George Wimpey Reviews

We have had one of the worst experience with George Wimpey developments in North Manchester. While we were away for a week in London, there was a water leak in the first floor bathroom. There was water all over on the first and ground floor. Carpets had to be removed, new carpets fitted in, bathroom tiles refitted, repainting... but we still do ...  Read the complete review

George Wimpey are a large national housebuilder with an extremely poor standard of after-sales care. George Wimpey are winner of the BBC "UK's Worst New Home Builder" award, April 2003. It's not hard to see why. Over the last few years George Wimpey have built a development in Congleton, Cheshire. (The Ridgewood ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in my GW home in Leeds for nearly 12 months, I found the sales staff most knowledgable, they ensured i knew everything about the development (including the negative things like a sub-station nearby my desired plot)they even told me the carpet would have a joint in it because the room is 5m wide and the carpet we like only came in 4m ...  Read the complete review

I checked out my local George Wimpey development after being fed up of having very little space in our previous home. The show homes looked fab - they were very modern compared to all the other developer's & prices were much lower than simialr sized homes on nearby developments. We chose a 3-storey home since there was so much more ...  Read the complete review

My partner and I bought our 1st and so far only George Wimpey houe in July 2003. A 4 bed detached house with a fair amount of land and we ticked most of the extra's boxes when it can to kitting out the interior. This was to be our very first brand new house purchase so excitement levels were high. We had opted for wooden floors in the ...  Read the complete review

Couldn?t agree more about atrocious after sales service. It?s taken almost 2 years for all our complaints to be resolved, there is no proactivity, no courtesy follow ups, on the part of George Wimpey. Our problems included ·Contract cleaners didn?t carry out any cleaning before we moved in. Our cloakroom was used as a store ...  Read the complete review

Having now owned a new 4 bed George Wimpey home for 16 months I can honestly say there customer care is disgraceful!! The site manager has lied to us from the day we moved in. Our home is still treated like part of the building site with foul mouthed brickies slagging off the workmanship on the exterior walls of our new home while ...  Read the complete review

I bought my new GW home in April 2005 and I wish I had never heard of them. My sister and I bought houses on the same development. We both had the same experience. The sales office were initially brilliant however, we had problems selling our old home - to cut a long story short I mentioned in her presence that I may consider a buy to let on my ...  Read the complete review

Extremely poor customer service. Despite reading vast amounts of criticism of George Wimpey on the internet, I bought a house in June 2006. Assuming they must represent either a minority of their work or being relatively old reports, I am now unfortunately in a similar position to thousands of other people (or so it would seem), and I ...  Read the complete review

I purchased my very first home in December 2006 from George Wimpey. Being a first time buyer I didn't know what to expect thus was taken in by George Wimpey's sales advisors. I only saw my house once and that was a day before i was due to complete, the sales girl took me round the house and she in fact pointed out some faults with the house. ...  Read the complete review

George Wimpey. A brand name that fills you with a sense of awe - what quality, workmanship, style and pancahe. UNTIL YOU BUY ONE. Do not do it. You only have one life, and it really is not worth the time, effort, tears and disappointment that will inevitably follow. George Wimpey will walk to the moon to sell you a home, and leave you there when ...  Read the complete review

I think George Wimpey are FAB!! I bought an appartment from their 'Bilton Court' development in Rugby in 2005 and they were helpful, experienced, professional and basically could not do enough for me. The site manager Neal Edwards even came to my assistance on a sunday morning! How many people would do that!?! Even now, two years on they are ...  Read the complete review

I bought a four bedroom house from the builder in june 2007 on the Parklands development in Woburn Sands, Bedfordshire. And have been thrilled with the level of after care recieved from the site manager 'Paul ...  Read the complete review
