Brilliant Experian e

The Experience I have had with St Modwen Homes has been exceptional, from pre- purchase to now their team at the Stafford development have been in constant communication and been nothing but helpful. The snags identified prior to purchase was rectified and pointed out on hand over day. Following this on the 7 day snag after purchasing the property there was 7 snags, all but 2 have been rectified and they are planed to rectify for the coming weeks. The house is a really high standard/finish and we are proud to have our friends and family visit and show off our home. We will highly recommend St Modwen Homes to our friends and family.The only negative we have is we have 2 young children and believe the small park on sight could have been thought out a little better for all ages, but apart from that brilliant.

Awful company

Awful company. The only part that ONE guy was hood with was the sales (purely as it benefitted them)… since we’ve moved in we’ve had nothing but trouble with parking, works and complaints- issues raised are ignored. Owners of 1 bed flats aren’t informed on anything whereas 2 bed flats are… for example recently people with two bed flats received a letter saying there will be works in our carpark for 4 weeks but the 1 bed flats didn’t get informed about this. They didn’t create enough parking for all flats so there has been conflicts about that and it feels as though the ones that have paid more for two beds are favoured. Have tried to communicate with the company several times but have just been ignored- they only seem to care when they’re making a sale

Specific feedback about a valued member of the customer service team at St Modwen

Just wanted to give some specific feedback about one of the staff members at St Modwen Customer Service called Annika. She has recently been dealing with a number of ongoing snagging issues for us in relation to our property. Annika has picked up our ongoing list and is in the process of dealing with all of the matters contained within it promptly, whilst keeping us fully informed. She has gone above and beyond to try to help get the final matters resolved as quickly as possible and has been extremely polite and informative during my interactions with her. Thank you for your help here Annika!

MEON VALE

We have just moved into Heron Drive Meon Vale Development. Firstly I am so grateful for everything Dean and Steve have done getting us in our beautiful home for before Christmas, they have gone out their way to get our house perfect and visit daily to check all is ok, nothing is too much trouble. Mercedes helped us through our pre completion as it is a very stressful time, thank you. Dan the customer service team got everything arranged very promptly.. as for the duo Dave and Lee, they are so professional, courteous, friendly and the work they have done I cannot fault. Everyone has made our experience since we’ve moved in run smoothly and all our snags done immediately within a week.. Cannot fault anyone.. 5 star.. would definitely recommend St Modwens..!

If you like leaks and rotten plasterboard...

We purchased our St Modwen home at the end of 2020. Having spoken to the site manager, we're informed that whilst he was still on site to report all defects directly to him and he would get them sorted. So we did. AlBig mistake. Whilst there were what now become clear were bodge jobs for them to be fixed, customer service have no information about there ever being faults so now we are out of warranty and having endless issues with our bathroom leaking through into the lounge. We have now found a third issue that has rotted wood joists and plasterboard. No wonder you get badgered 3 times a day to fill out their NHBC survey within the first few weeks. Alongside the garden constantly being waterlogged it's been a poor experience overall.

Technician - Mihail Bujor

I want to take a moment to commend Mihail, the site technician from St Modwen at Kingsgrove in Wantage, for his exceptional service on multiple occasions over the past year. In every interaction, Mihail has exhibited a remarkable level of professionalism and friendliness. His commitment to going above and beyond is truly commendable, and his technical prowess spans a wide range of areas. Each job he has undertaken has been executed with precision and has consistently met high standards. He also gave me hints and tips on how to deal with/ prevent certain issues from arising again!I am genuinely pleased to have Mihail as my dedicated site technician, and his contributions have greatly contributed to my positive experience.

