TrustpilotWhat great service, support, and professionalism
Just taken position of a new Bovis home in Spring Vale, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. Nothing but praise for the sales team, particularly Jess and site manager and his great crew who have all welcomed me and bent over backwards to provide a high level of customer service. My Home Survey report was extremely complimentary of the build quality and finish. Everything from the décor, appliances and cleanliness of house and garden preparation were outstanding. Yes, naturally there is a snagging list as you would expect for a new house, but nothing major and the site team have already started putting issues right. A lovely well designed and built home with the Yorkshire stone feel to the outside, but modern and high spec interior. I would highly recommend Bovis, especially in Knaresborough in a fantastic part of the country.

TrustpilotHollin Bank
When entering Hollin Bank we were very impressed by the location of the site and the presentation of the properties.
Hi Sam, We're so glad you were impressed by the location and presentation of our properties. It's wonderful to hear our team member made your experience pleasurable and was knowledgeable. Thank you for your positive feedback! Kind Regards, Kobi Bovis Homes

TrustpilotUnskilled 'Trades'
Labourers are doing skilled workers jobs on Bovis Homes.As far as they are concerned, if you have a 'Labourer' CSCS card, this makes you a skilled worker to undertake jobs like Bricklaying, Roofing, Carpentry etc.Its no wonder that the homes are so poorly built.The Emmer Green site in Reading is a prime example of £800,000 homes being built by two-bob tradesmen. How the NHBC covers these sites are as equally shocking.

TrustpilotHuge mess, low quality home, water from upstairs bathroom leaking through ceiling near front door and toilet now leaking to kitchen
Paid deposit in March 2024, We patiently waited for our home, enduring multiple delays that pushed our completion date from November 2024 to June 2025. We even agreed to move completion date by an additional week at the last minute well past the contract stop date, and what we got was such a big mess. We had to pay for a professional snagger as we noticed multiple issues as soon as we got keys. 200 plus items found by a professional snagger with items like bathroom exhaust fan not connected to roof, roof tiles about to fall off, bowed walls, floors unlevelled, misaligned kitchen cabinets, half finished utility room , the list goes on. Once we started living in the house , first day after taking a shower , water was coming through ground stairs ceiling, right in front of front door . Started using other bathroom and toilet seats came off .. one month down the line when we started using the other toilet we noticed that water from toilet is dripping to kitchen . Worst experience ever . I am not sure how long this house will hold and what else we need to face down the line. Living in fear. This is after paying such a premium , must be one of the most expensive house in the estate ..

TrustpilotThank you, Bovis, and the team from Lunar Park!
We are very pleased that we chose to buy from Bovis. Throughout the entire process, Donna has been excellent! She was extremely experienced, very responsive, professional, helpful, and proactive. She always kept us updated on their progress and was always there if we had any questions or issues.We truly could not be happier and are extremely grateful to Pete & Brett (Site Manager). Brett has been so helpful following up with the snags for us.We also want to express our sincere thanks to Hayley (Area Sales Director).We can’t fault a single member of the team, and we would happily recommend them to friends and family. Obviously, with new builds, there are going to be some snags, but we are happy to see that they did their best to sort them out.Thank you, Bovis, and the team from Lunar Park!

TrustpilotPremature bifold hinge failure after only 3 years, disappointing aftercare support
I purchased a new-build property from Bovis Homes / Vistry and have generally tried to be patient with various snagging and maintenance issues over the past few years. However, I was very disappointed with the response regarding a premature failure of the bifold door hinge system.

