Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 900 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their warm welcomes, extensive knowledge, and helpfulness, making the home-buying process smooth and enjoyable. Many people highlight the exceptional service, noting that staff go above and beyond to answer questions and provide support, ensuring a positive experience from initial visits to reservation. Reviewers are particularly impressed with the high standard of build quality and finishes in the properties, which contributes to their overall satisfaction. However, some customers also noted significant issues with after-sales customer service, experiencing slow responses and unresolved problems with their homes, including drainage and structural defects. There were also instances where appointments were not recognized, and staff lacked knowledge about available properties or shared ownership options, leading to wasted journeys. Additionally, some reviewers expressed concerns about the accuracy of location descriptions and the unfinished state of communal areas in certain developments, even years after purchase.

Lewin Park

Lewin Park

As first time buyers Graham and Nikki have made the process so far stress free. We have absolutely fallen in love with the property and can’t wait to make it our home! Graham and Nikki have always been present to answer any questions from ourselves as-well as both our families that have come along for support. The communication has been fantastic. We feel very looked after!

Thank you both for making this experience so enjoyable and easy- Hannah and Jamie

Daisy’s brilliant Service

I had a very positive experience with Daisy at Henley. From the first interaction, she was professional, approachable, and highly knowledgeable about the development. She took the time to clearly explain all aspects and was always patient when answering questions. Daisy paid great attention to detail. She made me feel extremely comfortable and no pressure in making decisions.
Daisy’s customer service and commitment made my experience stress free. I would highly recommend Daisy to anyone who’s looking to buy a property within this development.
Thankyou

Awful experience

Our experience living here has been extremely disappointing and, frankly, unacceptable. We are now 18 months into living in this property, and serious quality and safety issues in the home remain unresolved despite repeatedly reporting them and multiple failed attempts to fix them. This ongoing situation has caused us considerable stress and frustration, and it is clear that the issues have not been properly addressed.

Communication and aftercare have also been very poor, with little progress or meaningful resolution despite numerous follow-ups.

We have also recently discovered that a significant number of the newly sold apartments are designated as council housing, which was not made clear upfront and has raised serious concerns for us about the future management of the estate and the community environment.

Based on our experience, we would strongly warn others to think carefully before purchasing or moving into this estate. We would not recommend it.
