Great customer service

Great customer service, during the lockdown I was kept informed on what was going on as the build was delayed. Finally got the keys to my new home and I love it.
Thank you so much Derwent.

Appalling

I just came to the UK to take a position as a surgeon. I arrived to my Derwent living accommodation to find:
Cocroach infestation in toilet
Window that does not close (the flat is on ground floor)
Bulbs not working in living area
Dripping tap
Filthy kitchen (in violation of Covid related regulations)
I have been trying to get in touch with anybody for the past 3 days but all I get is: somebody will be in touch ASAP, and still no action and nobody got in touch. I have a job to do and I do not have time to deal with this. Going to the toilet has been extremely difficult given the current situatio. I do not know what to do.

I was quite impressed with the state of the house. Everything was stripped down, ready for us to re decorate. A few minor things here and there but nothing major. Overall a very good experience

Moved into a new build

The move into this fantastic home has been amazing. Derwent living has responded to all my question and worries straight away and put my mind at ease. The only downfall is the development company of the house. It's summer and my kids carnt play in the garden due to it being just soil and there response is it will not be done till the last house is let. Which is like saying how long is a peace of string. However I would recommend Derwent living to anyone they have been amazing so far.

Any problems quickly resolved

Any problems quickly resolved. Everyone my partner dealt with has been friendly, Extra support offered throughout the covid 19 period so far, with courtesy phone calls to check whether any other help was needed. All in all my partner is very happy in his experience with Derwent Living.
