IN THE BEGINNING Following the death of my dad at last Christmas, my mum decided it was time to come back to the UK after about 18 years in Cyprus. Her decision was also influenced by the much higher cost of living over there (following the conversion to the euro) and the increasingly hot summers. I was therefore the man on the ground in the UK looking for a property for her. She specified a ground floor flat (she's getting on a bit) within walking distance to town. After a couple of weeks fruitless searching, the Halifax Estate Agency pointed me in the direction of the Barratt development at Priory Gate, Dartford, the previous site of the old ...  Read the complete review

Combine a black eye mask and a couple of flintlock pistols with a ten gallon hat and spurs. The result would look pretty similar to Barratt Homes! Start to finish (and still ongoing) disgusting service and attitude. I fully accept that newly built houses will have some snags but it would seem that they take the attitude that it is a chore for them to put them right. Take your money and then turn their back, considering that earlier in the year they were laying off staff to soften the blow of their £600 million crisis. It would seem that those who are left haven't got the message. Rude, patronising, unsympathetic (and pathetic) dismissive of any complaints, I get more respect from the staff in my local co-op! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

We bought a home from Barratts last year we have a had several small problems but thought we were doing well compaired to the horror stories from our neighbours. Barratts are now building behind our property & start work before 7am including on weekends and to top it off now the site manager has told us when the fence in our back garden was put up it was in the wrong place & they want to move it reducing our garden size. PLEASE DO NOT BUY A BARRATTS HOUSE!!

We are really fed up customer's who recently bought from Barratt's and are feeling pretty much cheated upon since the day before we moved into our new property.

Read the full nightmare at:- www.barratthomes-exposed.co.uk

The bottom line is that our housed was rushed through to completion just so Barratt's could get our money in time for their End of Financial Year!

To say that I was disappointed when I saw the property was an understatement - I was totally deflated. We were handed a pile of crap

Essentially, we were crapped on from great height and now we want our say. We want to make you aware of our plight (www.barratthomes-exposed.co.uk) and YES
Barratt's trod on us like a piece of dirt on their shoes!

We strongly recommend that you do not buy from Barratt Developments plc (David Wilson Homes, Ward Homes or Barratt Homes)
