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.

Terrible build quality and equally terrible property management. I’ve been waiting over 3 years for Crest/NHBC to repair my property which leaks in large amounts of rain water. There is lots of mould as a result. This is all due to Crest not following building regulations and NHBC not bothering to inspect the property properly.

Oakgrove has a very modern design that resembles some American Architecture. I quite love the fact that there are spaces that have been left for trees and wild plants have been left to flourish and each plot, whether house or apartment building had a large space for plants and flowers. This includes the large Ouzel park that connects to Woolstone, leads to Willen lake and even Middleton. There are multiple okay parks for the children so that they don’t tire of the one location. The BMX park, however, needs a good clean up and regular maintenance as it has been neglected and now overgrown.

Yet another corrupt and incompetent house builder. My apartment was build so poorly that water ingresses in from every window and water streams in from the balcony when it rains. I have to place buckets down to catch all the water. The block isn't even 4 years old! I had an independent inspector round, what they found was shocking. The block hasn't even been build to fire and damp proofing regulations. Crest ignore all my attempts at contacting them, I know many others on my estate having similar issues. Cowboy outfit, avoid their homes. They may look nice at first, but they aren't built to standard regulations.

The development is good, but Crest customer service is really bad and we are very unsatisfied. The house was more than an year delayed and the whole process was badly managed by Crest. Customer manager was a bully and rude. I had to take actions w NHBC

I'm happy with the design of the site around the area where I live. We appreciate the proximity to the Ouzel Valley park with lots of green areas to walk and the fresh air. There have been some issues with our property which we had to address with Crest Nicholson management. Otherwise we're quite happy with the property, the site and the location. Sometimes the issues arise due to area having become densely populated which resulted in litter issue including dog owners not raking sufficient responsibility over cleaning after their pets.
