Looking at 900 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their warm welcomes, extensive knowledge, and helpfulness, making the home-buying process smooth and enjoyable. Many people highlight the exceptional service, noting that staff go above and beyond to answer questions and provide support, ensuring a positive experience from initial visits to reservation. Reviewers are particularly impressed with the high standard of build quality and finishes in the properties, which contributes to their overall satisfaction. However, some customers also noted significant issues with after-sales customer service, experiencing slow responses and unresolved problems with their homes, including drainage and structural defects.

Additionally, some reviewers expressed concerns about the accuracy of location descriptions and the unfinished state of communal areas in certain developments, even years after purchase.

Yvonne Orchard was Fantastic

Yvonne made us both feel very welcome during the journey of buying our next home. She kept it clear and simple, and nothing was too much trouble.
Her high level of customer service was the defining moment when choosing which contractor to purchase a home from, knowing that we would be in very safe hands during the purchase process.....and afterwards.

From a Casual Visit to Reserving Our New Home

We first visited Hereford Grange out of curiosity, simply to see what was happening with the development. At that point, we had no firm plans to buy a new-build home.
From our very first meeting, Megs, the Sales Executive at Crest Nicholson, was welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and always available to answer our questions. She took the time to show us the show home, explain the buying process clearly, and guide us through every stage with patience and care.
Within just a few months, our journey progressed from an initial visit to reserving our new home at Hereford Grange. Megs has been supportive throughout, helping us understand each step and making what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable.
Buying a home is a major decision, and we are grateful for the guidance, reassurance, and excellent service we have received from Crest Nicholson. We would happily recommend both Megs and Crest Nicholson to anyone considering a new home at Hereford Grange or any of their other developments.

Lucy at Aspen Grange gave us a thorough overview of available houses in our chosen range. She showed us show houses and available properties that had just been completed. She answered all our queries competently. She was very pleasant and gave us a thorough outline of properties currently available and in the pipeline. Her knowledge of the properties and inclusive features was excellent.

We visited Aspen Grange near Stowmarket today early afternoon.
We had no appointment, but we were greeted by Lucy Hanley who immediately welcomed us and answered our questions about the site. We did our best to explain our situation and requirements as regards house type, budget, time scale and what seemed like a million other things.
All answered impeccably, clearly and concisely.
We could not have asked for a better service, and left fully aware of all options.
We will be back!
