Why Bovis Homes?

This is what we keep asking ourselves! The truth about our Bovis enhanced house.

As a last resort to try and get Bovis to complete our work in progress we have decided to share the problems we have had with other owners of Bovis houses and more importantly with potential purchasers of standard Bovis and enhanced properties.

Our story starts back in November 2007 and is still continuing in March and in our mind will probably continue for the remainder of 2008.

We are a professional family with four young daughters and juggle a busy life between our business and our children. But lately we have had a new role that has taken up a tremendous amount of time had and in turn has had an impact on our business and personal lives. Since the purchase of our Bovis home on the 21st December 2007 we have been spending most days trying to get our house completed. This has involved taking on a new role as project manager, tradesman and trouble-shooter. For anyone who is currently involved in a self build with an external project management team, I can now relate to what you are going through.

This web site will include a full detailed breakdown of our home all the problems we have had, the build quality, how we eventually got them dealt with and the problems that are still not being dealt with. It will also give you an insight into how in our view a lack of communication in a large house builder can cause such a high level of stress for a family after they have completed and Bovis have got their money.

We have taken pictures and tried to make each account as brief as possible for light reading.

We will be adding a blog & live chat room to this site so any existing Bovis owners can share their problems. This is also more importantly available to new prospective purchasers, that I feel should have all the facts available to them to be able to make an informed decision when considering purchasing a Bovis home. Glossy brochures and a new show home are a great sales aid but by looking at our alternative “Work in Progress” show home pictures, you can see the reality of Bovis build quality and aftercare.

This site will of course be advertised locally but will be optimised on all the major search engines including Google, Yahoo, Ask & MSN to capture a the national opinion of issues.

We will also be arranging an open evening in Cambridge with Wine and Canapés (to relax the mood a little) so people can vent their frustration and share the problems they have had and discuss how we can all work together to make sure any outstanding problems are dealt with.

To let us know the problems you have had or to see if we can help you please send you an email to yourvoice@whybovishomes.co.uk

As a final note to all. This site was not produced out of malice but by a family who has simply run out of energy trying to get their family home completed.
