Expectations exceeded

The house has met all our expections; the finish is extremely good with next to no snags. I would not hesitate to recommend David Wilson Homes. The site manager Alexander and the sales team Lina and Mel are helpful, responsive and professional. The after sales consultant, Ellie-Mae responds at lightning speed! All the team are a credit to David Wilson Homes.

I would give no stars if I could

Applegate park. I would give no stars if I could. Their contractors turn up to fix the multiple problems you find after you've bought a property without calling and expect you to be home to let them in. They also blatantly lied to us about agreeing to fix our grass that is near enough solid clay and rubble underneath so grass has completely died off despite my husband being a gardener and watering and treating it. They said they would fix it then went back on their word trying to pass the buck on lies fed to them by their contractors - because the contractor told us they would be the ones out of pocket to fix it. The contractor lied about doing a soil test even though he just looked at the grass and left. Instead now we plan to take legal action. Absolutely appalling experience. My neighbour has had to have her carpets replaced constantly by them because they can't seem to the job right the first time. Multiple people on our estate are disgusted and the price they've paid for these properties only for them trying to wiggle out of accountability of their contractors work. The grass issues have been not just a problem to us but other residents. Also at least two neighbours have had major leaks and issues with their ensuites. We're expected to pay a fee for maintenance on dog bins they have but have not installed and there is a real issue with coming home and finding dog mess in your driveway or front garden. They also threaten residents with emails about not parking in spaces and to issue infringement but it's actually all their contractors whom are not supposed to park there! I could go on!

Moving into my new David Wilson homeMoving into my new David Wilson home…

Moving into my new David Wilson home has been a very good experience. The quality of the build of my house is excellent. There were a couple of snagging issues but I have reported them to the site manager and have been assured that they will be fixed soon.
Communication has been very good - when I have needed to report anything I have had a response the same day.

A huge thank you to Aaron Wain at Stonebridge Fields

We are officially settled into our new David Wilson home at Stonebridge Fields, and we wanted to share some well-deserved praise for Aaron Wain, the deputy site manager. Aaron started on-site right around the time we moved in, and he has truly been a dream to work with.

Everyone knows how stressful moving house can be, but Aaron alleviated so much of that pressure. He maintains the perfect balance of professional standards and genuine human respect. It can sometimes feel daunting to raise queries with site teams, but Aaron makes us feel completely comfortable. We have total confidence that if any issues arise, he will do his utmost to get them sorted out swiftly—thankfully, the build quality has been excellent, so issues have been minimal!

David Wilson Homes has a brilliant team member on their hands. Aaron is a fantastic asset to the company, and he is making a huge, positive difference for residents here at Stonebridge Fields.

don’t waste your time

We booked an appointment for 11am and received 3 reminder texts about the appointment. When we arrived we were not greeted pleasantly at all, just told they had ‘tried to contact us numerous times’ and that I ‘hadn’t confirmed the appointment.’ They accused me and said I ‘had read their emails because they could see that’. I explained I had only received text messages, no emails. The woman was obnoxious and condescending so I said I didn’t want to continue the conversation and left. I am appauled at the dreadful experience. Since leaving the showroom, I have NOW received emails and texts (and can prove these with timestamps). I think your colleague should be retrained on customer service. We are in a position to buy a new build right away and the shocking service has deterred me from David Wilson. I would not recommend even going to the show office. Don’t waste your time.

Love the house location and service so far. Except back garden I pointed out concerns when I first got the keys about the back garden corner which is completely waterlogged grass won’t even grow on it and the dividing wall is disgusting to look at with algae growing on the top I mentioned several times about this and my concerns were ignored. Also the two square drains in the garden at rear stick up so hi I tripped on them several times they just weren’t fitted properly. I’d think very carefully before I’d buy another David Wilson home. If you gonna buy one get an expert to inspect every inch of it before you buy. The old site manager promised a tree for the front but he’s gone so I guess so is his promise.

Follow up they sent an inspector out to look he agreed there’s a problem but they’ve still to come back with a solution also other items listed by inspector

The perfect home for the next chapter in our lives

After spending many years working overseas, we returned to the UK looking for the perfect place to retire. We came across the David Wilson Homes development in Cotgrave and were fortunate that the sales team had exactly the right house type and plot available for us.

As we were living in the north of Scotland during the build, regular communication was extremely important. Jono kept us updated with progress on site throughout the process, which gave us great confidence and peace of mind.

Now that we have moved in, we are very impressed with the quality of our new home. Having worked in the design and construction industry myself, I have high expectations, and the finished product has certainly met them.

Jono, together with the site team, Scott and Phill, have been extremely helpful and responsive. Any minor snagging issues have been dealt with quickly and professionally, making the whole experience a positive one.

We are delighted with our new home and would happily recommend David Wilson Homes to others.

The house was really well build and to schedule. The communication from the sales team could have been better at points as the emails could be very confusing. But overall everyone was excellent and we were really impressed.