Peter at Coronation Fields development has been absolutely brilliant from day one! At our very first appointment, he gave us a great tour around the Coronation Fields development, and since then he has been there to guide us every step of the way.
Hi Saurav, We're happy to hear that your experience at Coronation Fields has been so positive! It's great to know that the team provided excellent support throughout your journey, from the initial tour to the 1st fix site visit. We appreciate your kind words and are glad we could make the process exciting and well-supported for you. Kind Regards, Kobi Bovis Homes

TrustpilotBovis , a very very bad experience...
Bovis sold me a home that was built in 2016 in a place called SHorelands in Bude. It is now Sept 2022 and they still have NOT done the road surface. They also charged maintenance fees which are not due till the whole build at Shorelands is completed and wont refund the cash. I will never be buying a house from them again or one on a development they built.Its now Feb 2023 and still no refund from Bovis!!!! But they have at last surfaced the road outside the house along the culdesac and it has only taken them EIGHT years to do it after taking the money for the sale!!!!!!

TrustpilotTime wasters
Wasted my time for 2 months, after booking a property. Suddenly came and said the house was sold to another person and they can only apologise. Still in a shock.

Please feel free to update your review with further details so we can address your concerns more effectively. Kind Regards, Kobi Bovis Homes

TrustpilotThey are cow boy company
They are cow boy company. They build houses with cheap poor material and charge a lot of money for them. We bought a house 7 years ago from them, new, and the issues are just piling, one after another.Incorrectly installed drain pipes, our toilets are continually blocked, incorrectly installed overflows, our roof is leaking damaging the ceiling in the bathroom and one bedroom. The sockets are randomly positioned, there is no level. There was no level in the toilet, the toilet was leaning to the side, the windows although advertised as breathable, do not breath at all, condensation is so huge, that we have water coming down on the window sills and on the floors every morning, the sink downstairs was installed cracked, the walls lack level and the walls were painted with cheap paint, which started chipping after half a year. I could just go on.Customer service is horrible, nobody wants to help and they just sends you round in circles from one person to another. They do not want to do any fixes, the warantly for the house is 10 years, we have been here 7 and they do not want to admit they are responsible for poor workmanship, rubbish management and awful materials used. Never buy a house from them They charge so much for so little they give.

TrustpilotWe had a fantastic experience with Bovis home
We had a fantastic experience with Bovis home at Edwalton fields in Nottingham.Especially Kelly Rudkin from sales team, she is absolutely amazing sales person. She gave a lot of information regarding my enquiry even something is not related to the house, it is my first time to buy a house in this country, she did help me gone though this complicated process with patience and explained all the things.Now we had moved into this lovely house, to be honest, there are some small details part it need to fix it, but the site manager and the technician Mark, Billy and Jim they are all helping me to solve all the problems.I read a many reviews in here regarding the bad service of Bovis home, I don’t feel in this way and quite a opposite that I am glad I bought a house in here from them, such a nice team.

TrustpilotSorry I can’t give a zero
Sorry I can’t give a zero. This is from a subcontractors point of view not about their allegedly shoddy homes. Was asked to come in for an emergency as they were without a telehandler and desperately needed one to help their project proceed. Dropped everything (including the work I was doing) to help as they were offering a very generous amount for the day. Rushed across the county and arrived as soon as I could. Checked with site management what the agreed rate was and got on with the job in hand. Workers were happy manager was happy and I was happy as I’d made some money. Then a week later I get a phone call. They decided that they’re not going to pay. So there’s me a days wages lost and the cost of driving across county. I think it shows the company in a true light. If they are willing to stamp on the little man I’m sure they’re willing to sell you a substandard home.

TrustpilotHaslington development
Haslington developmentUnfortunately we can completely agree with the other reviews on trust pilot. The company are focused Purley on selling. There is no customer service you are not made to feel welcome by sale staff. They answered questions mechanically and abruptly. They will not try to meet any individual requirements be that for disabled people or for individual health and safety reasons. Their out look is, it is what you see. No changes or adaptions can be made and they will happily put a property price up £20000 even if you were talking to them about the property at the lower price. harsh and uncompromising. It is all about the commission and selling. There really don't care. The Web site says the sales office is closed on a Monday!!!!! This is not true abd they are still seeing people and selling houses on a Monday so we missed out on a plot we were interested in because of this. No apology was given!!! Advice, Stay away there are much nicer and more ethically driven builders out there. We were only sorry we didn't read trustpilot before wasting as much time as we did with them.
