TrustpilotEccleston Park Development
Cussins are lucky to have Lauren at the Eccleston Park development! We have just reserved our plot but already Lauren has gone above & beyond for us - notably, staying 2 hours past closing to ensure we made the right choice selection on our kitchen/bathrooms. The way she builds trust with customers made it so much easier to commit to the purchase, and we may have not moved so quick had it not been for Lauren! So far so good - hoping the completion & move-in are as seamless as it has been this far.

Just bought my first house through Cussins at Summerson Place. Really happy with the service I have received, specifically from Carol and Keith, the site manager. Buying your first house can be a scary prospect, but I was kept well informed and updated throughout the build, from foundations to completion. So far, the quality seems really good, and any small snagging issues have been sorted in a timely manner. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Cussins to anyone looking for a new build without having to worry about the quality of the finish.

TrustpilotUnbelievably Bad
Three pages of snagging on a new Cussins home ( 5 years ago) was bad enough, particularly when the initial response to defects was “that’s normal”. Some were relatively minor but multiple water leaks, incorrect wiring and blocked toilet due to incorrect design were serious. However, biggest issue is now external brickwork gaps (up to 5mm) which developed after snagging period. Despite having an independent report that the defects are structural the worthless (unless the house falls down) 10 year warranty doesn’t cover the repair cost and Cussins aren’t interested (when you eventually talk to them) as they only built the house and are not responsible for the warranty after the snagging period. No new house builder is without issues, but Cussins take things to a new level.

Moving into our new home has been such a special experience for our family. My mum bought the house, and now me and my brother live here, and we truly couldn’t have done it without Carol. She made the entire journey feel not only smooth, but genuinely delightful and memorable.

TrustpilotCussins Summerson property
This was our first time of searching property in the UK. When we lost way to go another property site. Carol Norman was very helpful to give us how to get the site and invite us warmly to see properties in Summerson Place. After finished the original site visit, we went to Carol’s office to do site visit. Carol was very friendly, and helpful to tour their properties and patiently answered our queries We were impressed by the quality of the property and location and decided to make a purchase on that day. Carol also closely followed up the purchase process and made many valuable suggestions related to the interior decoration.Keith (site manager) is also very helpful and promptly followed up the list of snagging report even though we were not in the UK. When we came back the UK. Carol and Keith explained the operation of houses’ utilities in details and followed up minor defects raised by us. Overall speaking, we are very satisfied with this purchase.

From stepping into the sales office to been handed the keys to my property at Summerson place I could not fault the whole procedure from meeting carol in the sales office to having any slight issues resolved it was a breeze, the site manager resolved the few very minor issues we had with impeccable promptness and efficiency honestly couldn't fault the Cussins team, well done guys all round, it's so nice to find a team that are actually interested in making you happy with a purchase, I would definitely recommend them.

We recently purchased a Lily 2 house on the Summerson Place development in Darlington. We received great customer care from both Carol and Caroline throughout the process. These houses are of a very good build quality. We experienced very minimal snags that were all sorted in a timely manner by site manager Keith and Alan. Would highly recommend!

I visited the Cussins showroom and beautiful showhomes on Sunday and found Carol extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She helped me narrow down my search based on what I’m looking for from a property after initially feeling overwhelmed by choice. She took me in to the showhomes and had a lot of time for me and my many questions. Once I’m in a position to move forward I will be back!

TrustpilotAmazing Riverside Development
Amazing.. It’s my first sole purchase and I have to say I was petrified. As soon as I engaged with Caroline at the Riverside development she made me feel such at ease and has been absolutely brilliant. She has helped me all the way with options for kitchens etc and colours and basically made me feel more than just another sale. The quality of the build is excellent and everything is very high end not cheap and nasty as with some other builders. I get emails with updates on how the build is going which is really good. I am so looking forward to moving in to the property. Thank you Caroline and Cussins.

TrustpilotHighly recommend Cussins. Quality build and customer experience
I couldn’t recommend this builder enough. From the first day I rang the sales number to enquire about a property to now being happily settled in my lovely new house for two months. It’s been a stress free, enjoyable experience throughout. Carol Norman (sales) is an absolute credit to this company. She has been so very helpful and caring, never pushy and always goes that extra mile for her customers. Thank you for all your support throughout this process Carol 🙌 can’t thank you enough!Keith (site manager) also gets a big shout out. So approachable and reliable. After being in my new property for 7 days I presenting Keith with a small, minor lists of snags. Keith was straight onto them, with the majority rectified within hours. Thanks Keith!My third big shout out goes to Matthew. Such a nice guy that will do anything to help you out, always with a cheery smile on his face. Having previously purchased a new house from another builder, Robertson’s homes, I couldn’t stress enough how much of a case of chalk and cheese my experience has been throughout my home purchase joinery. I would highly reccomend summerson place and Cussins from not only a high q build quality perspective but also from a general new home buying experience. The operational team at Summerson place being the real jewel in this company’s crown. 5⭐️

When we first realised cusssins were building new homes on the riverside we knew immediately we just had to have one . From sending our 1st email to finally signing we were informed every step of the way how the process would work . Caroline from the sales office has been amazing throughout, answers emails promptly and calls when she has more information. Buying from plan can be scary but everything was always explained to us and we are looking forward to receiving our new home next month and enjoying those amazing river views .Thank you Caroline and Cussins
