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.

Development managers struggle to stick to timelines in terms of agreed jobs with snags and property issues so often needs following up. Overall lovely homes once these things are sorted & in a locked location with access to lovely walks in the Welsh valleys

We love our home. We have a 3 bed home which it’s a smaller 3 bed however it’s perfect for what we want right now. I would say these houses are a good size for first time buyers or couples and even maybe young families however we plan to move to a bigger home once we start to think about having children as I’ve mentioned they are on the smaller side.

Been better the last 6 months and any faults rectified easily and quickly site is cleaner now however the grad cutters haven’t been seen as of yet lol. Had a few issues with windows and doors but they have been fixed in a prompt time. Garden is very waterlogged though

Overall happy with our development, we did find a lot of snagging which we would expect with new builds however we found the aftercare for the snags very slow and really quite disappointing. We had very few people come to fix our snags and it came with a long wait. We moved in December and have only now had a pot of paint for touch ups despite being told we would have this upon completion.

Overall the development has been good. When snags needed sorting they came back with a little more persuasion required on one occasion. However we have sorted the small things out ourselves largely. The main thing was receiving updates from the sales advisors which was scarce and we mainly kept ourselves updated. Lovell’s site manager and customers services were receptive to our feedback and Lee (Site Manager) has been great including the lovely JCB driver currently working on the site. House is design is good and revisions made were beneficial I.e moving door in lounge. However, we feel the front bedroom room sacrificed a little too much room for the en-suite. However, the gardens could’ve been thought out more bad drainage put in as gardens were left as mud pits and we are putting in a considerable amount of groundwork (drainage and levelling) to make a lovely garden. Furthermore when we were sold the property the garden was described as a “slight gradient”. However when James (technical manager) showed us around he told us a completely different story which led to the impression of a larger gradient and random useless steps. We had a bit of a stern discussion with lovell’s solicitors which didn’t get us far. However, When we had our predecoration tour we were happy to see the garden as described. Driveways are long with three spaces and visitor parking opposite the will be useful. However a foot and a half wider would be nice as it can be tight if not parked up against the house.
