Barratt Homes Reviews

Scholars Gate, Stafford. I was in the process of buying a property there before my solicitor found that Barratt's had not approached the local council for Road Adoption and had not paid for an indemnity for Clause 38. As it stands the council has no obligation to adopt the road nor have Barratt's any obligation to complete it, leaving the new ...

I bought a 2 bed flat from Barratts in Woking, Surrey in Sept 2005. I have had very few problems with them I employed Inspector Home who identified 19 snags (problems) with my flat and got them rectified before I moved in, All of these were very minor. I also employed my own solicitor who asked to see a lot of paperwork (which wasn;t ...

I am currently in the process of buying a Barratt's appartment and what a nightmere the whole process has been. I am 23 and a first time buyer. After agreeing to buy the property i had a independent valuation carried out which confirmed the appartment was £23,000.00 over price. Anyone else had this issue? I then rang barratts and they said ok ...

Last year I purchase a Barratt house off plan, I have tried to sell my current house privately but to no avail. Barratts offered me their "100% part exchange" to aid me in my move to the new house.

We recently part-exed our property for a new Barrat Home just before Christmas. The problem was that due to incorrect figures being passed to solicitors the sale price of the new property went through at the full amount and not at a discounted amount as agreed. So we were left almost £4,000 out of pocket on monies due from the sale of our ...

This isn't a review on a Barratt Homes, it's about Barratts themselves. I bought a new Barratt House in 'Dove House Meadow' in Sudbury, so called because of all the doves in the area, which are very beautiful. However, tonight (15 Nov), Barratt's have a arranged for a shooter to come along and kill them all. Why? beacause according to Barratts ...

We are allowed 1 parking space which is inside our Garage. We cannot have visitors as they have nowhere to park. Barratts have issued us with Parking Permits and ...

It is unfortunate that problems are sometimes found with new properties but these are a minority and there are a lot of happy stories about new properties from barratt but people are not as quick to praise something and write about it. They only write to slate thing off. It is a shame.

Kevin McCloud, presenter of Grand Designs on Channel 4, is angry about the state of housing in Britain today. In protest to the shoddy estates cropping up around the country, he plans to build his own suburban housing estate, to prove it can be done properly. But first he needs YOUR opinion and advice... he wants to talk to people who live in, ...

I hated everything about my Barratts house. Moved into Nursery Gardens in Melton Mowbray 2 years ago and am still upset about it today. I was told by the sales person it was a nice area but we had really bad anti-social behaviour problems in the area and had no end of problems. Bought the house while at DPC level so did not realise the poor ...

Barratts Thameswalk New riverside development, Barratts in their wisdom sold to a load of people who had fraudulant mortgages...and then who promptly installed a load of gang member rogue tenants who have turned the place into a ghetto...guns, crime, fraud, intimidation....reposessions rife, empty flats already.....£30,000 negative ...

In general, Barratts provided me with a new house with few problems for a reasonable price. However, the soundproofing (in a house built in 2001/2 before the new soundproofing laws came into effect) is definitely not as good as it should be. The house as a whole could be somewhat more solid - if you have heavy plant machinery outside ...

I went to 'The Elms' development in Leicester to enquire about Barratts new development. I met the sales adviser Phillip Graham, he blurted out 'What do you want', I said I didnt like his mannerism.

I wanted to make sure people were aware so to avoid future upset. I have recently purchased a Brand New Barratt home, based in Rochford in Essex. The house is gorgeous, there have been a few problems as you would expect, snagging to be fixed, eg paint work touching up and screws missin here and there. Everything has been sorted, and the time scale ...
