About William Davis
William Davis have been building homes for more than 85 years.
A lovely home in a great setting
We absolutely love our home. It’s modern, spacious and well designed giving us plenty of living space, especially in the kitchen where the family tend to congregate the most! The kitchen came fitted with Smeg appliances such as intergrated dishwasher, double oven, cooker and fridge freezer.
We have plenty of outdoor space which can be unusual for a new build with a great outlook over fields. The surrounding houses are quite spaced out too so we never feel overlooked.
The building itself is well built with people commenting on the finish of the brickwork.
We do however feel a little let down on is the quality of the finish inside. We had a lot of snags which is to be expected with new builds, however 3 years on and we are still finding aspects we’re not thrilled about. We have plaster coming off the ceiling in some rooms, some of the units in the kitchen don’t fit flush with some of the cabinet doors not sitting straight etc.
What has annoyed us the most is the cost of the property management fees for the ground work when he site is not yet complete??? The children are unable to access any of the play parks, roads are not yet finished…yet we are still being charged for the upkeep???
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
We moved into our new home in May 2018 and have really enjoyed living here ever since. Having lived locally before we knew the area well which offers a good range of local shops from Post Office, Co-op, local convenience stores, hair dresses and beauty salons…all of which are within walking distance from where we live.
Rothley is home to a few great pubs serving your typical pub grub and local ales.
Getting out and about is also very easy when using the bus links to and from Leicester and Loughborough which run every 15 / 20 minutes during the day but our recent discovery of the park and ride has made getting into Leicester City a breeze!
We enjoy living on our street, it’s quiet and our neighbours are so friendly. Parking is never an issue as there is plenty of street parking for the amount of houses in our area.
Bin collections are every Tuesday, alternating between recycling and general waste.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Perhaps knock on a few doors and speak with residents to get their honest opinion on living in the area and their thoughts on the quality of the home.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Getting in contact with anyone in the office to help resolves snagging issues wan’t easy! Response times were slow and often none existent with us having to chase (more than once) on some occasions.
The workmen they sent round to fix any snags were fantastic and very good at their jobs, often going above and beyond which certainly helped after having had not such a great experience with the customer service team.
