Eccleston Homes have been amazing through the whole process of us buying our new home. They supported us when things kept falling through with the sale of our previous home. Anne Newman in the sales office at Viscount Greent deserves an extra special mention and a huge thank you for working tirelessly on our behalf. Through the whole process she worked so hard chasing the chain through to completion. She is both a professional and warm person who always has a smile for everyone. The new house is beautiful and I'm sure we are going to be very happy here.

We know you had a a bit of a time of it with your chain and that Anne did all she could you help you through that. We know that Anne will just say, all part of the job, but thank you for your appreciation.

We're please that we eventually worked through those chain issues and hope that you're all settling in well to your new home.

Rosie was very nice and suggested that there may be some negotiation price. I viewed the property twice, made an offer which Rosie put forward to her manager and the reply was that there was no budging on price at all. So I feel like I have wasted my time and effort.

Hello Mrs Warren

Thank you for your recent review and we're disappointed that you feel that this is how your experience went.

We've now had time to look into the issue that you have raised and would comment as follows.

Rosie did indeed inform you, and not only suggest, that there are incentives available on the properties and these are as clearly advertised on our website and development price list. These are not hidden, and there was absolutely no issue in agreeing those with you. Rosie explained what these incentives could be. Our incentives are tailored to work to individual client circumstances and are very flexible and we always try to do what we can to make a sale work. However, there is a limit.

We're certainly not here to waste a customer’s time. Or indeed our own.

It appears that the problem occurred when you requested, and required, a much heavier level of incentive than we are able to agree to.

By way of some background information when a property is being purchased with the benefit of a mortgage, the lenders all have strict criteria on the level of incentives / inducements a new home developer is able to offers to purchasers and the amount that you requested would have clearly breached those.

We have a legal obligation to disclose the level of incentives to the lender, and this is done via certification provided to the surveyor at the site survey visit.

The upshot of excessive incentives can lead to problems that include rates, deals or loan to values being affected, or even withdrawn from customers and so there is clearly no point in us breaching these rules in the first instance.

We believe that Rosie explained this to you.

In addition, we believe that Rosie also demonstrated several other house types to you, but these were not to your liking.

In conclusion we are disappointed that you have chosen to represent your visit and experience in such a way and we hope that the above clarifies things and we apologise that on this occasion we were unable to agree to the incentives that met your budget.

Regards

We visited the Scholar’s Place…

We visited the Scholar’s Place Development in Scarisbrick with view to buying one of the Eccleston Homes new build properties. In all, we made three visits and were able to view both finished and unfinished properties, including the Show House and the View Home. Firstly, we should like to praise the Sales Staff; Phil during our first visit and more recently the new incumbent Rosie. We received faultless friendly and professional attention from both which impressed us greatly. The houses are nicely built and are of a range of appealing designs. After careful consideration, regrettably, we have decided not to proceed. We think it is always right to give constructive criticism and bearing this in mind we would like to make the following points, which influenced our final decision. It seems that, if you do not “get in at the start”, so to speak, and choose some of the various options or “upgrades” it is then not possible to later upgrade, say, the kitchen to a more personal liking. The kitchens in currently completed, or nearly completed properties, seem to be of a very low specification; fitted with small gas hobs, lower spec’ ovens, worktops etc which cannot really be later upgraded to more modern Induction Hobs, for example (due to suitable electrical wiring provision at the building stage). This leaves you scratching your head as to why the builders didn’t automatically upgrade the kitchens (and other areas like bathrooms) in these last few unsold houses to make them much more attractive to potential buyers? They potentially leave themselves unable to sell some of these properties for the sake of a few thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings. You have to bear in mind that these houses are all upwards of £500,000!!! House designs are subjective, of course, so you make your own choice of which particular house design you like, but everybody likes a nice interior; kitchen especially, bathrooms too, so why compromise?? Another issue is for us was the “Unadopted” status of the inside roads of the development. In our view this is a worry and the Government, in implementing its new house building programme, should legislate that all roads inside new house developments should be fully adopted by the local council once completed. After all we all pay full Council Tax! Doh!!! House Builders should band together through their professional bodies to lobby Government to this effect! Finally, we felt the houses’ room sizes were a little small for our own liking. Again a subjective thing. In summary, a lovely development which has its charms, but not for us, unfortunately. A visit is highly recommended and Sales Executive Rosie will make you very welcome!

Great Customer Service!

Dawn at Holland House Farm has been extremely helpful all the way through our process.

We have left a deposit on a plot and are awaiting the build to be finished so I cannot give a review on the finish of the plot, but the customer service has been exceptional so far, thank you.

Today we viewed two of the Eccleston Homes sites, with our experience from start to finish being excellent. Both Marcus and Anne have been extremely helpful in aiding us with our decisions, as well as options whilst ensuring we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision, with nothing too much trouble. We therefore could not recommend these enough.

We visited the Eccleston Homes site at Viscount Green. We were welcomed by Anne at the show home office. She explained everything we wanted to know and discussed the options available. She was very helpful and has an excellent knowledge of this sector. The houses looked great and presented to a high standard.

Start but don’t finish Estates

Eccleston homes build really lovely properties
The problem is once you have moved in they don’t really care, I’ve been living in the Lords Fold site now for 18 months some of my neighbours have been here 12 months longer than that, today we find that the road is still unfinished. The public open space is a disgrace, and no matter who you meet from their company they just continually fob you off and try to lie to you. Given what I know now I wouldn’t buy a property off them again. We simply want to live here in peace and quite in a clean road ….not a dust bowl where contractors have no respect for the residents.

I’d be embarrassed if I was part of the board of directors. But they simply move onto their next development.

Enough is Enough!

We are very happy with our experience to date with Eccleston Homes, Horwich.
Anne is absolutely fantastic and has made our experience of choosing our home a delight. She is an excellent combination of friendly and professional. Her patience with our endless questions has been unwavering!
Nothing is too much trouble, in fact she’s just been on the phone with an update which has been very reassuring. We are really looking forward to moving in to our new home.
