Crest Nicholson Tadpole Garden Village…
Crest Nicholson continue to make promises in their plan to complete the tadpole garden village development and never stick to their plan or continually make up excuses as to why they can be fulfilled. The development is a decade old and there are still dangerous pavements and roads that feel will never be completed.

9-year infrastructure delays and underfunded project.
I am writing this to report the ongoing state of Tadpole Garden Village estate infrastructure after nine years. The surrounding green verges remain unfinished, and the pedestrian pathways that were installed last year (!!!) are now cracked and deteriorating. Additionally, the promised sports pavilion has not been constructed, and the allocated budget for this facility is limited to £250,000. While a local customer service team exists and listens, their current staffing numbers and funding are insufficient to resolve these long-term infrastructure issues.
Legal proceedings are required.

Tadpole Garden Village
We’ve lived in Tadpole Garden Village for 8 years. The house is great, but the rest of the estate still isn’t finished. There was a lot of activity after previous TrustPilot reviews but it seems to have ground to a halt. For example, lots of dead trees that have been ‘waiting for planting season’ for several years, landscaping not finished, roads not finished, verges seeded but never watered so immediately dead.

Not our first rodeo buying a new build but Crests continued lack of care and work completion in Tadpole Garden Village is deplorable.
Such a high house investment, and yet we deal with (and pay for) car repairs due to shoddy roads and navigate the unfinished pavements.
People can praise the sales teams all they want and give multiple stars for that - I would like to see fundamental work finished as per the many broken promises even stated in replies to these reviews over the last 6 years

My advice .... Avoid!
Crest are full of empty promises and will lie just to sell houses.
If you need an example just take a look at Tadpole Garden Village as its still not finished after years of delays.
Paths and roads are still not completed leaving it dangerous to walk and drive on.
They made promises of a sports pavilion and sports pitches which never got built and they have conveniently gone quiet over that.
Its just excuse after excuse with this company and they just don't care as they move onto their next building project somewhere else and leave previous ones unfinished.
My advice is to avoid buying any properties from this company unless you enjoy looking at a building site long after it should have been finished as well as enjoying a poor quality built home.

Absolutely abysmal
Absolutely abysmal. Taking years to finish works around our development and as the Lead Developer they have been equally terrible at resolving their own works as coordinating with, and holding the other develops to account to do likewise with their areas. They are all the same - chase the sales and let the remedial works to complete the development languishing because they are on to the next new site. There needs to be far more regulations to not allow this to rinse and repeat over and over.

Crest: A constant let down
Crest have let all the residents of Tadpole Garden Village down consistently with promises to finish the Village and their roads, drainage system and communal areas. Lies have been told about what is completed yet haven't even been started. We have lived here for almost 6yrs and still no finished roads or pavements. Pot holes everywhere. I do not think it is unreasonable to have expected this to have been completed after this length of time. I want to live in a lovely, well kept environment with decent roads and communal spaces. I want for me and the other residents what was promised years ago! It feels like they have sold the homes they have built and now the rest just doesn't matter. Finish your job and responsibilities please!

I have lived in Tadpole Garden village for 6 years and it’s probably in a worse state now than it was back then. Nothing EVER seems to get finished?!
When you drive you actually have to try and dodge the raised ironworks. When you first see these being prepped in the road you think it’s just temporary…. don’t be fooled! The cones placed all over the uneven paths seem to be permanent too.

Tadpole Garden Village, Swindon is beautiful estate, all the houses were completed 2024 however after 2 years the roads/paths are still not complete. About a year ago the residents took action and started giving 1* reviews (couldn't give 0 as wouldn't go that low) Crest then took action, a lot of work has been done since then however it's dropped off again, in fact there are no contractors onside now.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour from them, they have their money so are no longer interested.

Avoid Crest Nicholson…
We moved into our new build house on Tadpole Garden Village, Swindon in Dec 2019. The builders were Bellway, who we have no problem with. However, Crest Nicholson are the main builders who are responsible for the site over all. Whilst Bellway completed works on their sections of the site Crest have constantly dragged their feet and some areas of the village have still not been completed. The first residents moved into the village in or around 2014 and have waited years for the Garden Village we were all promised to be completed. We are still waiting.
Following numerous negativeTrustpilot reviews last year from residents of the village, Crest promised the works would be finished and things did start to get done. Unfortunately, due to poor workmanship, some things have had to be done over and over again before the council will adopt the areas.
There are now things still needing to be done, including the surfacing of several footpaths.
The significant negative affect of the last Trustpilot review appears to have been forgotten by Crest and they have reverted back to empty promises and time scales not being met.
I would buy from Bellway again but never from Crest Nicholson. AVOID at all costs.

A year later and everyone has vanished again!
A year ago, all the residents of Tadpole Garden Village finally lost in after 12 years of a site still not being finished. The trust pilot score took such a hammering that they had to take action.
Suddenly we saw more staff over a month period then we did the two or three years prior combined. However the last 3-5 months it’s gone back to where it was prior to us all kicking off. Loads of half finished roads, paths and loads not even started. Last to move into our street 6 years ago and we still don’t have paths or roads. Oh and our block paving driveways have all sank and has a scary amount of different levels.
I sent two emails chasing for an update. Once I chased I got a reply saying we will get back to you. It won’t come as a surprise they have never come back to us.
I used to work in property for new builds about 12 years ago and Crest was seen as a solid builder and good product. Now they are just a shambles.

Disappointing new build experience
If Crest Nicholson are typical of “new build” house builders, which I believe they probably are then I would advise prospective buyers to seriously consider a decision before signing on the bottom line.
I have lived on the Ackender Hill development, which I must say is a lovely place to live (with lots of potential to build quality houses) for just over two years now and after getting over the initial excitement and optimism of buying a new home the reality quickly set in. After arranging for an independent snagging survey shortly after moving in, we were presented with close on 25 pages of snagging, ranging from what are considered to be minor, easily rectified issues relating to the property just settling down, to more serious faults such as:
Fence posts that were so loose that one firm push would have caused some of the fence to fall over.
All fourteen internal doors needed to be replaced due to water ingress, and distortion (presumably as a result of poor storage).
Door frames needed to be squared up and adjusted, due to doors not latching properly.
Visible scrim marks on ceilings and walls.
Tile spacers protruding from tile work.
Gloss paintwork, complete with run marks, which looked as though it had been applied while someone was pushing a broom around.
Extremely poor brickwork to the garage wall, which eventually was rendered over to cover the poor finish.
I could go on but all of these issues were addressed within the first 140 days to varying degrees of success.
Unfortunately, after giving Crest at least 3 opportunities to fix some of the faults I lost the will to live and did it myself.
My experience is that once the first 140 days are over they seem to suffer from sloping shoulder syndrome and are reluctant to address and accept responsibility for the more serious issues that are put their way.
I do believe that most of the sub contractors Crest Nicholson use are capable and want to carry out quality work, but on the whole they are put under so much pressure to do things quickly, which results in the work not being completed to a high enough standard, which at the end of the day should be Crest’s mission and ultimate aim.
I can’t imagine driving a new car from a showroom with untold known faults to put right at a later date, but for some reason it is acceptable to sell houses which knowingly require so much remedial work.
Overall, the new home experience with Crest Nicholson has been disappointing, due predominantly to the quality of the build and finishes and not the design of the house nor its location, which are great.
Looking forward to the generic response.
