Berkeleydeveer Reviews

Cant believe this company has 2 stars

Cant believe this company has 2 stars on here if I am honest Looks like the only 5-star review was an inside job Sales team are nothing but a bunch of liars and they will go above and beyond until they get your money After which good luck hearing from them We have had constant snags and some have been rectified don t get me wrong but others still pending And we cannot get a reply from anybody The main thing for us now is the road Granted we have been in our home for over 2 years whilst work was still commencing so - fair enough But the last residents to move in on the street have been in for over a year now and we are still without a complete road I would avoid these guys at all costs Now bought out by Avant homes I believe

Terrible service

Terrible service We ve been in our house nearly a year and very few issues have been resolved Any snags are bodged by an on-site team and it takes weeks upon weeks to get people booked in to fix issues We ve had our new shower repaired twice already and both times its has tuned yellow in a week or so Now back with Berkeley and radio silence again Same issue with our front door It is unusable and not fitted correctly Been repaired twice now and we ve had it assessed and told that is isn t fitted properly Door frames are cracked and there is a gale blowing under the door Avoid at all costs

Rubbish company

I am very very reluctant to exchange contacts very soon Not a good start with th garden fence turf etc Its a cheap cheap crap bad workmanship at plot 4 Kensington forest I have no faith it will be rectified The fence is a bridge up mess Already slats have been replaced at my request in another colour Others need replacing now and told BDV I will not accept a patchwork quilt Been told fence wont be replaced as i asked The nightmare of problems have made me ill and handed over to my daughter to deal with Totally unfair A CRAP FIRM WITH NO COME BACK DO NOT BUY FROM A COWBOY COMPANY LIKE BERKELEY DE VEER A FANCY NAME THAT MEANS RUBBISH

AVOID this developer

I ll start with the fact that we love our house We were one of the lucky ones that didn t have too many snags or issues however the relatively minor issues we did have took ages to get resolved and a year and half later we have given up on the last of the list The biggest issue is the way the rest of the estate has been left and the appalling after sale service to update on progress or lack thereof for the communal areas being completed We bought our house in June 2020 and the estate STILL isn t finished the supposed high standard BDV hold themselves too The lawned area on the original plans is simply a layer of soil combined with rocks stones broken GLASS and remains of a building site Not safe for dogs or children which was one of the ey selling points of this estate It s really quite shameful and the lack of care from a business that is selling a home and a future to people is a downright disgrace Please do your research on this developer before considering buying a house from them Better yet come visit Galloway Grove in Pudsey to see how they finish an estate bring wellies

If I could rate 0 stars I would

If I could rate 0 stars I would We moved into a Berkeley DeVeer home 10 months ago and not 1 snag has been sorted All 25 plots have snags some of which are major i e the garage falling down and there is no site manager we have already had 4 and no one answers any emails and returns calls The site is completely unfinished very dangerous in places and nothing is being done to resolve it Residents are now going down legal routes and serveral complaints have been risen with the planning officer and an independent health and safety company We bought our house from plan in Jan 19 and we should have walked away then The entire sales process was a shambles and it has got worse ever since Not one resident would tell you to buy a BD home so please please don t waste your time

Do not buy from Berkeley Deveer

Do not buy from Berkeley Deveer like most on here the after sales customer service is frankly none existent the customer care number just rings off the e mails do not get answered In all honesty on our development in Barnoldswick I got off lightly however my roof like one of my neighbours has started leaking some on this development have said the extractors from the bathrooms are not piped mine are but we have had issues with our shower leaking through onto the stairs and we ended up paying ourselves to get this fixed and like my neighbour it looks like we will have to pay for our roof to be fixed also Also like other reviews our roads kerbs and pavements are not finished despite the development being finished if you can call it that over 2 years ago We moved in 3 years ago just before covid Save your money and buy from anyone but these

BDV deserve 0 stars

BDV deserve 0 stars It is now nearly 4 years since the first resident moved in on the Kensington Forest development in Barnoldswick We ve been in 3 1 2 years We are still waiting for our roads and pavements to be finished It s an obstacle course driving up and down the estate avoiding the vast number of raised ironworks manhole covers and broken kerbs In addition there are about 20 car parking bays still unfinished We have contacted our town council local MP and District Council for the last 2 1 2 years to put pressure on BDV Avant Homes to no avail Recently we heard from our MP that the council are taking BDV to court in a few weeks as they have breached a Condition notice which was issued against them and who have not complied I hope the Court wipe the floor with BDV who need naming and shaming for their appalling behaviour to all residents who paid hard earned cash to live in a new home Avoid BDV Avant Homes at all costs

Awful

I ve had damp in the new build property for over 5 months After numerous complaints and phone calls I was told to air the house out bare in mind its been winter I have a small child and the mould is beyond airing out The kitchen unit they were due to replace has been sat in my front room for 3 months This company are patronising and rude when you speak to them and charlotte is beyond useless They are making my life a living hell as the damp now smells strongly and I m lucky to even get a response My child has been coughing for 3 months but apparently this is of no concern to them as they have done NOTHING to arrange repairs other than tell me to wait

Shambolic and unethical company with zero concern for how they are treating customers

Update to my previous review after a year Still 3 showers that can t be fitted properly after so many incompetent trades visits it s incredible Collapsing land to the side of the property goes unanswered Roads are a disgrace and S38 years off Still waiting for front step to be corrected after 18 months - they can t even organise a contractor to look at it They underbuilt our parking by 50cm but apparently that s to plan and the complaints process an absolute joke An absolute shambolic company with no customer service or care for the pain and misery that they are clearly putting everyone through from the reviews on here When I look back at the brochure and the way our home was supposed to be buillt it really is just laughable We ve been robbed Disgraceful and unethical from the whole BDV team Maybe we should all start to club together on this as the strength will be in our numbers
