BAD HOUSES, BAD AFTER CARE - THEY DO NOT CARE!

You notice from the bad reviews they ask which region. I have responded but no response back. I am having to pay to get the radiators flushed out because they are full of black muck, which British Gas said should NOT be in a house that (at the time was 2 and a bit years old), they said Jones Homes should be responsible as it was obviously never flushed out in the first place. I have banging pipes all the time (which Jones Homes were told about, came out on numerous occasions and did not know the cause), now I know through british gas, hydrogen is building up in the tank because of all of this and JONES HOMES have washed their hands of this. Stop building these houses then leaving home owners to deal with this. Look at all these bad reviews. My two neighbours have also had the same problems. Baths not working, due to the pumps you have installed. So I am having to pay for these to be fixed too. 3 year old house with so many problems. It really is disgraceful. Well I think it is time for Watch Dog to get involved!

Be careful / cautious

Be careful / cautious.These are lovely homes and good quality fittings. However the workmanship and after care is very poor. If you want to buy just be aware that you will need to be prepared to manage any issues, snagging and repairs yourself. We have had no end of issues and so have 15 of our neighbours so this is a consistent issue.We brought 6 months ago and had an expected snagging list which wasn't getting resolved. For example - plumber came out 5 times first 2 weeks. Complaint to Head Office moved the very long list on a little so I'll not cover old ground. But no follow up from the complaint and very transactional / very curt in email correspondence with the air of how dare you bother us. No understanding, customer is trying it on seems to be a default attitude. 6 months on REPAIRS to damage in our property has resulted in even MORE damage. You would think this would result in an apology, be prioritised and resolved quickly. No. We have to constantly chase to see when it will be resolved, we are often ignored and have no idea when it will be resolved. We've taken time off work, and put our dog in a day kennel to allow for work to take place (which despite being damage to our property can only take place Monday to Friday in work hours or it won't happen) but the works doesn't happen. You can't constantly take time out of work to be at home and deal with no shows. Oh and then follow it up yourself. I've tried to be reasonable, explained that it's a new house, it's a big investment for us, it's important to us and we just want damage repaired (caused by the company) to be rectified but it just doesn't get resolved. Jones Homes couldn't give less of **** if it tried and really needs to look at it's after sales support - this is a lifetime investment and they should have better understanding that people want their homes to be what they were sold. If you are considering buying, just be aware that once you've brought you are on your own unless you want a full time job following things up ...

Very Good Customer service

Very Good Customer service, site management & Head-Office assistance.Having worked or come into contact with other Housing Developers I was initially sceptical, though pleasingly the the above was exemplary

Don't trust a word these people say

Don't trust a word these people say. Once they have your signature the smiling masks come off. The worse thing was finding out that the social housing on the estate had been sold to a housing association that houses reformed offenders - so my family end up living next door to convicted drug dealers and paedophiles. When i complained to the site manager - he just shrugged and said it was now a private residence and nothing to do with Jones Homes

5 Star Builder NOT!

Would put minus 10 stars if we could. Think seriously before you buy ........ having recently purchased from this "5 star builder" we can first hand say the build quality is appalling and the Head Office know it but refuse to accept it. If you want to purchase a house that will have lists of repairs and replacement work to be done while you are living there then buy a Jones home. In the hope of preventing other people having the same misfortune we are experiencing.please feel free to PM us and we will be happy to show you our home .... far too many problems to list or add photographs on here. Bricks and mortar build quality is disgusting ..... Symphony kitchen fitted by imbeciles .... no safety gas Isolator to hob.... kitchen has had the crap knocked out of it marks, digs everywhere .... units out of line and ill fitting - electricial work - sockets not turning off ... switches buzzing and light flickering due to poor wiring. Holes for wiring in kitchen cabinets look like they were hacked out with a chisel. Uneven floors .... doors throughout badly fitted .... guttering all out of line and not fixed together properly. Roads and driveways poorly tarmaced, uneven and filthy. All upvc windows and doors badly fitted, damaged and trims uneven, dirty and badly fitted. Ground around property not correct for dampcourse. Loft access had roof strut across it. Plumbing atrocious..... flush the toilet and water comes full flush from under cistern. Scratched bath ... squeaking and badly fitted .... knocks and dent to shower tray. Floor tiles scratched ... whole house externally and internally filthy. Fridge freezer you need a step ladder to use the top shelf unless your 6ft tall 😡😡Just one or two problems on the list ... so many more . Welcome to Ribbleswood Chase! Construction Director words of the week "I appreciate" - stop appreciating and get sorted the 5 star house you promised rather than the "within NHBC tolerances" bodged shack you have handed to us....Jones Homes you should be ashamed of yourselves!

No integrity, poor service and bad planning. Avoid.

Cannot be trusted:They will state they do not intend to build anymore houses next to yours when you’re buying your house and then will apply for planning permission using private contracted planning companies (e.g. DLP planning) seeking to build a further 95 houses, subjecting you to a building site for five years and devaluing your property. Planning:They build streets that are too narrow with driveways that cannot fit two small vehicles on them. Garages cannot hold a single vehicle. They place manhole covers, access points and multiple service hatchways at random points throughout gardens. Gardens are of extremely poor quality. Shambolic after-sales service:After two years Jones Homes will refuse to answer any communications or deal with any issues relating to the building they built. Before this two year period the work carried out to correct issues relating to building was resisted significantly.They do not maintain the surrounding green spaces as directed by the council.

Satisfied Customer

We purchased our house at Cavendish Grange over a year ago.We found the whole sales process very professional and efficient and used a Conveyancer recommended by Jones Homes who proved to be very good. The house has met all our expectations and all early snagging was dealt with in a timely manner. Any other issues we had were dealt with by Customer Care very efficiently. We would recommend a Jones Home.
