About Allison Homes

the houses are built okay, we have had some issues. the small snags were addressed in the first 2 weeks others have just been left for us to resolve ourselve. the development was suppose to be completed in sept 2021. its now may 2022 and it is still not complete. roads have only been surfaced this month. the gates at the front of the development have never worked (and we have had some security issues since moving in too, the gates being close could have prevented this). the meadow is full of dead weeds and hasn’t been maintained. there is mud everywhere and it looks so untidy. overall the location and house is lovely however the time scales haven’t been met and it seems Allison homes seem to not be bothered with your issues after you have moved in. everything before hand was smooth and simple. however when we first came to ask to view a property, the lady in the office told us we were very young and did we understand the responsibility of owning a home… this was all before she had begun to get to know us and before she knew I worked in the mortgage sector.

Moving into a new build gave us the opportunity to buy our first home. Unfortunately, our experience has been less than stellar with Allison Homes- things not done before completion, issues with our solar panels and damp in the garage, poor quality and finish throughout, roads still not complete, everywhere overrun with weeds and nettles, applications for further development despite assurances before buying that the area would be farmland. I’d never deal with them again.

The house is beautiful in appearance, however the negatives in design are the poor soundproofing, in that you can hear next door talking in through our kitchen, hallway and bedroom near stairs as well as them walking around and shutting doors and loud music if they play it thudding through walls and echos through every room. Also where the radiators are place are inconvenient to place furniture e.g. radiator in the plan was meant to be placed under window in living room but is instead against the wall so you can’t place a sofa there, also the wall coming out adjacent to the hallway affects placing a sofa there too. Would be better if distribution board was placed in hallway. Also we are unhappy with the sound of someone using the toilet/flushing upstairs is very loud through the living room. With building management, the staff have been friendly and helpful but certain things we raised to 9 months for someone to look at them and that was after we raised it again repeatedly, also still waiting on what to do about the sound issues.

Very poor example of construction and management of customer care by Alison Homes in Boston.
I own this property in Dec 2019 and today in April 2022, handles of doors are not working properly, electricity sockets are loose and some of them are stopped working, main door frame is loose and moving during open and closing of door, vinyl behind the kitchen sink cam out almost in a year after bought property and customer care took more than a year to handle this and finally push blame on us using more water cause vinyl came out. At the time of boiler service British gas engineer notified that wiring connection of boiler is not correct and it’s never switching off and after talked to customer care they again put blame on us saying service not done on time, till now I am thinking what is a relation between service and faulty wiring. Hight of the poor construction is galas in shower room broken in pieces and fall down in shower room when no one was inside. Just imagine if it’s happen during if any of my family member in shower room, anyone of us may loos a life.
If you call customer care, they are well trained to behave rudely and very well trained for passing blames on customers.
Other than this Gates on main entrance is fixed since past almost 6 months and never start working, garden for kids are not ready. No traffic signs in side the complex.
Be careful before you buy homes from Allison homes Boston.
