We’re committed to providing high quality, traditionally-built homes that are thoughtfully designed to give you space to grow. Whether you’re looking for your first home or your next home, if you’re looking for more room, in the right location, with the best schools nearby; you can rest assured that we research the sites for our developments rigorously, to ensure you get the lifestyle you want, in a home that stands the test of time. We’re proud of our superior build quality, and distinctive designs achieved by our architects. They carefully reflect the character and heritage of the location, providing a choice of house styles which each have their own character and are designed to maximise space. This results in well thought out living spaces that work. Our talented craftsmen then add top quality finishes and you add the personality. GREAT DESIGN, WHATEVER YOUR STYLE We believe a home should allow you the space to live your way; so our bespoke design service allows you to make changes to your home’s layout to make sure that it works for the whole family. You can customise your new home’s interior from top to bottom creating an affordable, yet luxurious home. Choose from high-spec kitchen appliances, stylish worktops and Bosch appliances, personalise bathrooms with stunning Italian ceramics and wall colours to suit your theme. We even have a range of designer furnishing packages available, which allow you to make your home as individual as you are and offer excellent value for money. If you choose to furnish your home with us, we’ll even make sure everything is delivered and in place ready for you to move in and relax. YOUR SEARCH IS OVER Our attention to detail doesn’t stop at the front door, we pay as much attention to the outside as the inside of our newly built homes. You’ll find plenty of green spaces and safe play areas for children to play.We pride ourselves in building communities, not just homes. All of our homes are sited in carefully-chosen locations, so you’ll have a range of amenities and the best local schools nearby. BETTER HOMES, BETTER ENVIRONMENT We believe in better homes that are also better for the environment. Our innovative technology and construction methods mean that our homes have great heat-retention ratings; which could save you hundreds of pounds on your energy bills every year. Energy efficient boilers and lighting also help you to run your home for less.

Our Commitment To You

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Customer Charter

Our commitment to you as our customer is to provide you with a good service and all the relevant information you may need at the appropriate stage before, during and after your purchase. The Allison Homes charter is our promise to you, as a home buyer as to what you can expect with regards to the level of service and commitment from us to you. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Reservation At the point you have made your decision to buy your new home, you will complete a pre reservation form detailing information in relation to the chosen home. You will complete the checklist and the reservation agreement, setting out the key terms and conditions of the purchase including the price, reservation period and other important information relating to your new home. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Meet the builder When you reserve your new home, an appointment will be made by the sales executive for you to meet your dedicated experienced site manager. This will give you the opportunity to watch your home progress, review timings and plans and to raise any questions you may have in relation to your home. Points of contact We will also provide you with a main point of contact during the whole home buying process. This member of staff will assist you with any information you may need during your reservation, your moving in experience and beyond. Our sales team are fully trained and can guide you through the process of buying your new home, assisting you through the experience and answer any questions you may have in relation to your chosen home. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Specification We will discuss at the point of your pre reservation/reservation agreement what specification has been chosen. The offered specifications are dependent on the local area, so this can vary on the locality of the development. You will have the opportunity to make some choices to personalise some elements of your new home, depending on the build stage of your selected home. You may wish to enhance your home from our range of “JUST FOR YOU” and our sales executive will be on hand to discuss this with you. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Estimated build completion When you sign the reservation agreement, we will provide an estimated completion date for the purchase of your home. We will then provide regular updates on construction progress. However, one thing to be aware of is that the building industry is subject to the very changeable weather which can affect progress of the construction of your home. Also, there may be occasions when events occur which we had not foreseen and are totally out of our control despite best efforts to take everything into account. Should you be affected by a delay, rest assured you will be informed of a revised completion date if this is required. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Health & Safety We provide health and safety advice to reduce as far as possible the risks of being on the development while construction is taking place. We welcome you to take up the opportunity of visiting your new home whilst it is under construction. However, building sites are dangerous places therefore access is at complete discretion of the appointed experienced site manager and must be strictly by appointment only. You will need to wear the appropriate protective clothing and be escorted by a Allison Homes trained member of the team during construction. Anyone not escorted by one of our representatives will be at their own risk and we cannot be held responsible. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Health and safety during occupation During this period, we will try and ensure as far as we are able that any further construction work on the site is carried out in such a manner so that it causes as little inconvenience to you as we can. Once you move into your new home, we will supply you with your homeowner handover documentation providing advice on the safety rules on how to keep you and your family safe during this time. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Pre- plaster inspection Prior to moving in you will be invited by the sales executive to attend a pre- plaster inspection with your site manager, who will provide you with a guided tour of your new home. This is a chance to see the chosen house type design, the positioning of plumbing and electrical positions and to finally confirm the “just for you” that you have already ordered for your home. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟New Home Demonstration You will be invited to attend your new home demonstration prior to you taking occupation of your new home. This is a guided tour to help you become familiar with your home including where everything is located, dealing with operational aspects, other various features and ensuring that you are happy with your home. It is important that you attend your new home demonstration as from our experience many customers find it invaluable in getting to know their new home. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Quality Assured and Warranty information Your home will be built in accordance with the relevant planning permission, building regulations and industry standards. In addition, your home will be inspected during the construction phases and on completion day you will be provided with a quality assured certificate. Your home will also be covered by a 10-year warranty provided by either NHBC/ LABC or equivalent. Details of this will be supplied on a memory stick following completion. Congratulations you have completed on your new home & our commitment continues Courtesy Call Within a few days of you legally completing the purchase of your new home you will be contacted by a member of our team, to ensure all is well. We will then make an appointment to review how you are settling into your new home. We call this the “14 Day Settling In” review. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟14 day settling in review Occasionally things may not be quite right and some items may need clarification when you move into your new home. The aim of the “14 Day Settling In” review is to discuss your new home, obtain feedback from you on the process and to agree with you on any items that may need sorting out. We will then coordinate with you as to when these works will be carried out. After the initial 14-day review and you have agreed that any required works have been completed you will be passed over to our dedicated aftercare service team who are there to deal with any warranty aspects for a two-year period after your purchase. In the first instance if you need to raise an issue you should email customercare@larkfleethomes.co.uk detailing the matter. The after-care service team will contact you to discuss the situation. However, if the matter is an emergency there is a dedicated telephone number provided in your handover pack. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟12-month courtesy call On the 1st anniversary of owning your home, our dedicated team will make contact with you to ensure that you are enjoying your new home and that any on-going issues outstanding are being dealt with efficiently.

