About Bloor Homes

Whenever you contact any one regarding any problems with bloor homes it seems to be ignored.

It also appears that the builders are also fitting the wrong parts for this on the property too as I’ve had to change the radiator in the bedroom as it was far to small for the size of the room and the vent on the external wall which has flaps on it is also the wrong size and I’m constantly loosing heat in the kitchen and can feel a huge draft coming in through the extractor fan and in the winter water leaks all over my cooker.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Location of the estate is great in terms of bus routes and shops, bin collections are also great.
The majority of the people that live on the estate really pull together and go all out when it comes to decorations on their homes for Halloween and Christmas. We even have an estate Christmas tree that people chip in towards buying and decorating.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Wish I knew how poor the customer service was from bloor
Also they type of neighbours we would have and wish I would have asked my friend who does property development to have a look at the property before hand.

What is the best feature of your home:

Doesn’t have a best feature as it’s very cheaply made

We have a couple of local shops and pubs. There is a bus stop right outside the development along with push bikes to hire with access to cycling routes. We have a large drive that can fit up to 3 cars if parked close together, extra street parking is available also. We live opposite a play park with an open grassed picnic area and orchard. Bin collections are extremely efficient and they are always very helpful. A lovely estate to live on with minimal noise from the main roads. There are a variety of primary schools in the area, however only one walkable secondary school and lots of developments around this area means competition for this high school is very high, there are no catchment schools for the postcode or guarantees of getting a place from location alone.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

We wished we hadn’t initially paid for the development to turf our garden knowing now the condition it was left in when moving in. It was very expensive at over £600!

What is the best feature of your home:

Location is ideal, we also love our spacious top floor en suite bedroom with large built in wardrobes.

Manner farm is located is a perfect location for the quiet life and also perfect for the locality for shops, pubs and has a near perfect bus route.
The area of mickleover is a sort after area and is also well known for its walks down the track of an old railway that used to pass through.
The street I live in is perfect and secluded from most of the other houses amd also I have easy access to my very own drive.
One of the biggest gripes I have of the area Is the amount of dogs and the lack of courtesy from the Owners of they pets, the dogs are let of the lead to roam where they please and the owners vary rarely bat an eye lid of there dog fouling on someone’s property.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I’d of know the poor workmanship of the contractors that Bloor homes have fitting the carpets and also doing the tiling, please everyone get your own tradesmen and oversee the work yourself.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Bloor homes initially were ok at sorting issues and snags on our property but make sure you don’t do anything else other than take care of your grass as if it dies and turns in to a pile of mucky mess Bloor homes will just reply well you obviously have not been taking care of your lawn and therefore it’s not our problem.

Management

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I love the area in terms of access to the countryside one way and equally into the city the other. I feel the estate is well spaced and does not feel claustrophobic. It is in the early stages and I look forward to the walking paths and park which is planned. I love the design and my home. I feel that because the social housing adjacent to my house does not have its own parking this impacts the parking of cars on my road/in front of my house and as I live on a corner bend this concerns me from a safety aspect. This should be addressed especially when people drive at high speed round this corner. I also feel that given the management fee I pay there is evidence of mattresses/skip etc outside certain houses which should be addressed as this not only impacts the way the estate looks but the potential value in the future of my own home.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Whilst I was aware of the social housing on the development I was assured this is regulated to ensure the estate is maintained and would not impact me – however on walking around the development it is disheartening to see the manner in which rubbish is left in the street etc. I am aware several of my neighbours also feel this way. Had I known this before I moved in it may have impacted my commitment to my particular plot or even the estate.

I also wish there were limitations on where people can park on my road given it is a corner house on a bend – I feel that the way people park whom don’t have a drive can be dangerous with little regard to difficult in access etc.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management company I have not had any contact with as of yet.
