Galliard Homes Bewertungen 

What they don’t tell you is once you buy a Galliard flat you are immediately tied to their property management company currently named as Galliard Estates Management who have a culture of charging for everything and anything they can, even fixing the electricity costs at the highest possible tariff available.
Galliard used the loop holes in the law with the cutting back of stringent planning controls to convert office blocks to residential. Such conversions were allowed to proceed without the same scrutiny so slipped under the radar but a few years later such blocks are now facing huge expenses because assets such as lifts, doors snd cooling and ventilation systems were not replaced at the time of conversion. In fact, nothing much was done to convert the blocks aside from throwing up compartmentation into individual units. The costs of replacing such assets which will run into millions of pounds are now being placed on the shoulders of poor unsuspecting leaseholders who bought their flats in good faith. Not only are leaseholders footing the bill for conversions not adequately undertaken but due to poor workmanship there are multiple water leaks, mould, cooling systems constantly breaking down, lifts constantly out of use, doors and problems with electricity to name a few.
By the way please don’t bother saying this is a property management issue and referring this to GEM because it’s not - THIS IS WHAT THE GALLIARD BRAND HAS DELIBERATELY CREATED AND YOU ARE ALL PART OF THE SAME ORGANISATION!!

Service charge is up 50-100% (depending on the flat/building) and includes stuff that is not even part of the estate. Be wary of GEM (Galliard managing agent) charging for stuff that is not part of the residential estate (services for the commercial units they run of things that literally do not belong to the estate like nearby infrastructure). If you buy a Galliard property as an investment they will be the only ones making a profit. We have been waiting for a reply to queries regarding our service charge for weeks with no answer. Like dealing with gangsters only that what they do seems to be legal somehow.

They have no respect for anyone that purchased a property from them. They provide limited information as a management company that avoids answering the questions asked, worse than politicians. They do not work to optimise service budget to reduce costs and their rationales for increasing are weak. A truly regretful experience

After researching and asking residents about what it’s like being involved in a commitment with Galliard Homes, it’s safe to say I have dodged a bullet… extortion comes to mind. So does the word trap. Be very careful before getting involved, I have family friends who are suffering mental duress because of the problems caused by Galliard Home and they cannot do anything about it…

The guidelines tell us to be constructive so here is some advice: 1. don‘t call it condensation when your walls leak when it rains 2. don‘t have your builders hide site rubbish inside walls or behind the plastic front of a bath tub 3. if the door handle has four holes for screws have four not 1-2 installed (similar shoddyness across whole apartment) 4. dont increase service charges by over 100% with no notice. The list goes on. There is nothing good about this company. Avoid them

Very very unprofessional

Absolute horrendous experience. Had high hopes even thought trustpilot reviews weren’t great still took a chance let alone give them a chance and the outcome. Nothing. They could back their claims up and couldn’t hold a conversation with myself for more than 3-5 minutes without getting distracted. Not sure why they would think to communicate with potential buyers just to waste time let alone their own. Stay away from this company. Do not even think about looking into these properties. I am 100% sure there are better out there and I have already found better.

Do not contact this company. A big scam!! Wish I could give 0 starts literally turned our lives into hell. Worse customer experience I have faced. Unsatisfactory levels of customer service and standard of homes.

Oh how I'd love to give a minus review to this company! The service terrible, the staff are useless I'm surprised they are still running.

Absolutely Horrible Company .

Lack of professionalism in handling queries and a very uninterested approach to making required changes. I recommend NOBODY USE GALLIARD HOMES. TERRIBLE ALL ROUND!

I am writing this review after an utterly frustrating experience with Galliard Homes, and I feel compelled to share the numerous issues we've faced in hopes of warning potential buyers.

1. Poor Build Quality:

Structural Issues: Our new home was riddled with defects. Cracks appeared in walls and ceilings within weeks of moving in, indicating serious structural concerns.
Cheap Materials: The materials used feel low-grade. Fixtures are flimsy, and we've had multiple problems with plumbing and electrical systems.
Shoddy Finishes: We found numerous aesthetic defects, from poorly painted walls to uneven flooring. It’s clear that corners were cut during construction.
2. Unresponsive Customer Service:

Lack of Communication: Galliard Homes has shown a persistent lack of responsiveness to our queries and complaints. Calls and emails often go unanswered for weeks.
No Accountability: When we finally managed to get through, we were met with evasive answers and no real action. Issues are consistently brushed off rather than resolved.
3. Delayed Projects:

Broken Promises: We were assured our home would be ready by a certain date, but we faced significant delays with no proactive updates. It caused unnecessary stress and additional costs as we had to extend our temporary accommodation.
Poor Project Management: The lack of transparency and planning was evident throughout the construction process, leading to frequent and frustrating delays.
4. High Service Charges:

