Wain Homes Aftercare - Paul and Mike

I had a leak in my main bathroom which was dealt with very professionally by Mike and Paul (NW). I’ll be asking customer care for these guys to come out if any further issues arise. Very friendly and they give you faith in the developer when it comes to aftercare. Thanks guys!

From start to end I have had excellent experience especially with sales lady Thea. She has always been respectful and helpful. Always willing to help in any way she could. The property is well built but does lack a bit of storage space. But generally a lovely property that I am very pleased with. The location is great not to far from the town and plenty of places to visit. Customer service are quick and efficient at getting snagging results solved.

Amazing Support For Our First Home

My wife and I have just purchased our first home through Wain Homes and our Sales Advisor, Hannah Webb, was an absolute godsend. Throughout the entire process, Hannah made us feel at ease, well informed, and satisfied. Every meeting we had she made sure that we were always all on the same page before moving on to the next stage, and also she was a very welcoming person, helpful, and overall a legend.

Fence repair

We had booked for someone to come and look at the fence in our garden. Paul arrived over a week early to check the garden for us to make sure he would have all of the resources required. He quickly realised he would be able to resolve the issue for us today and went to get what he needed. Paul had been to our house before and remembered my partner and our dog which was lovely. He fixed what needed repairing for us and went above and beyond to even fix the gate which I hadn’t realised there was an issue with! Excellent quick and friendly service. Thank you Paul!

We bought our home at Hillwood…

We bought our home at Hillwood Gardens,last year, and we’ve been very pleased with the overall quality of the property. The house was finished to a high standard, with a bright, modern layout that has made settling in easy and enjoyable.

We also want to highlight the excellent service and customer care we received from Wain Homes throughout the process. Their team has been responsive, supportive, and professional whenever we needed assistance, which made the entire experience much smoother.

A big thank you to Craige, who has been incredibly supportive from the beginning. He consistently went above and beyond to help us, and we truly appreciate his patience, guidance, and commitment to making sure everything went well for us.

We’re very happy with our home and grateful for the great service we received.

Wain Homes Kingsley Manor

From our first visit to Kingsley Manor, Ashley made us feel at ease and explained all our options to us in simple terms and with no pressure.
He even pulled all the stops out when our buyer had an issue that would have prevented us purchasing the plot we had really set our hearts on.
The whole process from start to finish has been brilliant from reservation to moving in day. Ashley , Ian & the whole team, you are all a credit to Wain Homes.
Thank you for all your help.

Young First Time Buyers at Lister Gardens 2

As young first time buyers we couldn't have asked for a better experience with Wain Homes. We bought our home at Lister Gardens 2 and the whole process was smooth from start to finish.

Viv and Andrea were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always available if we had any questions. They also recommended a great local solicitor which helped make the process even easier. From reservation to completion within 6 weeks, they made everything feel stress free.

We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of the house and the attention to detail. Some of our favourite features like the open plan shaker kitchen, the under cabinet lights, solid wood doors, choice of bathroom tiles, lots of USB and ethernet sockets and recon brick exterior all make our home feel extra special. Even family and friends in the trades have commented on the high standard of workmanship. After snagging, we only found two very minor issues which the customer care team resolved quickly.

The local area and neighbours have also been fantastic. Overall, we've had such a positive experience and been very well looked after by the whole Wain Homes team (particularly Viv!). We would definitely recommend Wain Homes.

The Paddocks Preston

Recently moved in on the paddocks site in Preston, unfortunately when I moved in my initial experience was not what I expected due to pressure from the sales team prior to completion, then a rushed key hand over and lots of snags being found within days of getting the keys, however this initial negative experience was completely turned around by the site manager (Dave)and quality manger (Lynsey).
Lynsey worked tirelessly to ensure all snags were rectified as soon as possible. All snags were rectified over 3 weeks bringing the house to the standard it should have been at handover.
Due to a busy work schedule I ended up leaving a key with site so that works could be carried out as soon as possible. Throughout the works I was kept up to date with the plan for each day, and every measure was taken to ensure that there was no damage to any personal belongings & that the house was tidied after the works had taken place.
Lynsey has turned what started off as a negative experience, into a very positive experience. I have now been able to start settling into my new home knowing that all issues have been resolved to a high standard.
Lynsey’s efforts over the recent weeks have been outstanding, and have left me happy with my choice to purchase from wain homes.

Road repair unfinished 20months on, now 22 months

We purchased our wainhome 4 years ago in calder view catterall. Over 20 months ago, sub contractors turned up and dug up a section of our approach road,apparently to carry out repairs to a pipe in the wrong position. They eventually infilled the area with gravel , despite loads of correspondence with wainhomes they have failed to complete the work.
As a follow on from the above comments, it is now 22 months and still waiting. All the information requested was resubmitted as requested. Eventually they accepted that this repair had been overlooked. Regardless of this admission, no work has been attempted. Perhaps no one wants to sign off on this work, has the underground works been put right? I suppose we will only find out if Lancashire fire and rescue attempt to access water in a emergency!
