Awful. Be aware Linden homes Vistry Group

Awful.We bought a new build because we wanted an easy life having spent 10 years renovating a very old house. We should have known when we were not permitted to see the house (in the three months they knocked it up in) that things weren’t great, but we were excited about the new build experience. Laughable. It’s cost us multiples of hundreds of pounds to rectify issues in the home.We are nearly two years in and we are still waiting for painting, glossing to be done. Everything is poor. Report it to customer service you say? Good luck with that. Linden homes (Vistry) send cowboys that make it worse rather than fixing it. Linden homes send them for two hours at a time weeks apart. So by the time you’ve cleaned up after them (sanding dust everywhere, they don’t close doors, sealant wiped all over furniture, up kitchen units etc) your back at again. Issues were on the snag list, multiple issues have occurred since, repeatedly reported to customer service. Still no resolve. When my other half rang this week and suggested they use cowboys in their social media the customer service lady laughed! She proceeded to say it would be another 2 weeks before somebody would come to assess.

Worst nightmare

If I could give them zero I would. The most discusting deceitful company! Drag you through hell then push you down further. House is now lower in value because they installed a dog waste bin outside out home without ever mentioning there was one near our home. They don't want to help and pass the blame continuously you go round in circles. Do not buy thier homes!

Willow Woods, Ely

Just moved into the new Willow Woods development in Ely. Very happy with our home. Damien & the sales team have been great and the Site Manager Mike is super helpful, considerate and professional. Couple of small snags but nothing major and house looks great. Knocked off a star for how Head Office handled an issue with our part exchange. I thought that was cheap of them and we nearly pulled out but glad we didn’t as love the house and the area. Fingers crossed the love continues, will update if it doesn’t but for now, we would definitely recommend.

Manor View East Grinstead 4-bed

Manor View East Grinstead 4-bedOverall we are very happy with the new home.The quality of the build is very good. We had it inspected by a 3rd party and though there are some minor snags, there are no major issues. We've been in for 3 weeks now. Linden have been in touch and proactive on any issues so far.We love the house and compared to what we viewed prior to this it is about 10% cheaper than others we looked at in the same area and much better with an incredible view.Customer service initially was not good at all. Mainly that e-mails and phone calls never got answered, Donna would not answer my calls and never answered my e-mails. I would have to go into the sales office on site on most occasions.However, since Alex arrived in the office, she always comes back to me and has been very helpful. Clive, the Site Manager is also great - both are a pleasuer to deal with.We are first-time buyers, being a new build under construction when we exchanged was unusual but we got to chose all our own features and extras and are really happy with the result.

I am honestly too disappointed to explain why am I giving this review. My advice to anyone reading this is simple; stay far away from Linden, you will not be satisfied with their houses or services once the sale has been completed.

Staff are brilliant.

We have just bought a house at Minerva Heights, Chichester and both the sales team and the aftercare has been brilliant.Special mention to Joel in the sales team as well as the site manager Chris. I am a wheelchair user and they have been absolutely brilliant. What they promise is always fulfilled and they have gone above and beyond what I expected when buying a property and the after care.I would highly recommend Linden Homes - especially with the staff they have here in Chichester.

Sorry 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.

Linden Homes - The Priors, Warwick

Linden Homes - The Priors, Warwick This is an honest review, with first hand experience of this company. We’ve had too many negative experiences with this company and their suspicious Google reviews. My advice would be not to buy any properties advertised or sold by Vistry Homes.The site management on this site is extremely poor, with a number of staff having left the site since the initial build phase. The company take no responsibility for their appalling actions and push the blame on to the customer.Staff lie to cover their tracks and complaints are not fairly investigated. When this is all undone they fail to answer direct questions.Our negative experiences begun with incorrect information given by Sales staff. Followed by poor site management by Joshua Crowther and particularly Russell Thorpe, who is continuously forgetful. Customer Services Director Sharon Warrington is extremely unprofessional and is focused on customer blaming and struggles to understand the concept of answering direct questions.Their employees canvass for 5 star NHBC ratings, without being deserving and inform customers not to tell neighbours when they complete further work, so that neighbours do not request the same. They also offer day trips to complete remedial work. All of which we have refused. We also vacated our property for a number of days whilst some of the excessive remedial works were completed, but Vistry fail to remember this, as it is all too embarrassing for them especially knowing that they put us through this with a 2 week old newborn.They also openly admit that the issues with our property and the time to rectify them has been excessive but do very little to address this and then bewilderingly make out as if those issues no longer exist and have been resolved.Please document your interactions with this company if you are a customer, as Senior Managers Darren Beale and Stephen Teagle fail to address clear and obvious errors by their staff.An utter mess of a company.

