Kingswood is a very upcoming area - lots of shops and good for transport links - decent schools too here

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

That they lied to us about how we would be looked after - terrible service.

What is the best feature of your home:

None- the whole experience has been soured by terrible aftercare.

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

This development could be awesome. Great convenient shops, places to eat, school and public transport. Yet, the development in terms of how it looks is both looking and working , some 3 years on is disgraceful. Dead / Badly planted trees, open spaces fenced off and basically 'builder tips' grass verges left, , (i cut them adjacent to my plot) drains are full of rubble, lack of topsoil makes grass, shrubs difficult to grow, especially the ones nocked over by the tradesmen, who drive over verges to miss parked cars, or, trees planted in concrete, the use of sub soil as apposed to good top soil, and which in turn causes flooded areas because surface water cant drain away effectively.. its like IKEA DOES MEAU RISE, BUILT BY LOGO. It has potential to be a great area, but the lack of affective governance, management, control, responsibility is shocking

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

The Misrepresentation Of The Management Covenant ( Legal Experts Say It Is The Next PPI Scandal) The HOMEGROUP , Would not breach/break their contract, refuse me copies of my plot file, That A Credible After sales Team Would Work As Promised/ Contracted To. The shear lack pf governance. The NHBC is there to serve the developer, formost. That there was a credible complaints procedure. That record keeping/data was correct. That, the 106 agreement would be adhered to.

The Awesome Design Totally Let Down By The Way It Has Been Built

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

Positive points - Local shops, restaurants, pub, primary and secondary schools and healthcare facilities are within walking distance. Public transport links (bus) are convenient and within walking distance. Parking is excellent as all houses have good sized private drives, thereby reducing over-parking on the street. Bin collections by the local council are regular and timely. There appears to be no anti-social behaviour and traffic noise outside of the working hours is low. Negative points - The development is not yet complete, therefore remains very much a 'building site'. Pavements and roads have yet to be correctly surfaced and construction traffic and noise remains high during the working hours. Grassed areas and public open spaces have yet to be completed. I would imagine that within the next two years or so this will be removed.

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

I wish the sales team had been more honest from the start regarding a move-in date. I was originally told the end of November 2021, however didn't actually move in until 7 February 2022. This was not only frustrating for me, but also the purchaser of my previous house.

What is the best feature of your home:

For me, the best feature of my new home is the abundance of space. I did purchase a 4-bedroomed detached property with probably the largest garden on the development, so this should be expected.

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

Perfect place for families, has shops and amenities nearby, schools, nurseries, swimming pool, cinema.

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

Get ready to buy custom size curtains for lovely big windows.

What is the best feature of your home:

High ceilings, big windows, wide light hallways, good size gardens.

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

Great variety of local shops and major retail park within walking distance, frequent buses into Hull but none to Beverley which is disappointing, majority of houses have a good amount of parking which make a change from other builders!

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

Garden so uneven but couldn’t tell due to 4 foot high weeds growing in it

What is the best feature of your home:

Lovely and light and airy feels spacious and flows well
