Story Homes Reviews 

The sales team were amazing especially Sam they were all very helpful, knowledgeable and professional in every aspect. I'd reccommed Story's 100%.

An absolute pleasure to work with such a outstanding team, Sam and her team have ensured the smoothest process ever, from sale all the way through to post sale, I can’t express enough how these guys are with you personally all the way. Thank you for such an amazing experience and an even better new home, perfect buy!!!

Really positive experience with the developers. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful, and the house has been finished to a great standard. Only a few minor snags, which were sorted quickly. Overall, very happy!

Not quite moved in yet, but the experience hasn’t been what I expected so far. From a sales perspective, Rachel has been very helpful and supportive throughout the process. However, it’s unusual to come across a builder that doesn’t offer meaningful incentives.

While we were offered £10,000 worth of extras, the price of the house increased by £20,000, which effectively meant we ended up paying £10,000 more overall. There was also no additional support with solicitors or stamp duty, which was disappointing.

That said, the house itself is very nice, and we’re still looking forward to moving in.

I will add to the review once I’ve moved in.

We called in without an appointment to find out more about the development.

Fiona was welcoming, down to earth and knowledgeable about the site, the homes and the house-buying process.

Very good customer service after speaking with Wendy. Very useful information and made us feel at ease.

Honest review.

We had been saving for years to afford our dream Story home and we finally moved into our home at the Highfields site on Whickham Highway in May 2025.

Upon moving in, there were a lot of snagging issues, a lot more than we anticipated and we were really disappointed with the final quality of our home in the first instance.

Our initial feelings didn't subside in the first few months we were in our home, and we found ourselves completely consumed day-to-day trying to get resolutions for our issues. This wasn't helped at all by the site manager at the time, who wasn't at all helpful and we found it a real task getting the help we needed to resolve our defects.

This changed significantly around August 2025 when Michael at aftercare appeared to take the lead on our issues and the extremely unhelpful site manager appeared to have left the business.

Ever since Michael took the lead on our defects, things have been getting done and we are now in a position, finally, nearly 12 months later, where most of the initial defects have been resolved to a high standard.

We have found the maintenance guys who work directly for Story to be the most helpful. Especially David who really takes his time to listen and understand any issues, and he works on any issues until they are completed to a high standard.

To summarise, Michael at aftercare has been a godsend for us after what was a really bad experience to begin with.

Would I have recommended Story Homes to others after the first 3 months of moving into our property, probably not. Would I recommend Story Homes now that our home has been brought up to the standard we would expect from this developer, absolutely!

We love our home and the area we live in, and we look forwards to many happy years here.

We have had a great experience and Amanda our sales exec has looked after us from enquiring to reserving our plot. She was helpful, polite and kept the process simple, straightforward and explained everything in detail to answering any questions we had.

Moving house is a stressful procedure, this being a little worse than normal with having our 9 month old, but she has made this stress free and we have no complaints and are very reassured should we need anything in the meantime. Thanks again.

Fiona at Summerpark is always happy to answer our questions and talk to us about the available plots. While we have not yet taken the plunge, Fiona is always incredibly nice and willing to talk about the plots available and coming up.
Hopefully, we will be having a very different conversation with Fiona soon.

Amanda was brilliant, very helpful and informative. We have a 9 month old so this is a stressful time with selling and buying at the same time but Amanda made everything run so smoothly we couldn’t fault anything. Thanks again Amanda we couldn’t ask for anything more from you you were fantastic!

Such beautiful show homes and Fiona really took time to talk us through options.
She was friendly and knowledgeable.

I've reserved my harper and can't wait! Sam has been so helpful in guiding me and answering any questions I have at all. I'm really grateful for her help and support.

Mark was very polite and helpful. He made a very good job of replacing the two doors where the veneer had started to lift. Excellent after care service.

These have been the worst builders I’ve ever had to deal with. The whole experience has been exhausting and incredibly upsetting. And if you’re expecting any kind of aftercare, don’t bother — it simply doesn’t exist. Bethany from aftercare has made everything even harder. She’s been unhelpful, dismissive, and honestly feels like she doesn’t care at all. The service has been absolutely useless, and I’m left feeling completely let down.

Our sales executive, Wendy, has been extremely helpful and professional in our reservation process. Wendy has provided us with a lot of information to read. We also discussed upgrade options. We look forward to continuing the process with Wendy and Tracey.

Purchased a Story home last year. build quality is one of the best on the market. had to speak to the aftercare team for a request last week. couldn't be happier with the speed and professionalism of the whole team, got my answer to my question within 48 hours (it could take up to 2 weeks). really happy. Thanks to Michael and Jamie for their help.

We had a fantastic experience with Brooke at Story Homes. From the very beginning, she was incredibly detailed and knowledgeable, not just about the homes themselves but also the construction drawings and specifications. It really gave us confidence that we were getting clear, accurate information at every stage.

What stood out most was how Brooke made us feel completely at ease through the whole process. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but she was always calm, approachable, and happy to answer every question we had, no matter how small.

She also showed great patience while we took our time deciding on the right house for us. There was never any pressure, just genuine support and guidance, which we really appreciated. Thanks to her help, we’ve now reserved a home we’re truly happy with.

We’re very grateful for all her support and would highly recommend Brooke to anyone considering a Story home.

Fiona made us feel very welcome and was very thorough explaining the whole process. She was able to answer all our questions and queries.

We have just moved into our Story home, and we absolutely love it. From initially walking into the showroom a few weeks ago to enquire and view available plots, to reserving on the same day, completing and follow up customer care - everything has been exceptional. Special shoutout to Tracy and Mick at Tithe Gardens for going above and beyond, super helpful, professional and most importantly, friendly. Nothing has been too much trouble, any issues have been resolved quickly and to a high standard - there’s clearly a lot of pride in their work.

My experience with Story Homes has been fantastic from start to end. Tracey was always friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable, taking the time to answer every question I had. She made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free, keeping me updated at every stage. Mick has also been great. He was happy to walk me through everything, explain details about the property, and ensure everything was completed to a high standard before handover.

As a first-time buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The support, communication, and overall quality have exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend Story Homes to anyone looking for a new build home.