Stillwater

We moved into our Houghton Home in early November 2023, and our experience with St Modwen Homes, particularly with Customer Care representative Josh Beesley, has been exceptionally positive. The level of customer care and support provided by Josh and his colleagues has surpassed our expectations. Any minor snagging issues that we encountered were promptly and efficiently addressed, showcasing their dedication to customer satisfaction.Having previously owned a new build home, we can confidently say that Josh's commitment to customer care far exceeds our past experiences. The layouts and quality build of St Modwen Homes are great, but what truly sets them apart is the outstanding level of customer support we have received and continue to enjoy since moving in.We’d recommend St Modwen Homes to anyone seeking not only well-designed and quality-built homes but also an unparalleled level of customer care that adds significant value to the overall homeownership experience.

AWFUL AND UNCARING DEVELOPERS

Since we moved in to our st modwen home in 2022 we have had nothing but stress with our garden and now in July 2024 they have come to replace half of the back fence leaving us with a completely mismatched looking fence and the old fence is still broken. DO NOT BUY A HOUSE FROM ST MODWEN. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN THEYVE HAD YOUR MONEY

Richie - Site Technician (Heathy Wood Estate) - Skills, Friendly and Professional - 5 Stars

The site technician for the St Modwen Heathy Wood estate, Richie, has visited our property on several occasions. He is extremely professional and friendly, always turning up for scheduled appointment or at least reaching out to make us aware of any delay which are normally out of his control. He is multi skilled and goes over and above to ensure to the problems are resolved while explaining the issues and resolution provided. He is also always on hand to provide advise and ideas. We are lucky to have Richie serving our estate! 5 Stars from me.

Can’t believe the 5 stars 😂 fake…

Can’t believe the 5 stars 😂 fake accounts If I could I would give - 5 🌟 Because St Modwen houses are really that bad especially in Glyn llyn Newport.They will all give you anything you like when you first move in to get everything signed they need. Big mistake just make sure you happy and get a profession Snagging company because if you want years of problems, you’re buying at the right companyDo your research with the local facebook groups and residence who will be happy to talk to you and share their problems from hell.Now had an email saying this goes against the rules because of names in my comments. Funny How other peoples comments can use names. 😂What’s the point you only get special treatment If your face fit's and to be told to remove, my post or no work will be completed 😂 this is what you call a 5 star company

I 100% don’t agree with the 4 star…

I 100% don’t agree with the 4 star rating. This management of this company is grim. You call & ask to speak to a person you’ve been given a name for & ignores you. Ritchie & Gabrielle on the other hand are absolutely amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for either & if it wasn’t for these 2, I personally would have just sacked the purchase & gone somewhere else which i think they would prefer as still to this day being ignored. Shameful. Thank you thou to Ritchie & Gabrielle, you are both so helpful. I’m allowed to write the names of people who are exceptional but i’ve been told to take off the name of the 1 member of staff that ignores you. it’s such a shame really as this could be such a good company, you know who you are & i'm still waiting for your call, 8 months later. Thanks again to Ritchie & Gabrielle as you call & return messages. Merry Christmas 🎄

Appalling customer service

Appalling customer service, lies told throughout the process the the house we ended up with is nice enough at a basic level but there have been so many thing changed after the fact compared to the plan, garden needed completely redoing as they had cut corners on the topsoil they used under the turf and used unsuitable stuff that caused waterlogging, building regs only adhered to as and when it suited them, used to force changes on us that were not on the plan but when we flagged issues with our bathroom ventilation being connected to our soil pipes with no valve to stop noxious sewer fumes ingressing they gaslighted us and told us we were wrong and only did anything when I threatened legal action as it was not to building regs. Even then the mess they made in doing it damaged the roof insulation which needed another visit to fix (and was still done shoddily). While the workmen are still on site they have come onto our property at will without asking to make changes after we had moved in that had not been agreed like it was still part of their building site instead of private property. The site manager is chronically incompetent and whenever he has agreed to come over to talk about anything like snagging or other issues that have plagued us (and most other residents on the development) he has never once showed up at the time he agreed, most times not even on the same day.Probably the worse customer experience I have ever had in my entire life. The only redeeming factors are that fundamentally it's a lovely house and it's in a nice area. But every aspect of actually dealing with St Modwens themselves has been truly awful.

