Won't take responsibility

Kim (Shared Owner)

Verified Resident

Sovereign at Tadpole Garden Village, SN25

Oct 2022

Rubbish, rush building the houses and don't finish them or don't do things properly Don't like to take responsibility for there mistakes and refuses to fix them even when still in warranty Been waiting 5 years and still fix my issues even with complaint after complaint even with threats of court action against them

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

Beautiful area and a great community, overall we have a lovely home that we love however we have had to push a side alot of damage to our property from builders rushing and not doing a good job We have lived in our home for 5 years and still are waiting for soverign to fix ours issues Roads are slowly getting better but have been awful for years, the roads are far too narrow and is not idea for a busy community coming in and out all the time Car are forced to stop to let people through first And I can't imagine what emergency services would go through if they had to get some someone's quickly It is awful on bin day as bin lorries are just too big and they block the road ( not there fault) Since living here we have had no problems from anti social behaviour and has some lovely neighbours

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Won't take responsibility and bounce my problems back and forth from soverign to bovis

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

How unreliable soverign Is and wish I didn't go for a new build!

Okay area but bad development

Beth (Shared Owner)

Verified Resident

Sovereign at Tadpole Garden Village, SN25

Feb 2022

Development took a huge amount of time and very little facilities. Roads were not laid outside out home until I had sold on the property (almost 3 years). Constantly looking dirty and run down from construction and timelines that were promised were very rarely met. Still have no idea what you pay a service charge for

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

Parking is okay as I had two spaces. Bins were collected well but litter was often left on streets for weeks before being cleared. Fairly nice neighbourhood and little traffic noise

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Very hard to get support but for the major things they were good

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

The houses are not built to the best standard so make sure to survey well before purchase

Dec 2021

Building and property management again relating to pavements roads left un even big pot holes, other than the minor issues the development is beautiful and very happy with where we live, we were very pleased to have a Sainsbury’s put in as this is very handy - now excited for the pub!

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

Lovely village, all good locations near by, just lacking post box and dog poo bins and pavements left unsafe, overall beautiful house in a beautiful village, low traffic noise

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

None have been raised, normal wear and tear on the house for a new build

My property was handed over dirty and with issues

LCC (Shared Owner)

Verified Resident

Sovereign at Tadpole Garden Village, SN25

Dec 2021

I think being a shared owner is difficult with Crest Nicholson as they poorly communicate with residents and don’t recognise us on their system, everything must go through Sovereign. My property was handed over dirty and with issues, but I fought Crest and received a formal apology and some chocolates! Our road remains unfinished after 3 years and some of the local communal areas haven’t been well maintained but it seems to be slowly improving in parts. I do however love my house and make the best of being a resident here.

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

I live on a good street where all residents predominantly use their drives and parking spaces. We are near to the shop, cafe and hairdressers and I use all of them. There is a good bus link to the town centre which is great when I need to get the train

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Sovereign gave me a B&Q voucher and a shopping voucher to covers up for crest mistakes and errors that they wouldn’t compensate her

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

Always check your boundaries - I gained in garden size after moving in as Crest put the fence in wrong

Development is new and the design is very modern

Richard (Shared Owner)

Verified Resident

Sovereign at Tadpole Garden Village, SN25

Dec 2021

Development is new and the design is very modern. Great space kept for green areas which are generally well kept and brilliant for dog owners. Some of the works are routinely repaired after completion which is frustrating, usually claimed to be faulty initial work.

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

Nice village just to the back of previous major developments creating a somewhat peaceful divide from maintstream Swindon. Close to a419 for convenient traveling. All local amenities close by. Parking space fine although shops can be tough for parking. No traffic noise.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Initial important snagging work was not shown importance and was passed pillar to post as to who's fault or responsibility it was, never properly addressed

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

Timelines for completion of full development, similarly time lines for completion of road, paths etc of property
