experience was missed.All in all I am extremely happy in my new home. We have had a few minor teething issues (snags), but all were handled by St Modwen and rectified.So, should you look at St Modwen when purchasing a new home? Definitely, their homes are stylish and affordable, and the quality - although not the most fantastic out there - it is about right for the cost of the house (If you want better, you’ll have to pay far more).So, would I recommend St Modwen? Most definitely! They’re a local firm that build decent, affordable homes. The sales team at Branston Leas, especially Lisa Preston were fantastic. Also, a special Mention to John Wain and Mick Brearley (the site construction management team) who were generous with their time on site visits to view whilst the house was being built and who have been caring, helpful and friendly throughout the whole purchasing process and beyond, and who have made sure any snags and issues have been sorted. Thank you for all your help.

As a first-time buyer

As a first-time buyer, I appreciated the professionalism and support from the sales manager Julie Mccarthy. Her guidance, responsiveness, and clear communication made the experience positive and much less stressful.

All friendly until you buy and give them reviews

They are all friendly and very helpful until you buy and give them reviews on platforms they ask you to put reviews. If you go to buy a house they have banners with 5 stars costumes satisfaction.I've been trap in this, once I bought the house they've been very demanding to give them good reviews on those platforms, after this if you need any help they won't care and pretend are very busy.Aftercare is shocking. Would not recommend buying a st modern property again!Terrible customer service all round!Hi Lydia,This is Banbury Place, plot no.26I don't want to put any more negative words about your company.Please have my garden sorted, there are just a few slabs which needs to be moved, it should not take more than a few hrs to have it sorted.Let's put it this way to make it transparent, today is 17th September let's see how long it's taking you to fix my garden (to move a few slabs), I will put here an updated when this will be sorted.NB: at the moment I have no update from you when you will fix it. I am tired of chasing you...23rd September, my garden have been sorted with your "after care services standards". One guy did just a 3 hrs work.I'm still very disappointed after this experience.

Lovely house - poor customer service

Pre-sales was good. Major issue with the financial advisor they recommended, so had to exchange and complete on the same day, after a stressful few days to sort. House not ready as sales hadn’t informed site and flooring was wrong. Shoddy post sales/customer service - be prepared to chase!! House is lovely (now snagging done) - although some changes to the layout, especially lack of storage in kitchen would make it great - and the development is good. Really happy with what we have - but was more stressful than it needed to be to get the house sorted!

A Pleasure Experience

Olivia and Arron were helpful and patient. They gave kind guidance when we visited show homes. They clearly answered the questions raised by me. Olivia assisted me in visiting the plot that I was interested several days. Besides, she also facilitated me to take photo for the plot of my friend. Eventually, I really appreciated the help she gave us when during the period we visited Branston Leas.

What an asset Caroline McElhone is to the team. We were so grateful for her support and help whilst navigating through what should have been a straight forward conveyance but hit a number of hurdles which Caroline helped us to overcome.

First House Buyers!

Just want to say how amazing Kyle has been with buying our First House! His customer service is excellent, always there if we need him no question is too small! Also, when viewing other possible plots all other estate agents claimed it would be September. But Kyle pushed and has said we could be in for June which helps massively!

Amazing service at Bramshall Meadows Uttoxeter

We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Making this special experience stress free and exciting every step of the way. Since day one Olivia has been so accommodating and welcoming. She has also made sure to keep us up to date, with plenty of pictures showing the transformation along the way.

St Modwens have been nothing but helpful, supportive and understanding from start to finish. I never thought getting a new build property would be so simple and such an easy process. With friendly help every step of the way. I would like to give a special mention to Lizzie, Kieran, Manjit & Phil from the Banbury team 🙌🏾 once again Thanks to you all again for making our move so smooth!

Would have been a disappointing experience without the help and expertise of Caroline McElhone who guided us through the whole procedure. A fantastic asset for the company who gave common sense answers and ensured any problems were quickly resolved.

A fabulous home

My new home is lovely. I got to meet the builders on a couple of occasions to keep me up to date with the progress before I moved in. I had an extensive home demo with Gemma on the day I moved in. She was always on hand to help with my queries. Very professional and nothing was ever a problem. Aftercare has been great.

Nothing is too much trouble

Matt and Tim came out to fix a small issue with the walls in downstairs toilet,hall and stairs under cupboard. Both were very professional and explained everything to me they did a good job. Since moving in to a new St Modwen house I have had a few problems but found customer service very good in handling things quickly and all workmen have been very helpful and professional.

Everything was brilliant from the moment we reserved our dream home. Fiona and Anita in the sales office were great all the way through answering any questions and keeping us updated. Damion the customer service manager has resolved any small issues we have had since moving in really quickly along with Adrian and Nathan the site managers. The whole team are really helpful and friendly. We couldn’t of asked for anything more.

Great Service and Aftercare

The sales office have provided an amazing and very professional service throughout the whole experience of the purchase. From choosing the kitchen to the carpets. I even met the builders on an initial viewing of my property as well as extensive home demo with the builders before I moved in. Aftercare has been great as there's always been someone on hand when needed.
