About Redcliffe Homes
Redcliffe Homes is an award winning, independent house building company creating desirable homes in the most sought after locations throughout the South West.
Lovely looking houses, but very impractical. The internal layout wasn’t thought through properly, everything is cheaply made and rushed (much like the development), so stuff breaks and falls apart all the time, and not exactly energy-efficient – house doesn’t hold the heat in. Property management (Remus) picks numbers out of thin air and sends you an annual bill that, when questioned, even THEY can’t explain. Maintenance of the development is carried out by some lad you might find working at Homebase. Communication from Remus and Redcliffe is great until they have your money, after which point they’re hard to get a hold of. Gardens, mine and a lot of the neighbours’, are sloped and they have so much rubble underneath that they become boggy and make it very difficult to keep the lawn healthy/grow plants. Garages are too small to keep your car in, and it’s only a few houses on the estate that have a twin garage – most of them don’t.
It’s fairly quiet, but it has some lovely pubs and places to eat. M4 is only a stone’s throw away. Bristol isn’t very far away, and Bath is only 15 mins away. There are a few loud drivers that seem to have installed rockets in their cars, so now and again they speed by the estate for no obvious reason, but generally the local wildlife seems tame and polite. Train station is planned to open in a few years time, so that will make it easier to get in a train directly to London. We’re happy that we bought a house here, just wish it was with a better developer.
Rising costs of property management. House being so energy inefficient
They’re difficult to get a hold of and will maybe answer once but not follow up
Covid hasn’t help the development as it is now behind schedule, but they are nearly done and the estate will be finished soon just a lot off tiding up! A Greener more sustainable development wouldn’t have gone a miss, no solar panels, or electric charge points for cars!
You have all the basics and more, there are decent places to eat, their are some lovely walks in the countryside, Lacock is near by, Bath is not far Corsham is a lovely place to live.
Neighbourhood seems very friendly, There is a committee which has good intentions and looks out for the estate, a few litter bins wouldn’t go a miss and a postbox?
Good size for a 2 bed, quite location, good quality build
On the negative side patio is way to small!
Houses look nice, but the quality isn’t what you would expect for what you pay and their appearance. They also get very cold very quickly, so one has to question how well insulated they are. Remus property is also rundown, being terrible when it comes to comms, unless it’s to send you a bill, which goes up every year and yet the service remains the same. For instance, their gardening costs are astronomical, and yet they send a 20-year-old to cut the grass when the grass is either dormant or has dried up from the heat. Only the front of the development is more regularly maintained.
Not much going on in Corsham, other than charity shops and a few rundown shops around the Coop super market. Hopefully they’ll open the train station and it breathes some life into the place.
Wish I’d known that Remus would be such an awful property manager and that they would keep putting up their prices with zero justification
Uncommunicative, never pick up phones, never answer emails. Once they never admitted that they sent over two builders to fix a broken pipe in my garden without giving notice, which shortly after resulted in reduced water bills. Coincidence? Don’t think so. Luckily, Wessex Water, who said it wasn’t them who sent the builders, reimbursed us.
Nice place to live but it needs a shop on the estate as there is a 10-15 min walk to the nearest local shop and definitely needed on the estate very friendly place good neighbour hood team lovely looking houses and areas around the houses just definitely needs a shop
Beautiful house and location and very nice place to live
Happy with my landlord and who I am with
