We love our little bungalow, the layout is perfect for us and the location is really quiet. The park still isn’t finished, there are quite a few families on site now and it’s a shame they haven’t completed it yet. Tilia and together homes are still the same, it still takes an age to get anything done.
The local area is lovely. Longridge has lots of lovely shops and is just a few minutes drive. We’ve been here 2 years now, it’s our 2nd Christmas here. Transport to Longridge or Preston is good, there are bus stops both ways just at the entrance of our estate.
Just make sure you check every inch of your house, you paid for it and it should be perfect. I wish we had know more about who to contact regarding the snags, it was so frustrating at times but don’t give up.
Oh it took an age to get our snags completed. They are now completed but our front door issue was only completed a few days ago, 18 months after we 1st reported it. They installed a streetlight opposite our bedroom window which lit up our bedroom like a Christmas tree so I contact our building management and they did nothing so after many calls and emails they came and moved the head of the streetlight a bit which solved the problem which we really pleased about however it shouldn’t always be a fight to get things done.
The estate has been designed well with nice quiet cul-de-sacs. Lots of detached houses alongside some semi-detached and a small section of affordable housing. Nice variety of designs and colours between houses on the same roads. Currently the facilities are minimal, but we are expecting this will improve as the estate nears completion. Only a few issues to date with the house, which have mostly been dealt with quickly by the site teams.
Good transport links, not too busy. Good having supermarkets a short drive away. Not many restaurants or bars but a couple of ok pubs. Little to no traffic noise, regular bin collections and close to a tip.
We would have liked to have known that the east-west link road would be going directly through the estate.
As soon as the developer agreed any issues require fixes, the site teams have responded quickly and effectively.
Do not buy a home from these guys, it will be the worst thing that you do.
TILIA = Totally Incompetent Lying and Inconsiderate
I could write a novel on the issues that we have had with Tilia from the moment we paid the reservation fee to 6 months after completion where the snagging list is still not resolved. Here are the 3 most illustrative issues.
1. Forging of our Signatures on the Reservation Form
On reservation in March 2022 the completion date was June/July 2022 and a range of incentives were included. Over the coming weeks and months it transpired (only after nearly 100 emails and calls) that the lady who took our reservation printed out a brand new cover sheet with a different completion date (December 2022) and removed all incentives expect one. She the proceeded to copy and paste our signatures from the reservation form that we signed to “verify” the new doctored reservation form. This highlights the fact that you cannot trust anything Tilia say or do, even if it is on a signed form or legal document. It takes months of digging to find out whats happening and even then they are not interested in helping.
2. Shoddy Workmanship
When we carried out our walkthrough of the property 2 days before move in with the Site Manager I pointed out a number of key issues including the wrong fitted appliances, a poorly fitted back door that didn’t shut properly, and a dangerously fitted shower door in one of the ensuites. The Site Manager didn’t care and came up with excuse after excuse, “it didn’t say anywhere on the paperwork about the appliance”, “the door will settle and shut properly in a few weeks”, “the shower door is the right one, even though it’s different to the show home”. It took nearly 8 weeks to get a answer on the wrong appliance that was fitted (a washer instead of a washer dryer) and due to the time of year that we moved into the property we had to go out and purchase a dryer ourselves. When Tilia finally came back they admitted they had made a mistake and offered to fit the Washer/Dryer instead of the Washer, I tried to explain to them that there was no point as we already had to go and purchase a dryer but they were not interested. It took several weeks to come to a agreeable solution. The door was that poorly fitted that after a month or so the handle actually snapped off in my hand, when I spoke to Tilia about this and how we couldn’t lock the door they weren’t interested because we had more than one route out of the house so it wasn’t a priority. Great for security when you can’t shut one of your doors properly or lock it. In the end after numerous phone calls we managed to get Tilia to put a temporary fix in place – a new handle. At the time of this review (6 months after reported issue) the door still does not shut properly and the new handle is about to snap off too. Again I have reported this to Tilia and they are not interested. The other major issue was the Shower Door, it opened and slammed hard against a sink, it is perhaps one of the worst design ideas I have seen. This was a massive hazard as we are talking about a 7ft pane of glass slamming into a sink every time it opens. Again I made numerous reports to Site and Head Office who said it was standard, that is what should be fitted. After speaking to the next door neighbours it became clear that it was only our house that had that fitting but Tilia still refused to change it. We had to send numerous pictures to Head Office before they finally agreed to change the dangerous shower door.
These are only 3 issues that we had, we had a total snagging list of close to 150 and 6 months on over half are still not resolved.
3. Site Manager and Head Office
John the Site Manager doesn’t care about any of the houses, he gets his number 2 Matt to sort everything. Matt is a great guy but unable to authorise anything so nothing gets done. Head Office Customer Support do not care either and just read or send canned responses.
There are multiple residents who have/are facing similar issues. Gardens and drainage are the biggest issues.
This is a review for the Pastures Development in Leyland. The development wasn’t listed but I thought it was important to tell people what they can expect
That buying this house would be one of the worst decisions of my life
Barely responded, canned responses, no interest in helping anyone
The gardens are a joke nothing but clay rock hard in summer boggy can’t walk on it in winter the landscaping well two different lay outs one a nice lawn effect the other a wild meadow the drains have been dug up more times than looking for gold in the Californian gold rush the road has not been tarmaced I presume in anticipation of having to dig the drains again
Bus links very good reasonably close to town centre close to country side the range of different shops are good
That we had to have bt broadband for two years no choice
In a small cul de sac good neighbourhood all similar age group