Chloe Goodwin and Rob Bedford have been excellent in their communication with me. I live on the Bishops Grange estate in Laceby, Grimsby.
Chloe has been amazing at getting appointments sorted and emailing me back very quickly, very helpful and kind in her responses.
The work Rob has done in the bathroom has set my mind at ease and I am very happy with the result.

What a joke!

The only reason we went through with our house. Is the location and other residents on the estate, who are the best people myself and my partner have come across.

We part-exchanged and we had a 24hr notice of completion. If it wasn’t for the constant communication with our mortgage broker & solicitor, Allison Homes would have delayed us further.

We had the new buyers of our old property turn up at our doorstep, swearing and shouting because of zero communication from Allison Homes.

4 months after moving in, we still haven’t got our double- drop curb, no block paved road in front of us, just had our French drains installed (which has ruined our garden, awaiting for the landscapers to come fix the garden) … list goes on! Plus don’t expect a notice of things happening, the traders will turn up whenever. Plus they park on your drive without a care in the world. Rude, careless people!

The old site manager Darren was the only person who helped and gave us updates. It’s a massive shame he’s gone!

Only positive is our house hasn’t had many snags and is one of the good ones. Some of our friends have had no heating, leaks and all sorts.

Do not buy a house from these cowboys! Unless you want to live in Laceby.

So after 13 months we are finally in…

So after 13 months we are finally in our home, a quick honest review of our experience is below ⬇️.

We originally reserved in June last year and used Allison Homes Part Exchange programme. Without that we wouldn’t have moved, I think we have taken for granted how easy this had made our lives and was the best thing we could have done. Allison Homes offered us a good price for our existing house and we was able to stay in the current house until completion day, continuing to pay the existing mortgage, no money wasted on moving fees and renting, and saving on estate agent fees. Over the year that added up to a substantial saving.

We upgraded various items in the new house, the process for this is that quotes are sent to head office and then returned once quoted. At times quotes took a long time to come back. I think this is mainly because Allison homes is growing quite rapidly they was unable to process quotes speedily as they would be doing this for all sites. I think what would be ideal is that upgrades be pre quoted for all house types, or even potentially a brochure with upgrade options like other developers which would save a lot of time.

Reserving off-plan is always daunting, fortunately for us our model was the show home and we saw that being built ahead of ours, the show how included a render panel on the side of the house which really put us off the house (it was rather ugly) and we even thought about pulling out. We discussed this with Jackie who liaised with head office and it was agreed that it was to be omitted from the plans, we really appreciated this as we didn’t like the feature, it was reassuring that Allison homes listened to our concerns and addressed them to keep us happy.

We finally completed at the end of July after a couple of delays, the delays we accepted albeit frustrating. Fortunately because we part exchanged this wasn’t too much of a problem, and we accepted the reasons, mainly labour shortages and supply chain issues. Our mortgage did expire, so please be aware of your mortgage time line, extensions and expiry date and keep an eye on it, evolve (mortgage broker) were a little bit hit and miss and once you have your initial offer, they tend to take a back seat.

We got a professional snagger in to do the snagging for us, which highlighted some typical expected snags, a door and glass needed replacing, some painting, replacement kitchen cupboards, some cracked render, reselling in areas among other things. But I can honestly say that after care so far has been brilliant. Paula has been on the case for us and the after care team have dealt with most of the issues in really good time.

Over the last 13 months we built up a relationship with Jackie who was brilliant and more than helpful throughout the whole process and became a regular friendly face for our weekly (sometimes twice weekly 🤣) jaunts to check on progress. Jackie was always happy to see us and kept us updated when she had any new information, Jackie addressed all of our concerns throughout the process and I think she was secretly sad when we completed because she won’t be seeing us as much! She helped us make our dream home become a reality, even if our options meeting extended over full day almost (sorry!). Thank you Jackie.

We are very happy with our home and would recommend Allison Homes to any prospective purchaser.

****Public service announcement****

****Public service announcement****

NOBODY touch Allison homes with a barge pole. They’re quick to sell their houses and demand that you exchange contracts within 12 weeks to make you legally bound and stuck with their incompetence but actually can’t build the houses they’ve sold!!!

We were supposed to be in our house in April and we have been delayed until September!!!

Their service is absolutely disgusting and they have absolutely no control over their sites, can’t even keep control of some children getting on and breaking into to their barely built properties…

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS JOKE OF A COMPANY!!!
