Given misleading information about neighbouring properties- not what was expected

I bought a home from Bovis and have been very disappointed about my experience and how a serious concern has been handled.

During the sales process I was given clear assurances about the nature of the development and the surrounding properties which formed an important part of my decision to buy. This included assurances given by the sales team that the neighbouring properties would be privately owned. This was not turned out to reflect the reality.

When I raised this, the response was to rely on contract wording and say that no such statement were made, rather that properly addressing what I was told at the time. They have since confirmed that the neighbouring plots previously stated as privately owners were sold to the local council but maintain this isn't an issue and no mis-selling took place.

From a buyers perspective this completely misses the point. The information provided during the sales process directly influenced my decision and its frustrating to see it dismissed so easily afterwards.

The matter is now with CEDR for independent review.

Overall an incredibly disappointing experience. I would strong recommend that anyone buying from Bovis ensures that any assurances given during the sales process are confirmed in writing as they may no be acknowledged later.

Hi T P,


Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience has been disappointing and understand why you feel frustrated.

We appreciate that information provided during the sales process is an important part of a customer’s decision-making, and we recognise how concerning it can be when expectations do not align with the eventual outcome. When this matter was raised, our teams reviewed the sales documentation and available records carefully, including the contract and reservation information, which form the formal basis of the purchase agreement.

Our communities are multi-tenure, meaning that we provide a mix of ownership models to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to call somewhere home. The make-up of our communities can change throughout the lifecycle of the development, to reflect the changing needs of the neighbourhood.

In the case of your community, some homes were privately sold to the local authority.

Our position remains that this does not alter the nature, specification, or value of your home, nor does it constitute mis-selling as our sales materials state that the layout landscaping and tenure of all dwellings may be subject to change through the course of the development. That said, we acknowledge your view that the assurances you believe were given influenced your decision, and we understand why this feels disappointing from your perspective.

As the matter is now with CEDR for independent review, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further on the specifics at this stage. We fully support the independent resolution process and will continue to engage constructively through the appropriate channels.

We do value feedback such as yours, and it is taken seriously as part of our ongoing efforts to improve transparency and communication throughout the sales journey. We regret that this experience has not met your expectations and thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Kind Regards,
Kobi

Do not buy a Bovis home

Bovis homes are quick to take your money but will take forever to finish the final touches to the estate once all of the houses have been built. It has been several years since the last homes were built on the Haygate fields estate in Telford, and over a year since final resurfacing work commenced, but every few weeks the contractors pack up and leave as if they haven’t been paid.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re sorry to hear about your ongoing frustration with the completion of works at Haygate Fields.

We appreciate how important it is for customers to see their development fully completed, including final surfacing and finishing works, and we understand how disappointing it must feel when progress appears inconsistent or prolonged over such a significant period of time.

Final estate works can sometimes be impacted by a range of factors, including weather conditions, contractor availability, and adoption requirements with local authorities. However, we recognise that this should not result in long periods of inactivity or uncertainty for residents, and we apologise for the impression this has given.

Your comments regarding the stop-start nature of the works and concerns around contractor presence are noted and will be shared with the relevant teams responsible for the development to review progress and communication.

We are committed to completing developments to the expected standard and appreciate your patience while these final stages are brought to completion.

Kind Regards,
Kobi

Poor After Care Customer Service

Regarding Peterborough, Woodston Mews Development. I am extremely disappointed with the level of aftercare and customer service provided. A basic fixture within my property has failed multiple times within a short period under normal use, yet the issue has been repeatedly dismissed without proper investigation. Despite clear evidence that the problem is isolated to one specific installation—while identical fixtures in the same property remain unaffected—the company has chosen to attribute fault to tenant behaviour without any substantiated basis. This approach reflects a concerning lack of accountability and a failure to assess defects on their individual merit.
More concerning is the manner in which the complaint has been handled at a senior level. Rather than seeking a practical resolution, the response relied on generic assurances around product branding and internal specifications, which do not address the real-world performance failure experienced. The unwillingness to acknowledge or rectify an obvious issue demonstrates poor workmanship oversight and inadequate aftercare standards. Based on this experience, I have little confidence in the company’s commitment to quality or customer support and would strongly caution others to consider this before purchasing.

Hi Kian,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your experience at our Woodston Mews development. We’re sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with the aftercare service you have received.
We understand how frustrating it is to experience a recurring issue with a fixture that should perform reliably, particularly where you feel it has not been fully resolved. While each case is assessed individually based on available evidence, we recognise your concerns given that similar fixtures within your home have not been affected.
We note that this remains an open complaint, and we regret if our communication or conclusions to date have not addressed your concerns clearly. Please be assured that your feedback has been noted and will be reviewed further to ensure the matter receives appropriate consideration.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we’re sorry that this experience has impacted your confidence in us.

Kind Regards,
Bovis Homes

Denise at Bay View Northam

Denise at the Bay View Northam development was extremely friendly, she made us feel welcomed and not rushed at all and managed to fit our viewings in at very short notice at a time that suited us without any problem at all. She was even waiting at the office door for our arrival knowing we were pushed for time.

Rhodri was a pleasure to deal with from the start. Very welcoming and informative. Took time to answer any questions and has kept in touch since our visit. We have looked at a couple of new developments over the last few months but the customer care at Hollin Bank is head and shoulders above.
