We are so happy in our new home - everything has been finished to such a good quality and the service from Jason, Debbie and Karl has been amazing! Any teething issues were dealt with promptly and nothing was too much trouble! They have helped make a move an entirely positive experience and we couldn’t be more grateful! Very glad we decided to move as we love our new home and it really has been made completely hassle free thanks to the help of the team at bovis!

Thank you Catherine!!

This is my first time buying a home and with such a big relocation from London-Newcastle I was really nervous it would be super stressful. Catherine the sales manager on site has gone above and beyond for us. Being unable to view the house as often as we’ve like, she’s kept us in the loop every step of the way, with pictures and texts. Catherine answered all questions promptly and clearly so we understood them. Even when we did come up to view the plot, Catherine was so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. The biscuit jar was always full for my in-laws. Thank you so much Catherine, I genuinely think this process would have been really difficult without you!
I’d recommend bovis homes to anyone buying a property.

We recently reserved our new home in Harrington garden exeter,and we’re very grateful to David and Mat for their support during this exciting first step of our home-buying journey.

From the very beginning, they were professional, approachable, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the reservation process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt informed and comfortable with each decision.

Buying a new home is a big milestone, and their knowledge, patience, and support made the process much smoother and less stressful. We truly appreciate their help and look forward to continuing this journey with their guidance as our new home is being built.

Given misleading information about neighbouring properties- not what was expected

I bought a home from Bovis and have been very disappointed about my experience and how a serious concern has been handled.

During the sales process I was given clear assurances about the nature of the development and the surrounding properties which formed an important part of my decision to buy. This included assurances given by the sales team that the neighbouring properties would be privately owned. This was not turned out to reflect the reality.

When I raised this, the response was to rely on contract wording and say that no such statement were made, rather that properly addressing what I was told at the time. They have since confirmed that the neighbouring plots previously stated as privately owners were sold to the local council but maintain this isn't an issue and no mis-selling took place.

From a buyers perspective this completely misses the point. The information provided during the sales process directly influenced my decision and its frustrating to see it dismissed so easily afterwards.

The matter is now with CEDR for independent review.

Overall an incredibly disappointing experience. I would strong recommend that anyone buying from Bovis ensures that any assurances given during the sales process are confirmed in writing as they may no be acknowledged later.

Hi T P,


Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience has been disappointing and understand why you feel frustrated.

We appreciate that information provided during the sales process is an important part of a customer’s decision-making, and we recognise how concerning it can be when expectations do not align with the eventual outcome. When this matter was raised, our teams reviewed the sales documentation and available records carefully, including the contract and reservation information, which form the formal basis of the purchase agreement.

Our communities are multi-tenure, meaning that we provide a mix of ownership models to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to call somewhere home. The make-up of our communities can change throughout the lifecycle of the development, to reflect the changing needs of the neighbourhood.

In the case of your community, some homes were privately sold to the local authority.

Our position remains that this does not alter the nature, specification, or value of your home, nor does it constitute mis-selling as our sales materials state that the layout landscaping and tenure of all dwellings may be subject to change through the course of the development. That said, we acknowledge your view that the assurances you believe were given influenced your decision, and we understand why this feels disappointing from your perspective.

As the matter is now with CEDR for independent review, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further on the specifics at this stage. We fully support the independent resolution process and will continue to engage constructively through the appropriate channels.

We do value feedback such as yours, and it is taken seriously as part of our ongoing efforts to improve transparency and communication throughout the sales journey. We regret that this experience has not met your expectations and thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Kind Regards,
Kobi

Do not buy a Bovis home

Bovis homes are quick to take your money but will take forever to finish the final touches to the estate once all of the houses have been built. It has been several years since the last homes were built on the Haygate fields estate in Telford, and over a year since final resurfacing work commenced, but every few weeks the contractors pack up and leave as if they haven’t been paid.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re sorry to hear about your ongoing frustration with the completion of works at Haygate Fields.

We appreciate how important it is for customers to see their development fully completed, including final surfacing and finishing works, and we understand how disappointing it must feel when progress appears inconsistent or prolonged over such a significant period of time.

Final estate works can sometimes be impacted by a range of factors, including weather conditions, contractor availability, and adoption requirements with local authorities. However, we recognise that this should not result in long periods of inactivity or uncertainty for residents, and we apologise for the impression this has given.

Your comments regarding the stop-start nature of the works and concerns around contractor presence are noted and will be shared with the relevant teams responsible for the development to review progress and communication.

We are committed to completing developments to the expected standard and appreciate your patience while these final stages are brought to completion.

Kind Regards,
Kobi
