The Davidson’s development is brilliant.

The Davidson’s development is brilliant. Great designs and each house has its own characteristics which you don’t tend to get with new build homes. House was built to a good quality and didn’t have many snagging issues when we moved in. Issues with the glass supplier Davidson’s use and they made it very difficult to contact and fix the issue but eventually resolved

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

The local area is lovely and in such a good location. Rural village with plenty of walks and footpaths. School and pub located in the village and a short drive from local towns. Bus route through the village and walking distance to other pubs. The village is quiet and well kept.

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

Yes all issues were eventually resolved. Took us to chase customer services a few times and some jobs got forgotten about

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

Looked into the upgrades more and picked some of them

Good Certainly Not Great

I'm not sure the design and layout of the estate will age very well. I have definitely seen better designed estates by Davidson's. I think maybe it's the style of houses that have been built. I'm referring to the ones that have car parking at the front but no green landscaping at all. I find this house style very stark looking. Especially when they're both sides of the road.

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

The village of Blackfordby is nice, although like most places these days shops etc have closed down over the years.

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

Yes, problems have been addressed. I think some problems and snags can and should be sorted before handover.

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

Look more closely at the the fit and finish of the property.

Davison’s spires view

Feb 2023

Aesthetically pleasing development Country side views After much deliberation with Davidsons they FINALLY corrected our problems within the home. Still creaky upstairs floor boards after being promised they shouldn’t creak and a whole spiel from the site manager in regards to how they wouldn’t. Mead fleet are a rip off, over flowing dog bins on our development however won’t place more dog bins and generally under maintained

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

Bogging of water on the play area Meadfleet charge who don’t maintain the development to a good enough standard

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

The timeframe to rectify faults within the house was appalling Multiple work men coming out and issues still not being resolved

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

How bad davidsons customer service is How bad the timescale would be ok the snag list

Very happy!

Management has been amazing, so helpful, really couldn’t ask for better. No problem seems to big & the workers are all friendly. The facilities are well look after, my nephews love visiting to go to the park. The layout of the estate is fantastic, it’s not a large estate which I personally love & lots of bumps so no fast cars. Our house feels traditional but the layout is also modern, I love having the kitchen to the back of the house, large enough for lots of dancing! Yet still having the cosy living room, open hallway and spiral stairs, I love it!

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

Everything is great! We have beautiful walks, a gorgeous local pub & shops not too far away at all. Our only negative is the factory, when we viewed the property I think it was closed due to COVID so there was never noise. Now there is always a humming which is a shame.

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

Very quick and very helpful. No problem seems to much trouble and communicating is easy.

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

Just again about the factory, it is what it is but I wish it was made more clear about the sound prior to purchase. Other than that we are so happy and in love with our home.

Blackfordby review

Design is very good with plenty of space, large garden area which we have upgraded further with plenty of room to spare. The rooms come with excellent features and fittings and it has been the perfect home for the 4 of us (including the dog) would not hesitate to recommend to a friend

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

Lovely quiet estate, location is great and nice village feel with the local pub a 2 minute walk away which is great

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

The snag list was tended to with a slight delay - but that was down to the coronavirus. There is an ongoing issue with the downstairs toilet door but I am sure this will be sorted soon

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

No hints or tips really - the process was very quick and streamlined, particularly given the circumstances around at the time with COVID-19
