The best support from Ruby & Sarah at The Fairways

I can’t thank Ruby & Sarah at The Fairways, Story Homes, for their help and kindness. Jack and I are first time buyers so we don’t necessarily have strong knowledge of house buying and Ruby & Sarah have been so helpful, reassuring and patient with us especially with all our questions. Ruby has guided us through plans and options and provided expertise on what works well and what doesn’t.
We are pleased with the ease of the process and the support we have had.

Outstanding service!

Stacey has been nothing short of amazing from day one with us. From regular show home viewings, to reserving our dream home, exchanging contracts and all the follow up appointments we have received a personal and five star service. Stacey’s approach adds a personal touch to buying our dream home and has been supportive throughout. Her knowledge and expertise have been invaluable.
Additionally, Amber has also been on hand to support and provide excellent service!

Internal door issues.

Derrick attended our property to fix some internal door issues. He was able to quickly identify what the problem was, fix all of our issues and undertake some precautionary checks on other doors to make sure that the same issue wouldn't occur in the future. Derrick was very polite and professional and a credit to Story homes

We’ve had a fantastic experience…

We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Jonathan throughout the reservation process. From the very beginning, he has been incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain every step of the process clearly and ensuring we fully understood everything.

Jonathan is so approachable, kind, and patient, which made a potentially stressful experience feel much more manageable. Whenever we had questions or concerns, he responded promptly with detailed and informative answers, which really reassured us and gave us confidence in our decision.

Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and his level of professionalism combined with genuine care for our experience really stood out. We’re very grateful for all his help and support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Perfect Home, Perfect Service

Aftercare at Story Homes has been wonderful. My home had basically no snags or issues and was perfect. As soon as I have needed some support Michael in Aftercare supported me right away and had a plumber out to my home within 1 hour (out of hours) and the minor issue was resolved. Huge thank you to Michael for supporting me and for being such a pleasure to deal with.

We visited the show homes recently with Tracey Kelly at Tithe Meadows, Poulton-Le-Fylde, she was so helpful. She took the time to find out what home would suit us and let us view a finished property. We were impressed with the friendly service from Tracey and build quality of the homes.

We hope to be able to proceed with a purchase in the future.
