After Care following EV charger issues

After Care following EV charger issues. Reported to Nesha who kept in touch and who was helpful along the way. She showed a genuine interest in our problem and checked to ensure that we were able to sort out the issue, which we did.

Excellent Staff

My Fiancé and I visited Story Homes this afternoon in Poulton. While this was not to purchase a house, it was to get a feel for the estate and see their show homes as we'relooking to purchase in the near future. Tracey gave us lots of helpful information and was very kind and welcoming. We have been around a few of the new build estates in the local area and this was by far the most pleasant experience we've had. She's a real credit to the brand.

Shocking! Do Not Buy From Story

Shocking!! The worst experience in every way & on every aspect of buying a brand new home process. 5* Builder yes absolutely if out of 50!!! Stay Clear of this Company, from the poor customer service, shoddy build quality & materials also endless unresolved warranty issues continue with no interest of resolving. After completion & have your money Story Homes are NOT interested.

Story Homes customer Services and Maintenance Review

We have recently reached two years in our new Story home. We love it. There were some remaining issues that needs sorting under warranty and Michael has been amazing helping us to get them sorted. His communication and coordination has been really good. Several of the issues were sorted by Lee who has also been extremely helpful. His work is excellent and he goes above and beyond to make sure our home is in perfect condition. He’s a credit to Story Homes.

Door & side gate repair - great service! 👍

We were booked in for a door repair with aftercare for July, Mark came earlier this week and notified us he had a last minute cancellation. He sorted our door for us there and then, and we also had an issue with our side gate which we were going to report for a separate booking. He was willing to sort that out for us as well! Very professional guy and a lovely experience for us to get both things sorted before the summer. Very happy, thank you so much Mark.

Best experience in months of searching meeting Emma at the Coppull development. Helpful, knowledgeable and very enthusiastic which was very addictive and gave us a real buzz again after several let downs, a real credit to the company.
Although the property we viewed was pipped at the post with one we'd been waiting for release since January, if our decision had purely been on the selling agent we'd be moving to Coppull with Emma. Thank you again for a lovely experience, John and Deborah

Friendly Service

Fiona was great, she had good understanding of the development and the different options available. However she was not pushy which would have put us off. Thank you

One of the worst home builders iv come across..... more bothered about money then peoples health.... various plot location built on cheap land near nuisance noisey roads, boggy land and dangerous electric lines ...
Not only that but do not accommodate any adaptations before you move in even for most vulnerable customers..... more bothed about quicksales fast turnaround then the people living in their properties...
Staff are short and only bothered about sticking to a script. will to take your money but if you start to ask questions expect to have to pay for simple things that should be a given when spending 100's of thousands .... after care of property are
non exsitent had various complications as they must hire cheap builders that cut corners.....
Needing togo legal to final get anything sorted...
Allot of people on the estate feel the same just look at the facebook groups about them...

Edited after response
This is the standard replys you get from them they just follow a script for legal protection and dont really address why customers are up set things need to change maybe value people over profit.....

Great Sales executive

Sam Denham was our sales executive and was great from day one. Explained everything in great detail and offered support and advice when needed. She was always available to answer any questions... even on a Sunday! So far the sale has been smooth so big thanks to Sam.
