Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

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. There were also instances where appointments were not recognized, and staff lacked knowledge about available properties or shared ownership options, leading to wasted journeys. 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.

pleasant visit,

The staff on site were extremely helpful, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They took the time to walk us through the development, answer all our questions clearly, and provided useful insights without any pressure.

Overall, it was a smooth and pleasant visit, and we came away with a good impression of both the development and the team.

Lewin Park

Today we had a quickish tour of the Crest Nicholson development at Lewin Park in Bedfordshire. We were shown two different, complete, houses by Graham - the overall impression of the site is that it is very well laid out and, unlike many new estates, doesn’t feel at all cramped or claustrophobic. Graham himself was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions with complete honesty. We aren’t sure whether either house is exactly what we are looking for but the build standard is really good, and we still have at least one more to look at.

Professional and Friendly.

Joanna and Lucy were both incredibly helpful throughout the process, from the initial property enquiry to the reservation appointment. Their approach was refreshingly non-pushy, taking the time to make the experience feel personal and tailored to us. They made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and enjoyable. We would highly recommend a Crest Nicholson home for its excellent build quality and high specification.

Amelia the sales associate was superb

Amelia the sales associate was superb, very informative, very helpful and went the extra mile to show all the properties that might be of interest to us and to give details of legal and financial organisations re mortgage for the property.
