GoogleI used to live in the area and was visiting so thought I'd check out the new properties. The promotion seems a little optimistic about ease of public transport links and road access. The A31 in particular is more congested than London streets in the summer.
On a positive note I really liked the architectural design of the houses and the established planting on corners and fronts, (not sure if this is part of the design) however there are far too many houses crammed into the space. It's a claustrophobic maze reminiscent of a holiday park. Households who need more than one car, (many in that area) must inconveniently park one behind the other rather than side by side. Gardens are tiny and the overall feeling in the middle of the estate seemed almost urban rather than rural and totally unsuitable for the area. My London street has a more open spacious aspect!

GoogleStaff and higher management not easy to deal with.
Much higher priced than comparable properties in area.
So pleased I didn’t buy a Bloor property found a much better value, quality property.

GooglePoor build and lack of quality control procedures at Wimborne Chase. Bloor are quick to try to pass the blame onto contractors and yet they’re supposed to check and sign off on all work carried out - they don’t check the work shall we say.
At the customer walkthrough 7 days prior to completion, a number of issues were identified including low pressure with the boiler. I was promised by the site manager that these would all be fixed ready for completion - no such luck!
Heating broke down within days, dishwasher flooded the kitchen on first use (not plumbed in!!) despite being signed off by the incompetent site manger. French windows leaked and took 3 attempts to fix, damp and porous garage with mold growing on the ceiling.
Quite a number of garages had the same problem which Bloor initially dismissed and refused to fix, but after complaining and bringing in the NHBC, they finally agreed to fix.
One extractor fan replaced after less than 6 months and it was hardly used that much. 70% of the window handles had to be replaced with 6 months, gaps in the brickwork in the garden walls and kerb stones. The list goes on and on and it frustrates and grinds you down
Poor build quality and materials used , no quality control procedures in place, lack of care and whenever possible Bloor will try to wriggle out of having to make any repairs, so you constantly have to fight battles with the ‘Customer (don’t) Care department’.
Their marketing hype talks about "quality as standard", "attention to detail" etc. etc. It's just nonsense and unfortunately I fell for the bull along with others who have experienced other horror stories.
Disgraceful company, poor attitude and sadly Bloor Homes just don’t care once they have your money. Stay clear of these cowboys
If I could give them zero stars I would.

GoogleToday we reserved a property with the team at Wimborne Chase in Dorset. To say these guys are incredible is an understatement! Every person we have dealt with, Sophie, Jasmine, Jack and finally Jurgita have been absolutely immense. We could not have dealt with better people and we are so happy we have chosen to take our first steps on to the housing market with Bloor! Thank you all so much 😆

GoogleA really positive experience. From the site managers to the sales representatives and customer service teams, everyone is reactive and really helpful. We were nervous buying a new build but so glad we have. Any small snags we had were sorted straight away and the Bloor team made it effortless.

GoogleModern housing development just outside Wimborne Dorset. Great new build for much needed new Wimborne first school.
Phase two has now started across the road. Has taken a few years with disruption to local roads. Hopefully this will end soon

GoogleJust looking at the new houses being built , great being on the outskirts of Wimborne, but too close together and no privacy from neighbours, put me off.
