We are very happy with our development this is the second home we’ve bought from these developers and we are incredibly happy. The location is perfect for us, we have a driveway enough for three cars which is very convenient. All of the appliances provided are top quality and if and when we’ve had a problem it’s been very quick to be resolved.

Happy with the home, would of been nice to of been able to upgrade if possible, I.e doors or paid to have the floor laid before moving in, moving in during covid made it harder to get trades to come into the property. Happy with the size of the property for a two bedroom house.

one that could have been improved by better control of the early design process

Having worked in the construction industry as a Design Manager my views may be more exacting than others. I see a development that is of good quality and finish but one that could have been improved by better control of the early design process rather than hand the solutions to the inevitable problems that arise from every construction project to the subcontractors to resolve without a view to the development as a whole.

Major issues still not resolved

We were attracted to Potters Wood by the design of the properties and having been told that Pennyfarthing were a local family-owned company with a good reputation. We bought a new-build for a no-hassle moving and living experience. Unfortunately neither of these are true for us. We have had 3 major problems - drainage and landscaping of the garden, incorrectly built bathrooms and incorrectly laid floors. 11 months on from our original move in date last December we are still dealing with major works and have reached the stage of escalating our formal complaint prior to going to dispute resolution with the homebuyer guarantee due to Pennyfarthing delaying each time we have had an issue and not responding to problems when raised. In summary of our issues: delayed our move-in by 2 months while significant drainage problems had to be undertaken; not had use of our garden for 3 months while drainage and landscaping were done; had mouldy walls in both bathrooms resulting in both showers having to be completely retiled - this still isn’t finished months after being reported, having a lump in our living room floor due to it not being built properly - this still isn’t resolved despite being reported 9 months ago due to PF disputing the need to replace carpets which have been damaged in the course of work. We have not had use of the bathrooms for weeks on end, had to move all our furniture out of the living room into a container and have had endless months of workmen in the house so now need huge amounts of redecorating in nearly every room. What is most annoying is that all of our problems are remedial and would not have occurred if the house and garden had been built properly. Pennyfarthing have done everything possible to try to avoid responsibility and delayed and prevaricated at every step leaving us exhausted and stressed. In all this time we have not even had a visit or call from a senior member of PF staff nor even any kind of gesture to recognise and compensate for all the problems we have had.

Great quality houses, finished very well, very smart modern design and all top Quality appliances included. The development as a whole looks very smart and well designed. There has been a great attention to detail and any snagging issues were dealt with promptly and without fuss
