WELL DONE DOLPHIN!!!

Advantages: Very professional and high standard of workmanship
Disadvantages: None

...had my bathroom refurbished by Dolphin and was extremely impressed with the service I received, right from the initial sale through to the completion of the work. Their Customer Service staff were very professional and efficient and kept in touch with me every step of the way. The fitter was absolutely brilliant and transformed my dingy bathroom into a stunning wetroom. Nothing was too much trouble and he had to accommodate my work schedule, which ...
...comment on negative experiences but I merely wanted to offset that with some positive feedback. I am airline cabin crew so understand just how difficult and demanding the general public can be. Well done Dolphin and I would not hesitate to recommend you to any of my friends. ...

George Wimpey Homes

Advantages: Modern, affordable homes
Disadvantages: No end of niggles....

I checked out my local George Wimpey development after being fed up of having very little space in our previous home. The show homes looked fab - they were very modern compared to all the other developer's & prices were much lower than simialr sized homes on nearby developments. We chose a 3-storey home since there was so much more space. Wimpey were fantastic at this point (bear in mind this was 3 yrs ago, when homes were selling well, so they ...
...homes....service may be even better now?!). They helped us sell our old home, by lowering the price & making up the difference between the sale price & the average estimated value themselves. They paid all the legal & selling fees, & even threw on £400 for removals! (For which we paid about £50 & pocketed the rest...!). The sales staff at our development were lovely, & the site manager was always quick to lend a hand when needed. Once we moved in ...

Be Careful with Bryant Homes

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Very Poor Customer Service

...last six months negotiating with Bryant Homes over a property in Cornwall. Their customer service has been very bad including numerous delays on their behalf making decisions regarding a part exchange and then when I finally received this offer they has used an estate agents who didn't even visit my property! This then meant that Bryant Homes wouldn't offer a reasonable valuation on my property. Their sales teams are very good in the initial contact ...

Review of Bryant Homes

Persimmon made my house a home!

Advantages: Reasonable price, good service
Disadvantages: Nothing major

A lot of people knock Persimmon Homes, as they do with most home builders. It may be that I've been lucky, or it might just be that people prefer to complain, but I've had very few problems and, four months down the line, am more than happy with my purchase. My Fiancée and I made the decision to buy a Persimmon property back in February when we saw their new developments advertised in the local paper. Not only was there no deposit required (which ...
...85% of the property, and Persimmon owns the other 15% on a sort of interest-free loan agreement. You have ten years to buy the other 15%, or at the end of the period you have to sell they get 15% of what you sell it for. The good thing about this offer is that they only get 15% minus any improvements you've made. For example, if you've added a loft conversion and a conservatory, they only get 15% of the house minus those two additions. We looked ...

Miller Homes - buy one at your peril

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Rip off

I bought a Miller Home in 2008 and myself and three of my neighbours have been burgled because of Miller staff's incompetence (leaving doors and windows unlocked after working in occupied properties). Rumours of a multi-million pound fraud add to the impression that Miller Homes are not as honest as they should be - and the residents at my development know that items that were meant to be includedd in our 'welcome packs' were stolen by Miller staff ...
...service website doesn't seem to work, so when you report issues via it nothing gets done and you don't even get a response. It was one of Miller's customer service staff who told me that emails sent via the web don't ever get routed to anyone. They've been far too slow to address major issues at the development, such as flats flooding when it rains because of bacly installed exterior cladding and have been particularly unhelpful when it comes to ...
