Cavanna Homes

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Customer service is absolute shocking. Not replying to emails - inability to fix issues. Deleting emails

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The customer after care service. I wish I knew how poorly they dealt with snags

What is the best feature of your home:

The doorway to leave the home so I can drive out of the estate

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

This development is conveniently located about a 10 mins walk to the town centre. Plenty of pubs/restaurants and shops to choose from. It is quiet and quite charming on the edge of beautiful walks. No traffic noise or anti social behaviour. Bin collection is excellent, and visitor parking is available. There is good public transport a short walk away. Only down side is that this development is at the top of a very steep hill, so the walk home from town/ transport is quite a challenge! You need to be fit!

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It would of been very helpful to know that the after sales team would be a long process, therefore sub contractors, gardeners etc could be booked in to “fit” with dates/timings.

What is the best feature of your home:

The position is fabulous. The aesthetics of the development is admirable, and charming.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Supermarket within short driving distance. Easy access to motorway and airport. Currently no local facilities within walking distance. Main road already busy being used as a rat run in and out of Exeter. People already dumping vehicles on pavements. Ignorant neighbors in rental properties throwing cigarette butts everywhere and parking on my driveway when they think I won’t catch them.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Weirdly no under stairs storage which would have been useful. Loft space is not boarded out so only very light small items can be put in the loft space. Parking bays instead of driveways tend to be abused by neighbors and visitors so be prepared to find ignorant people parking on your property.

What is the best feature of your home:

We love having a garden and love the Plot and design of the house. Wish the garden was a bit bigger though.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Wincanton is a beautiful country high street with good local independant shops. Transport links directly onto the A303 or two mainline stations to London in Templecombe or Castle Cary within 10 minutes.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The time it was going to take to get the roads and landscaping finished.

What is the best feature of your home:

The location on the development and proximity to other homes.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Excellent location in great town. Loads of amenities and close to Dartmoor. The street I live on is small, quiet and no traffic passing through. Parking is ok, 2 spaces provided unfortunately not by the house and no visitors area. No street lights- extremely dark and vulnerable street.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Parking is not outside house when it could have been planned better. Rent went up quite abit in first year.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my new home is the downstairs living area.