Oak Farm Meadow

Oak Farm Meadow, Linden Homes.We have bought a house here. We very nearly bought one at a different company and we're very glad we changed to Linden Homes. The sales executive Nikki, is incredibly knowledgeable, there is nothing she was unable to answer for us (and we ask a lot of questions repeatedly!) She has been incredibly patient and has gone the extra mile many times during the process of our purchase. She has held our hand through the nervous parts whilst exchanging and has gone out of her way to ensure we are happy with our purchase and everything is perfect. This is a sales lady who really does care and guide all the way, she genuinely cares that all is as it should be for her clients. Added to this is Paul, the site manager. He is an award winning site manager!! He also guides clients through the entire process, answering any and all questions patiently and knowledgeably. Every person we have met on site has been helpful and courteous. The plot itself is beautiful and the room sizes of the houses are generous. Our house is finished to a brilliant spec, we're so very happy with our move and love our house. There were some tricky sales moments and some nail biting bank and solicitor moments that I don't think we could have survived without such incredible support from the team at Oak Farm Meadow, Linden Homes. They are responsive and brilliant with fixing any snags but due to their attention to detail there were very few to fix. This, I hear from other new build buyers, is unheard of. What a great experience. Buy with confidence here.Thank you Nikki and Paul, truly.

Pembroke Gardens

The best part about buying a home at Pembroke Gardens was dealing with Beckie (sales) and Will (site Manager) who were both very friendly, helpful and efficient. We are finding dealing with Linden's customer service, now that Beckie and Will have left site, a very slow and frustrating process.

Great experience at Walton Peaks, Chesterfield.

What a great experience I have had with Linden Homes! From when I first reserved in February 2022 at Walton Peaks, Chesterfield, to moving in on 1st April (the house was already built and nearly finished) the whole thing has been a great, smooth and pleasant journey. David in the Sales Office was constantly in touch with me before I moved in, and has been ever since, just to check that everything is okay. This really does make the world of difference. Yes, there have been a few snags (same as any new house) but nearly all these were rectified in the first month. Nothing is too much trouble and I would highly recommend them. The quality of the workmanship is great (had a new build before and although a much higher value house with higher quality kitchen etc, the workmanship there was very poor and shoddy - so consequently, I knew what to look for in terms of poor workmanship and finishing - AND I'm rather picky!!!) Well done guys, you've certainly got everything right!

I had an extremely good experience

I had an extremely good experience. Everything I’d imagined become reality when I bought the house at Linden homes Redcar. From day one the sales adviser Ben and Jack were fantastic. It was a pleasure to deal with them. They show a level of care for the customers. As I was a first-time buyer Ben guided me and kept informing me, so everything went through very smoothly and easily. They talked to me through everything about anything going on here. When I moved here the site managers Kevin and Carl asked if I need anything and if everything is ok, and if I asked them about anything they sorted it out. Although it’s still under construction, they are doing well and keeping it clean. I like the yellow and red houses and the road around them is very nicely paved. My house is a good size and has a good size garden. It’s conveniently designed with a parking space for two cars. I love the whole site and my neighbor. I can’t believe that I live in such a beautiful house. I would recommend moving here for both the standard of the home and value for money.Gosia

