Keepmoat - Oriens Field, Scarborough

I’m generally dissatisfied with my property and Keepmoat are very unwilling to respond to any problems or concerns promptly. The site manager is incompetent and will promise you the world and do absolutely nothing. My home has had multiple issues due to poor workmanship, the most serious being a rear garden that floods and a home that smelt of sewage for months. Some of the contractors are inconsiderate and have no regard or respect for residents. They can be rude, no apology if they block your access to your drive, or make it difficult for you to negotiate your way in and out of the estate, the litter they leave behind blows everywhere and you have to contend with their maximum volume music in addition to the site noise. I would advise people to think carefully before buying a house here. I wish I hadn’t. You need to be prepared for noise from 7am to 7pm and until 1pm on Saturdays. The dust is endless, as is the untidy look of the place is tiring, The gardens laid to the rear are a big disappointment. The turf still hasn’t knitted together and wasn’t rolled flat so is uneven which means you can’t mow some areas and scalp others. Keepmoat are aware of the shortcomings with the gardener and consequently didn’t use that contractor for the gardens around the marketing suite. The upgrade of carpet is not worth paying for. My advice would be to take what they lay as standard and buy your own in due course. The fitted appliances are bottom of the range and with heavy use will not last long. I wanted to pay to have better quality appliances fitted but was told not possible. Living here has caused me so much stress. I have bought new homes before and experienced no issues other than minor snagging. Keepmoat Homes are awful.

Houses are varied styles and layout of area is good. It has a sparse unkempt look. Maybe because area is still being developed. Hopefully will settle and look more settled and lush. Would like to see more plants and shrub area for walking and a local garden park area for sitting in.

yes they were pushy, i agree to some reviews.. beware.. and beware of your 2 year warranty for fixings and fittings they mean that.. and in your 2.5 years living in the house there will be leakage from pipes. Unfortunately, they said 2 years and as excited buyers we didnt mind it when we had the deal with the house. All we think was excitement to move in. But the problems will come out just after 2 years. Apparently they use cheap materials too.

Beware very pushy on their behalf and when it becomes a problem on your behalf like work that needs doing and outstanding problems it's a nightmare to get jobs done after lots of eastern promises. The groundwork etc laying the turf is a joke a 10 year old could do better.

Glad to hear this firm are to maintain an open space for the Roman ruins. A very nice benefit to raise home values in the development.
