TrustpilotGreat service, thanks Dylan!
Was a pleasure to be shown around this new development next to Walton-on-Thames Station by Dylan. Easy and quick negotiation, no questions unanswered, just the way I like to do business. Not pushy just very nice indeed! In half an hour we bought our lovely 2 bed apartment and still we know we can ask Dylan for advice on pretty much any aspect of our purchase. Thanks Dylan!

TrustpilotIt was a good experience starting from the ambience, space, bus route, clean calm and quiet.
It was a good experience starting from Ms Shaw who did the viewing and talked me through all amenities and schools around the area.It was nice to know that I never felt I would be alone seeing the property had people of same profession and nationality as my self as well.This property is very beautiful and spacious , the environment is calm for families with young children.However the parking is also what needs to be improved on,I know it’s difficult but when we have guests where are they allowed to park .

We recently visited the Cringleford development and were shown around by Katrina. She was incredibly knowledgeable and went the extra mile to help us through the process. We've visited a few developers and she has been by for the most helpful. Thanks Katrina!

TrustpilotIf I could give a 0 rating I would
If I could give a 0 rating I would I have honestly had the worst experience since moving into my house at the end of August. The aftercare team are the most unhelpful and inhuman people I have ever spoken to. A week after moving into my home I discovered I had a booklice infestation that got worse day by day until they eventually spread across the whole house. They were all over the walls, ceiling and floor. I was hoovering them up 4 times a day and they were just relentlessly coming back. I called sage and crest to speak to them about the problem and was told because this was not a defect they were unable to help. Booklice are caused from damp or mould and unless the root cause is found you cannot get rid of them. I told crest I was worried to leave the house for a week while I went on holiday because the house would’ve been overrun by the time I got back. Again they did nothing to help. When returning from holiday my worries had come true, the kitchen floor, cupboards, window ledge and downstairs toilet where absolutely crawling in them. I called Crest who again refused to come out and have a look and advised me to get pest control out and get a report to identify the cause, which I did at my expense. I got the pest control report which identified the area they were coming from and clarified they’re caused from damp, mould and leaking pipes. They again refused to take accountability and suggested sending someone out to check the extractor fans which was a waste of both my time and theirs. They refused to send a plumber because it wasn’t a defect down to them even though they hadn’t been out the check. After no success I paid for a professional snagger who did a thorough check of the house. As expected, there was in fact a defect with the plumbing and there was a leak in the bathroom everytime the shower is on. Under the bath tub and kitchen counters is loads of insulation that doesn’t need to be there. This is the perfect breading ground for the infestation of booklice. Finally some answers so I can get some help….. no, again even after two reports from professionals stating the cause they refuse to take accountability.The plumber came out and identified leaks in two places in the bathroom which over the last month would’ve been contributing to damp conditions, enhancing conditions for pests. The snagging report found 80+ faults with the house. Staircases out of plumb, walls out of plumb, sound proofing missing between the brickwork in between the houses and so much more. Crest rejected the majority of the faults as cosmetic. In a brand new house I’m not sure how you can reject issues as cosmetic. It Is a matter of fact they’re down to poor workmanship! Chips in the plaster, paintwork not finished or cleaned up, silicone not done properly. When I moved in the patio doors didn’t shut properly. Surprisingly, they did send someone out to this. The tradesman said they can’t have been inspected or signed off as there were fixing parts in the door that should have only been there for transportation purposes. The doors hadn’t been installed properly or adjusted to fit the space. It also hasn’t been siliconed thoroughly on the outside.The new build house has caused me nothing but stress, anxiety and many sleepless nights.I would absolutely avoid Crest Nicholson and Sage Homes

TrustpilotCrest Nicholson Windsor Gate, excellent home design
We were looking for a traditional stylish new home. Crest Nicholson has provided us with a stunning selection of gorgeous detached houses with unusually large gardens, no property is over looked and simply meticulous house design. At first, I couldn't exactly imagine how the development is offering anything different. But due to the circumstances (.....) I revisited this particular site. Honestly, I was surprised at the level of the service and quality of the workmanship that has been put in to build those lovely houses. This is beautifully planned living by design, nature and environmental protection all the same.Although I feel I have a great place to live in, I was cautious about making right choice in these market conditions. The developer understood our concerns, we felt supported in every way throughout the house buying process. Very transparent service, safe transactions, overall our development has abundance of offerings for all budget and taste all the same.

TrustpilotUnusable solar panels and missing railing after 1.5 years
We bought a property at Morton Park and moved in last April. It came with a PV system apparently at the request of the council. One and a half year later, the solar panels are still unusable because they asked us to switch the system off but have not been able to arrange a safety check, not to mention the missing MCS certificate and DNO letter, and the missing railing which they kept saying they were going to install after 1.5 years.

TrustpilotDanielle - credit to the Crest team!
We haven’t had the chance to move into our new home yet but we are almost there and we would not have got to this point without Danielle from Crest! Our buyer’s solicitors are the absolute worst and if it wasn’t for Danielle we would not have been moving in this week, 6 months of Danielle constantly chasing everyone for us, she never gave up! If you ever need a job doing get Danielle to do it, she’s amazing, a goal-driven individual and a credit to Crest’s team.We can’t wait to move into our beautifully built new family home, we will have so much space, the room layout is fantastic for a four bed house, we all have good size rooms and finally we have a garden for the dog! Our forever home!

3 years I’m leaving in one of the brand new home made from crest and I’ve already spent around 3k to fix all the issue made from them, ceiling scraped door not closing and scraped all the wall near to it and all the time I keep calling them and the answer is always the same : someone will come and I’m still waiting from 3 years and now that I’m still waiting for a door to be repaired and they keep pushing forward they said they are sorry but I’m out of warranty, absolutely a joke I will personally advice to do not trust them based on my personal experience

We are on the Kingsmead Development in Faversham, Kent. There are ongoing building issues regarding the fence directly behind our plot. We spoke with the site manager regarding this and he came to our garden. Our 7 year old autistic son was playing with his water gun while my husband and himself were having a conversation. Our son was squirting water at me and ended up squirting the site manager as well. He then proceeded to say “YOU CAN’T CONTROL YOUR CHILDREN” First of all, this is HIS GARDEN. Second, he’s an autistic child trying to have fun IN HIS OWN GARDEN. He has no right to say any of that nor was that called for. I WANT THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

TrustpilotI do not recommend Crest to anyone
I do not recommend Crest to anyone. I wonder if the bad reviews get taken down? Their customer service is shocking, 3 years down the line we still have big snagging that needs dealing with. Bubbling in the flooring was supposed to be fixed a few months after entering the property!!Currently we have works in the development digging up the paths. I wouldn’t mind if we were told. Especially as it’s happening right outside my house blocking my pathway. Creat haven’t let us know our path will be out of action! What would happen if I was in a wheelchair? I wouldn’t be able to get out as my path would be blocked. What a joke!! Health and Safety checks done?? I could go on, but I’m exhausted by Crest. We will not be buying from crest again.