Nightmare housing provider

We have had so many issues that we would never buy off Linden again.There were so many snagging issues and things that weren't put right. The workmanship in genral was shoddy, trowel marks on walls, cupboards not straight, cupboards dinted or scratched, door frames made with MDF so super soft, dinted easily and can't be sanded down and easily repaint. All the interia doors are hollow and cheap. Oven and hob very cheap, the oven leaks water onto the floor, the fan above the hob just circulates the air and isn't a extractor fan. The hob was completely scratched after a few weeks as there weren't any pads to protect it.I have had workmen back to redo jobs which have made a worse job than the original.The drainage is also a nightmare and our downstairs toilet and ensuite shower are continually blocked so much so we can no longer use the downstairs toilet. The pipe for this runs all the way under the house at pretty much a level angle and the flush isn't powerful enough to shift anything down it.The site manager was cocky and arrogant when I wrote an average survey they gave me as jobs hadn't been completed and told me people who ticked 'wouldn't by again' boxes didn't get any work done. As soon as the showhome office closed all support ceased and emails from us or any of the neighbouring houses were ignored.It is worth noting that my husbands previous new build, with a different provider, didn't have a single problem. We love the house layout and plot but it stops there.

New home - sold with hole in roof- Harrington Park, Exeter

Don't do it. I am disgusted at the customer service and finish quality. My colleague bought his first home at Harrington Park, Exeter. There is a hole in the roof, fibre hanging off the property, a dent in the door and paint on the handle. Someone called Lauren at Linden is not taking him seriously with the biggest purchase he will ever make in his life. Disgusted. Linden just want his money, not his happiness. A job badly done And you cut down all the mature trees on the edge of the quarry site♻️

Excellent - New Linden Home at Minerva Heights, Chichester

We purchased a new Linden Home at the MINERVA HEIGHTS site near Chichester. We received excellent service from the whole Linden team. The Sales team, Molly and Niall were second to none. They helped and guided us through all the steps in the process with follow up conversations and visits during and after our move, ensuring we were happy and everything was as we wished. They both were on hand and gave helpful advice all along the way. We moved a great distance to be nearer our family and they made it as stress free as possible, we cannot speak highly enough about the journey we experienced with them. Both are friendly and professional and we felt very comfortable and confident in dealing with them. They are a great asset to Linden. In addition, Levi, (Sales Progression Team) was superb at helping us to complete our purchase process, and went above and beyond to ensure we could move in on the date we had all planned, despite the challenges created by a very poor solicitor we used. Site visits during construction were also good and the amount of questions we fired at Paul and Iain during our visits were answered to our satisfaction and if not immediately, were fed back to us from the sales team. Once we moved in, the customer support team, were on hand immediately and were very pro-active in resolving any issues we had on our small snag list. Lewis in particular provided an excellent service, and was really helpful, professional and efficient in ensuring things were completed in a timely manner. He was great at getting the various teams in very quickly, and followed up to ensure all work was carried out as we wanted, and that we were happy with the standard of work and the progress. In addition his colleague, Chris, was also great, and regularly followed up on things, to ensure we knew what items were coming up and when. I would also mention that the various trades provided to do the jobs, were also very friendly and courteous. We were very delighted with the way the whole customer service process was carried out, quickly timely and efficiently. We have bought new-build properties before so we have some idea to compare against and can say that the Linden process was second to none and made the whole experience one of a first class standard. We are very happy in our new Linden home. It’s a beautiful, quality constructed home in keeping with the style of West Sussex houses and in a great location.Thank you to everyone.

Kirkletham green site

We purchased our home on the kirkletham green site in Redcar, the sales team (Ben and jack) have been absolutely fab and have tried their hardest to get everything we've asked for. Throughout the building stage we had constant updates and communication, as well as meetings and we were able to have a look around the house before it was full finished (with a hard hat and boots on of course) Once moved we've had a few little snags which is to be expected with a new house, however the sales team and building staff (especially Carl and Liam) have bent over backwards to try and make sure we were both left happy and comfortable. We would definitely recommend this site to friends and family, not only because of the fabulous working team they have on site but because it has such a nice and welcoming feel. Thanks guys