Disgusting customer service

Since moving in to our ‘dream home’ in August 2022 we were made aware of the garden having the potential to sink over the first 6 moths and were promised that it would be fixed in May 2023 but this then changed to June 2023 again nothing and then promised July and no fix again. Now we are in December 2023 and still no fix and no update despite contacting the customer service manager Lewis multiple times, when I do eventually speak to him he promises to call me back with an update and never does. I am utterly disgusted at how over looked we have been and the amount of broken promises is becoming a joke. I raised this complaint to customer service and didn’t even get an apology! I wouldnt recommend st Modwen to my worst enemy! Customer service is non existent and needs a serious change!

Brilliant experience, I'm very happy.

Going to St Modwen Homes was a great experience. The Showhome was well presented, and I enjoyed being able to take my time looking around. Sarah was fantastic and helped me choose the right property for me. I appreciated the recommendations for solicitors and financial advisor. I'm very excited for my moving date!

Shocking modwen homes

Really can’t be bothered to waste any more of my time on St Modwen Homes.if you do move in to a new St Modwen home, I would highly recommend you don’t sign off any work & check for any snags you are not totally happy with on completion, they will bombard you as soon as you have hold of your keys with forms especially NHBC in particular as you may need them to help you in the future to resolve any issues. To many issues of my own experience to list including many expletives! No customer care. Appalling after sales team. My advise if you want a decent place to live go to mountain warehouse and buy a tent as you will find your purchase far more enjoyable than we did in our St Modwen “dream home”.

5 stars if you want a year from hell

If you want to be lied to, bullied and spend all your savings on a property that looks like it’s been built by a 4 year old then St Modwen homes is for you. A year of dealing with rude workers in and out of our property, customer care thinking they can walk all over you and pulling the wool over your eyes. They say that these properties have been signed off by NHBC but some of the health and safety issues we’ve found in our property do not suggest it’s been looked at, but who needs health and safety in their home, isn’t that right St Modwen!St modwen have been great at making issues worse, if you want your bathroom tiles to be cracked then don’t hesitate in buying a st modwen home, if you want paint left in your sink after they have done ‘work’ then buy a st modwen home and if you want workers calling you (the customer) a f-ing idiot then buy a st modwen home. If you want to wait 18 months for your whole house to be destroyed by st modwen workers and still have nothing completed and a customer care team that is FANTASTIC at messing with your head for months and months then this housing company is recommended to you by me.

John & Callum - Glan Llyn, Newport

John and Callum did a great job on fixing our "squeaking" upstairs floors. They had been driving me nuts for ages, but the guys came in, identified the problem and fixed it professionally. I was initially concerned when they started cutting a hole into our kitchen ceiling, but afterwards you wouldn't know anything had been done at all. Great fix, great guys :-)

Resolution to a 'snag' on a new home.

Lee & Callum addressed an issue I had originally reported 15 months ago in Jan 2023 on the Littlecombe Estate in Dursley, Gloucestershire.Lee had previously completed some snagging for me. Both chaps provided an efficient and excellent service. The St Modwen Homes organisation could learn a lot from these chaps, both in how they treat customers and their openness/acceptance in what's required and the best permanent solution.My thanks go to both Lee & Callum.

Great Experience with Sales at Glan Llyn Newport

Simon and Toni have been exceptional, from first reserving up until completion. We had some issues along the way, multiple buyers pulling out at first and a change of solicitors in our chain causing more delays. We were meant to complete in June but ended up in September. The sales team were great with everything and even did a lot of the chasing for us.Really happy with Liam on the site team too, allowed us access to the plot to measure and plan our new home layout, even installed a new TV bracket for us since the building team would know where the studs were so we could worry about one less thing come moving day.Would recommend to family, friends and colleagues to purchase with the St Modwen's Glan Llyn team. We had an amazing experience and feel like very valued customers.
