Bovis Homes

This is the problems we have had with Bovis homes so far, and a letter we have sent to BBC Watchdog. For some time now we have been trying to buy a new Bovis home in Swindon and have had nothing but problems. We decided to do a home part-exchange with Bovis and agreed a price for our old house and for the new one.

We purchsed an Enhanced 6 bed Bovis home in December 2007. We are now still living in a work in progress. So far our kitchens have had to be refitted, all doors refitted our garden is unusable and so on. We paid a lot of money for a family home and had ended up with a self build.

We put a £250 deposit down on a new £118,000 Bovis House in February 2002 the biggest mistake of my life. We were told at this time we needed to exchange within 28 days which we did, we were also told our house would be ready at the end of May 2002 which was fine with us. BOO!! One week before we were due to move in we were then told the house wouldn?t be ready till the end of June 2002, this came as a surprise to us as Gillian Greenall (Site Office Manager) had not mentioned this on any of our previous visits. We obviously weren?t very happy with this ...  Read the complete review
