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.

Avoid! Bathroom lights gone in a year. Rusting on radiators. Poor customer service and told miss information from their team. Impossible to speak to anyone in charge to get things resolved. You have to chase them. They won’t come back to you or acknowledge emails etc. Bought the home December 2021. The customer service wasn’t great. Took 6-9 months to get basic things resolved. The quality of the homes are also quite poor. Eg holes in random areas, no stopcock for taps or toilets etc. you can hear everything through the walls. The land is also privately owned by Remus. So have to pay council tax and a extra service charge. House is freehold. Even though land is privately owned people keep parking. Service charge gone up by 30% this year. Have a feeling it will go up and up each year and we have to pay it. Bit of a cheeky scam! I’d advise buying an older house and refurbishing it. Not worth the money for a new build home. Plus the drama getting things fixed etc. The internet provider is also limited. Have to use persimmon homes internet company. Again a bit of a scam.

The house lacks storage options. Bathroom amenities are really average quality. Work in the garden is terrible with ground not levelled and rain water flows over patio. Property Management is amongst the worst i have seen. You can gauge this from the fact that its been over 2 years since i have moved to this developmemt but there’s no signboard with name of the road on Shepherds Green.

The development we have decided on is consistently improving, the design of buildings are up to date and relevant to current styles / standards. The grounds are kept clean and well maintained, as well as there has been sufficient parking supplied throughout.

The house from the outside looks great. The build quality and finish leave a lot to be desired. For a "premium" home builder the finish is extremely poor. From not having soft close toilet seats, to cheap fixtures and fittings which haven't lasted the 18 months we have been in the property. The communication between the home builder, site management company and home owners has been extremely poor, leaving residents frustrated to say the least. Charges on our service charge for things which are not even present on the development yet. Street lighting not sufficient and issues with drainage and poor ground maintenance add to the frustrations. Footpaths and landscaping are very poor to non existent.

Design of the houses is good, the estate is well laid out. However there have been people threatened and violent incidents by certain residents. There are groups of kids that run riot around the place and if you confront them then you'll get abuse from parents who don't control them. The police are called quite frequently and the management company and housing associations don't seem to care
