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.

Property maintenance good, nice big rooms even the kitchen, very quiet area, property management was well handled but only within the first year of living here, had to wait up to one week max for anyone to come round

HOUSES NICELY DESIGNED , RANGING FROM SOCIAL HOUSING TO 5 BEDROOM DETACHED. IN MY VIEW AS A DRIVER POOR DESIGN IN THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY IN AND OUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND IT IS NOT A PARTICULARLY WIDE ROAD (TWO CARS WIDTH) STILL A DEVELOPMENT WITH MORE HOUSES BEING BUILT , BUT MAINTENANCE OF COMMUNAL AREAS OK , ALTHOUGH QUALITY OF GRASS VERGES / GARDENS LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED DUE TO TURF LAID ON CONCRETE AT THE BOUNDARIES WHICH DIES OFF DUE TO LACK OF SPACE TO GROW. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN DISAPPOINTING IN TERMS OF DELAYS IN COMPLETING THE PROPERTY RESULTING IN HAVING TO LIVE IN A HOTEL FOR 2/3 WEEKS TO ENABLE DAUGHTERS TO ATTEND NEW YEAR AT NEW SCHOOL , FAILURE TO CORRECT SNAGGING ISSUES AND DENIAL OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR WATER LEAKS - BOILER OUTLET ALLOWS RAIN WATER TO ENTER AND LEAK DOWN WALL BUT ACCORDING TO BOVIS THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AS IN THEIR OPINION THE BOILER HAS BEEN CORRECTLY INSTALLED - CUSTOMER CARE / TAKING RESPONSIBILITY IS NON EXISTENT AND THIS FOLLOWS ON FROM THE DISCOVERY OF A GAS LEAK UNDER THE PAVEMENT OUTSIDE OUR PROPERTY WHICH WAS ATTENDED BY EMERGENCY SERVICES WHO ADVISED THAT THE PIPE WHEN INSTALLED WAS LEAKING AND HAD BEEN WRAPPED IN CLOTH AND BURIED IN THE HOPE THAT THE LEAK WOULD STOP - THE EVENTUAL ESCAPE OF GAS WAS QUITE CONSIDERABLE AND COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS LEADING TO A POTENTIAL EXPLOSION - UNFORTUNATELY SIMPLY IGNORED BY BOVIS JUST AS MANY OTHER ISSUES RAISED! IT TOOK US 3 YEARS TO GET BOVIS TO SECURE FENCING POSTS IN REAR GARDEN WHICH HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY PUT IN DEEP ENOUGH IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THE REMEDIAL WORK WAS UNDERTAKEN WITHOUT REPLACING ANY DAMAGED FENCING OR THE BROKEN POST WHICH AROSE DUE TO BOVIS TAKING AN INTOLERABLE PERIOD TO UNDERTAKE THE REPAIRS LEADING TO MORE DAMAGE AND THE CONTRACTORS WERE INSTRUCTED NOT TO REPLACE ANY FENCING BY THE AREA MANAGER - THE SAME PERSON WHO ADVISED THAT WATER ENTERING VIA THE BOILER OUTLET WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY ! WE DID NOT EXPECT PERFECTION BUT DID EXPECT TO HAVE ANY DEFECTS IDENTIFIED PUT RIGHT FIRST TIME WITHOUT QUESTIONS OF COST TO BOVIS WHICH UNFORTUNATELY HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THEY HAVE TRIED TO DENY RESPONSIBILITY OR BLAME OTHERS TO AVOID THEIR LIABILITY.

The development is surprisingly quiet, and every house has a driveway or off-street parking, so there are few cars parked on the road. The first phase of the development is very open, although the houses do start to get a bit closer together as you move further into the development. There are a number of different designs of properties, so the development has a varied look throughout. There is a small children's playground at the entrance to the development.

Houses are poorly constructed, cheap materials, construction rushed and not completed to NHBC standards. Vistry changed internal structure - misleading buyers. Vistry site team are poor, sales team appalling, and Regional Management dreadful.

I like the natural features and green areas made available. The constant upgrading of more trees and family friendly park areas are good. Need better access to the cuckoo trail as in the winter the footpaths are unusable due to waterlogging