Unjustifiable Costs: The service charges imposed by Galliard Homes are exorbitantly high compared to similar developments. We’re paying a premium but not receiving corresponding value.
Lack of Transparency: There is little clarity on what these charges cover. Queries about breakdowns and justifications for the high fees go unanswered, leaving us feeling overcharged and underinformed.
Poor Service Despite Charges: Despite the high fees, communal areas are poorly maintained, and essential services are either delayed or neglected. The disparity between the cost and the service quality is glaring.
5. After-Sales Support:

Neglect: The after-sales service is virtually non-existent. Critical issues have been left unaddressed for months, and when repairs are made, they are often substandard and temporary.
Lack of Professionalism: The maintenance team, when they do show up, appears unqualified and uninterested in providing long-term solutions.
6. Overpriced:

Value for Money: Given the quality of the build and the service received, the price of these homes is not justified. We feel like we've been overcharged for what is essentially a sub-par property.
7. Community Issues:

Poor Infrastructure: Basic amenities in the development were not completed on time, and communal areas are often neglected. Promised facilities, like the gym and garden, are either incomplete or poorly maintained.
Noise and Disturbances: The ongoing construction and lack of proper soundproofing mean our living environment is far from peaceful.
In conclusion, our experience with Galliard Homes has been overwhelmingly negative. We regret our decision to buy from them and strongly advise prospective buyers to proceed with caution. The promises made by Galliard Homes about quality and service were not fulfilled, leaving us with a poorly constructed home, high service charges, and a series of unaddressed issues.

Save yourself the trouble and consider other developers who value their customers and deliver on their promises.

This company doesn't deserve even one star. My experience with Galliard Homes was nothing short of a nightmare. Their fraudulent practices, lack of professionalism, and disregard for their clients' well-being have left me financially and emotionally scarred. I strongly urge anyone considering engaging with this developer to think twice and conduct thorough due diligence. There are many reputable and trustworthy property developers out there—Galliard Homes is not one of them.

A BIG WARNING DON’T BUY from Galliard .I wish I can take you off the market . I still don’t understand with your standards and planning how councils are giving you permission to be in the market even,
So many people hard earned money have put into buying your apartment trusting the location your plan .. but we never thought you will sell us a doll house for the price of a real one .

I wish I had an option for 0 starts to this company who made our lives hell. They are increasing our service charge significantly where we can’t even sell our flats for more than a less value we bought them 7 years ago. We had many meetings with the managements but the outcome is nothing. Please please don’t buy anything from them. For those who are new to Galliads, wait for another year and you will understand what I am talking about. Please don’t buy anything.

GALLIARD Nightmares !
I feel I really need to write about my experiences to highlight the Company's styles of sweet marketing to get you to buy their Properties and their Aftersales Actions .
The New Build was badly converted using cheap labour and obsolete products.
Two years after the Developer Warranty runs out, my Flat experiences Multiple Issues which had to be rectified causing Financial Lossesl & Mental Distress.

Galliard Management need to be more Proactive in their Actions to help me , and show more Respects to the Leaseholders, and their Plights for Unfair Services and Extortionate Service Charges.

Zero rating is too good for this company. They are simply set up to fleece the leaseholder at every turn.
They use you as a cashcow.
They don’t reply to your queries. They don’t fix the problems.
They increase service charges to unreasonable levels.
Bad workmanship.
Avoid Galliard and its associated companies at all cost.

I own 3 of their apartments, unfortunately having bought off plan, to find out the standard of workmanship is totally unsatisfactory. No opening windows and 30 year old air cooling that is not fit for purpose. 30 year old plumbing which results in numerous leaks.

There management company is as inept as the developer.

I wish I could give this company a zero they don’t even deserve a one star review
Shocking serivce , terrible build quality, extortionate service charges which have . Increased by thousands in 6 years of owning a place in one of their buildings in Hounslow . The biggest nightmare I wish I could just give it back to the mortgage company. Lost almost 40% in capital value over 6 years . Never ever buy from galliard they are bunch of thugs 🙈🙈😡😡😡

Classic value trap. I purchased a "new build" from them. The flat was a refurbished office. Ok, that's not too bad.... but..... main systems like the lift, air conditioning etc were not updated and are roughly 70 years old give or take. So initially service charges were reasonable, and now they've shot through the roof. Banks will no longer lend on the property so selling is close to impossible. Multiple people have had their flats repossessed, but you can cut your losses by accepting roughly half of what you paid for it from a faceless cash investor that hides behind an agent. I can't speculate if whether Galliard intentionally ripped me off or if they're just incompetent. However, the undeniable fact from multiple people I've met including myself is that if you deal with this company, you are rolling a dice on if you're going to be completely financially destroyed or not. It's just not worth the risk.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!
Purchased my property 6 years ago as a first time buyer. The property can’t be sold on as banks will not mortgage due to the obscene service charges.
The service charge has gone up by 150% in just a few years. The conversion from office block to flats was poor and has costs leaseholders thousands over the last 5-6 years in repairs.
The company are reluctant to help or explain themselves, trying to get a response to emails is almost impossible and even when they do they avoid answering the questions.

Cowboy company, fraudsters, and need to be seized from trading.
