David Wilson Homes

REPUTABLE BUILDER......DEFINATELY NOT, BUNCH OF COWBOYS MORE LIKE IT!!!!! We bought a DWH home in Dec 2006, paid £267,999. DWH have now put the same style property up for sale on our estate (PX prop) for £220,000 even though it was valued at £275/£280,000 to sell!!! Their policy is obviously sell the houses then devalue them!! They say that it is a current market value....I don't think so, especially as the fact is an agent valued it at £280,000. There are people trying to sell their properties at agent valued figures and basically have no chance whatsoever with this one some £60,000 under valued. Has anyone else had a bad experience ...  Read the complete review

David Wilson Homes are not to be trusted and are really out to con you out of hard-earned money! Ok, here goes: We were recently interested in a new build property built by David Wilson Homes. We have a house wich is currently on the market and are relocating to a different part of England due to my husband's new job, and so were interested in their part exchange programme, what with the housing market being stagnant at the moment. We viewed a nice house that they had to offer on a new estate near to my husband's new workplace in Derby, and decided to enquire about the part exchange scheme whilst in the sales office. We were told that David Wilson ...  Read the complete review

Bought house eighteen months ago, David Wilson are still attending to the original snags which were reported on completion. In total they have probably missed about twelve appointments and at least 50% of the time they have attended they have been unprepared for the job inhand. Very poor aftersales care but then again are they any different to any other home builder?

In Dec 2003, we purchased a 'luxury' David Wilson property in Northampton. Having lived in a new build Twigden home and been so happy, I decided to opt for a new build when buying with my partner. David Wilson are currently the only builder developing in the same area and given that they have 'won' awards for the quality of their build, they seemed to be ideal. Our move was originally planned for end Oct but David Wilson were behind schedule and so postponed us until the end of Nov and then 5 days before we were due to move in, told us we would have to delay for a further week. We thought this could be a good thing as the builders ...  Read the complete review

Firstly I am not buying a house built by David Wilson Homes. I'm buying a house that they took in part exchange for one of their new homes. They operate a very strange 10 day notice of completion. To explain: you exchange contracts and pay your 5% deposit. You are then at their mercy as to when you complete. I exchanged contracts on the understanding that completion would happen within 3 weeks. Well its 9 weeks now and I'm still waiting. They have my deposit and I'm legally bound to proceed - It could take another 9 weeks - waiting for them to finish building the house my seller is buying. They use any excuse... After bitter experience do not exchange ...  Read the complete review
