We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The facilities sounded great in theory but it seems the builders are in no rush to actually deliver on these promises. We don’t have a shop in walking distance yet. There is a primary school and a tiny park, as well as a dog park. But nowhere near enough for the thousands of houses they built. No new GP surgeries or dentists so people struggle to get into anywhere. The local ones are already overwhelmed. The management company is a joke. They charge extortionate fees but don’t actually maintain anything. All the other aspects I mentioned in the first section of my review.

The design of the house is really nice. The houses are built perfectly there is no issues in the property. The best thing about my area is there is a car park right next to my house. The environment is healthy. There is nice and fresh air. There is no traffic noises or anything.

Bovis Homes customer service has been awful. Before to buy the house, they promised lots of things, and the long list of snags that they said it would be sorted before to get the keys was not done, then they promised to fix everything within 1 month after we moved in, it's been 2 years and they haven't sorted not even a third of the list, always with excuses, changing responsibility between their team. Maintenance of the state is really expensive and non existent apart from cutting the grass. We even haven't had the chance to have a say or choose the Maintenance company.

The facilities manage changed recently but there are no comms or anything and the residents have no say on which company to pick from for the best price and service. Personally I felt there is not control on the facilities management which mean the facilities can charge what they want but in return, I am not seeing any benefits from my service charge. There are rubbish flying from bins days but I have no contact or formal communication on who to contact if something goes wrong in my area. Apart from that the patches of grass are being trimmed and thats all I can comment on the "service"

Lovely house all round and decent garden, garage etc. Overall great house. The original build was alright but lots of snags that still nearly 3 years on we are trying to get them to sort. They made note of them all and promised to have them done in 6 months of the end of the snagging period... Thats well passed now. Over all though the 3 floor layout works well, theres only a little I would consider changing other than decoration and the garden is a nice size. My only criticism would be that the grass was just dead when we moved in. speaking to others on the estate, this is a common thing.
