Aug 11,2020My husband and I recently bought the show home at Broadleigh Park Tavistock as part of the Cavanna Homes Lease Back Scheme. Our dealings have mainly been with Chris Hodder who has been outstanding. He explained the whole process clearly and any questions we had were quickly dealt with. He always came back to us when he said he would which was reassuring. The purchase has been very straight forward and Cavanna Homes are extremely professional in everything they do. Once we completed it was great to receive a call from Karen Overton at Broadleigh, introducing herself and again answering our questions. On our experience I would thoroughly recommend Cavanna Homes for their superb service and skilled craftmanship. It is also reassuring to buy from a genuine Devon based company rather than a national chain.

Aug 07,2020We have recently purchased a new property at Broadleigh Park, Tavistock. From our first meeting with Karen their sales advisor through to completion we found the whole process to be trouble free and professional. Once we moved in we found our home demonstration with Guy and Karen to be very informative and helpful. We found a small number of snags as you would expect with any new build property, these were reported but unfortunately the whole site had to now closed due to the COVID-19 lockdown. As soon as the site reopened Steve the site manager informed us he was aware of our snags and did his upmost to keep us informed as to when the tradesmen would arrive. All the tradesmen were very professional and friendly and he checked after to make sure the work had been completed to our satisfaction. We are very happy with our new home and would recommend Cavanna Homes to anyone looking for new build house in Tavistock as their designs are varied and appealing to the eye. We would like to thank Steve, Guy and Karen for all their help during the current strange times.

Aug 05,2020Me and my partner are first time buyers, we bought a 3 bedroom semi detached house in Stoke Gabriel (Kings Orchard) & from start to finish we have had outstanding service especially from Kevyn Dixon who was our sales advisor. We are particularly blown away by how amazing everybody has been since moving into the property, everything was quick and efficient and they couldn’t have done any more to make us feel more at home! Thank you so much.

Mar 18,2020I don't believe anyone who has wrote a good review on here is in the building trade and know what a good finish is which is what you would expect from a new property. I went for a walk around the Plymouth airport development and was shocked at how quickly the properties have deteriorated. Then also going inside a number of homes the inside finish wasn't any better it's no wonder they have lost 1 of their stars they should lose 4 of their 5 stars. I've also been into some of the Tavistock properties now under construction & noticed they are not even bothering to plaster walls anymore just fill screw holes and paint anywhere they can save a pound they will but they like to call themselves a premier house builder. I am glad I did my homework and used my 30 years experience in the building trade so I was able to pull out of buying in time. These are just some of the faults I found in homes no more than 5 years old poorly fitted doors, skirting, cupboards, carpets, damp, mould, walls/stair banister not plumb didn't even need a spirit level to see this. Outside there was cladding on properties that was coming away, leaking gutters, rocking/uneven slabs, front doors de-laminating, coping stones lose & covered in rust the list goes on. I suggest before making the biggest investment of your life walking around the 504 Plymouth airport development with a experienced builder to see what your investment may look like after 5 years. I'm now waiting to see how brexit turns out maybe a bargain to grab if economy takes a down turn & housing market slows down but will not be buying a new property as the quality is just not there anymore unless I find a piece of land & build it myself.

Jan 06,2020They respond very quickly to our queries and concerns, not that we have had many of them. The house is of a better standard and finish than our previous house which was a new build by a different developer. Definitely recommended.

Dec 29,2019We moved into our new Cavanna home at Stoke Gabriel 4 weeks ago. We could not be more pleased with the quality of the build, the location but most of all with the level of customer service. Cavanna offered a range of options to meet our wishes, and are receptive to non standard items being added. Our sales advisor, Kevyn Dixon, has been exceptionally helpful from the start. Nothing has been too much trouble, and he is always approachable, polite and attentive. He deserves a pay rise and promotion!

Dec 18,2019We have recently moved into our new Cavanna home and are extremely happy. The house offers en-suites to two of the four bedrooms, something that we were unable to find at other local developments. Cavanna Homes impressed us throughout the whole process and worked extremely hard to ensure our desired completion date was met, despite the weather being against them for some time. Chris, Tim, and Andy have provided excellent customer care to date, all with a very professional yet friendly approach. Would thoroughly recommend Cavanna.

Dec 16,2019So incredibly happy that we chose a Cavanna home. The Sales Advisor, Chris Hodder, provided excellent customer service throughout the process, continually updating us on progress and offering support and advice when required. The aftersale care has also been first class. The Site Manager, Tim Riesner, promptly addressed the few snagging issues we had, the work was carried out efficiently and the tradesmen left things clean and tidy. We are extremely proud owners of a beautiful home - can't rate Cavanna Berryfields highly enough.

Dec 13,2019Recently completed the purchase of our second Cavanna Homes property. Having purchased a number of new-builds from various house builders over the last 25 years we have to say that the whole Cavanna Homes experience, product and aftercare has been by far the best. Special mention to our main point of contact Bernadette Wheeler in the sales suite who has been particularly professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with.

Dec 10,2019Karen Overton at Broadleigh Park has been brilliant. She has gone above and beyond to ease what has been a very stressful move.

Dec 10,2019The staff that we have met at Cavanna have all been so lovely and have been a major influence into purchasing a new Cavanna home. Lyndsay at Lyme View has been incredibly helpful and friendly and provided us invaluable knowledge and assistance throughout our buying process. Lyndsay went above and beyond and often went out her way to help us whilst we were making enquiries about purchasing a property. We looked at other cavanna sites and were delighted with the build quality and finish on their homes and the way the sites are finished. We have a very good feeling about buying our cavanna home.

Dec 10,2019The sales team was great from the start, very helpful and very friendly. Kaylee went out of her way to make sure that our move went as smoothly as possible. Our house was finished to a very high standard. A few snagging issues but I’m assured all will be done in due course. I would highly recommend a Cavanna home to anyone thinking of buying a new build. 😊👍 Dave and Lynn.

Aug 12,2020My husband and I recently moved into a new Cavanna home in Wolborough Hill, and are absolutely delighted! The Cavanna team have been amazing from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. We were listened to, and kept updated by phone or email throughout our process. Relocating from Southampton and having to deal with issues during “lockdown” was made so easy by Sarah Bowden, who is a great communicator. Shout out to Gary the site manager too, who dealt with small issues promptly. Would 100% recommend a Cavanna home, it’s just beautiful.😊
