Fantastic Experience

We recently bought our dream home from Shanly Homes at the Moorfield Mews development, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. We first found the development online, called to enquire, and decided to walk in, and from that very first moment, we were made to feel welcome.

We were warmly greeted by the on-site sales manager, Mr. Jazz Virdee, who showed us around and helped us realise straight away that this was the home we had been looking for. Jazz and the team went above and beyond to support us throughout the process, helping us find a mortgage broker, chasing solicitors to keep things moving efficiently, and ensuring we settled into our new home smoothly.

The house itself is built to an exceptionally high standard, with outstanding finishes, thoughtful design, and excellent facilities and amenities. We would also like to thank Ashley Miller, the Senior Site Manager, whose dedication and attention to detail ensured the homes were built to the highest quality.

Shanly Homes also provided clear instructions, great customer support, and all the guarantees we needed to feel safe and welcome in our new home.

We are truly grateful to Jazz and the entire Shanly Homes team for making what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth, personal, and exciting.

Amazing Moorfield Mews

I bought plot 34 - 4bed home. Me and my family are so happy living in our new home. Shanly have been so accommodating by providing and assisting with our move, whilst we have had external trades coming in. Jazz has been impeccable and professional throughout the whole process. This would not have been possible with Jazz. And also a big Thank you to Clive and the build team. We are loving our new home. Thank you Shanly Home.

Excellent customer service

I wanted to say what a wonderful experience I had recently while viewing a new development 'Magna Gardens', Purley.
I was greeted at thesite by the sales consultant Lexi who was professional, smart in appearance and knowledgeable about the site.
My situation was a little unusual and required discretion which was respected and handled perfectly by Lexi.
I had just dropped into the site and Lexi showed me round but was not pushy in any way.

Waterside Quarter

The sales team (Kerrie, Michael, Rosie, Sally) were all extremely friendly and contactable from the first visit and even post-completion. The purchase process ran smoothly and completed on time, and I am very happy with my new property.
The property is well insulated (heat and sound), and completed to a high standard with high quality fixtures.
I would recommend having a pre-completion snagging inspection completed. This is just to allow any remedial works to be completed before handover, unlike with my post-completion snagging. The snagging remediation is being managed to a good standard, and very few minor snags were actually identified.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are thrilled to hear you are happy with your new home. It is good advice you have provided to undertake a pre-completion inspection prior to completion. As a member of the New Homes Quality Board we invite all our customers to carry out this inspection as it does enable minor snagging works to be completed prior to move in so you can fully enjoy your new home from day one. We wish you every happiness in your new home.

Waterside Quarter

My experience so far moving into Waterside Quarter has been great! It’s a beautiful flat in a wonderful area of town and I’m absolutely over the moon to be able to call it home! Though there were some bumps along the way (not due to Shanly) I’m officially a resident of these gorgeous flats! Shout out the the whole team at Shanly for helping and assisting in making this happen! They’ve all been so kind and have gone the extra mile!
Though I am waiting for the last snags to be sorted everything so far has been great! So thank you again to Rosie, Kerrie, Michael and Sally! A brilliant team and I feel very fortunate to have had their support during the whole process!

A Year of Stress: Our Tough Experience with Shanly Homes

We have now been in our Shanly Little Green, Aston Clinton home for a year, and it has been nothing short of a constant stream of problems, leading to severe stress for me and my family.

Alarm bells should have been raised by the way we were treated before purchasing the house. The sales team repeatedly issued unreasonable threats to pull out of the process over issues that were completely beyond our control (specifically regarding our buyer’s process). It was as if they didn’t understand how a housing sales chain works.

It quickly became evident that we were being rushed into a house that was neither safe nor fit for purpose, as the past year has proven. Even from my untrained eye, there were clear snags ranging from minor to major issues. When we raised these concerns, there was little communication or action taken. As a result, I commissioned a full professional report and presented it to Shanly.

We were shocked to discover the extent of the defects and poor build quality, with the report identifying 220 issues. Among the most urgent were the boiler not being properly secured to the wall, loft pipes not being sealed or fitted correctly, and most seriously, the complete lack of fireproofing in the garage. This poses a significant safety risk to everyone in our home, as well as visitors and neighbours, especially given that both garages contain vehicles and electrical equipment. To this day, we are astounded that we were sold a house in such a dangerous condition—one that does not reflect the value we paid. Without this report, something very serious could have happened to our health and safety.

Despite the severity of these issues, there was still a lack of urgency and accuracy in addressing them. We ultimately had to escalate the matter to a dispute resolution service to reach a settlement and put these issues behind us.

Even after this process, we continue to find new problems in our home, many of which require two or three visits to resolve due to the incompetence of professionals failing to diagnose issues correctly the first time or performing inadequate checks to ensure their work is complete. To be fair, some contractors are not entirely to blame, as poor senior-level leadership appears to be a contributing factor.

For anyone considering purchasing a Shanly home, we recommend caution. Be sure to arrange a professional inspection before completion, and be mindful of the aftercare service you are likely to receive. We sincerely hope that your experience is better than ours and that Shanly takes steps to improve its processes based on the issues we have faced.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are deeply sorry that you did not receive the level of service or product expected from a Shanly home. Despite the regrettable issues with your new home, we can assure you that at no time was there any immediate risk to personal safety and, additionally, that your experience is wholly not representative of the standards we set ourselves as a business. We take your comments very seriously and are undertaking a full internal review. We understand from our customer care team that all items raised have now been concluded and we hope you will now be able to fully enjoy your new home.

Cannot fault Shanly Homes

Cannot fault Shanly Homes. Myself and my partner have just bought a newly built Shanly home and it has been built to such a high quality. The process and communication when purchasing the property was also faultless.
