Galliard Homes Recenzje 

I have an apartment in Lewisham - Galliard are significantly overcharging on the service charge - we have given an ultimatum for the production of invoices for the last demand and are waiting for their reply to prove that they have not overcharged us - they are slow reacting - really not very happy with the way this legitimate request has been treated.

I live in one of one their complexes in Greenwich. It is a private residential with many towers. And Galliard now wants to explore the private area renting to a third party some of the parking spaces. They want to create a side business with Enterprise allowing them to park in the spaces around the building. Parking Vans, in a community residential area, with families, kids, dogs. Merchandise a private area. This is horrible and seems very disrespectful as well disturbing. We pay our services charges to have a nice are to live, and they want us to accept a business that will bring a lot of unknown people, this is unacceptable and it is dangerous to the community.

Just been billed £405 as an extra cost for remedial works. When we asked the company that did the work they said it cost £228 per flat. We are asking for copies from Galliard of the tender document and invoice. They refuse to supply. Profiteering?? If you buy a Galliard flat expect to keep paying them for ever

I sent email as requested - no reply.

Now trying to find out why @galliardhomes are exempt from the S20 rules that plague all other companies

Just received the annual service charge demand - it is now more than 2 months rent!

The continuous communication and updates made me comfortable as being knowledgeable of what is going on.

I would like to thank Keri and Martine at Galliards for their support and endless help with my recent purchase at their Wimbledon development. Nothing was too much effort and without them, the initial thought of the whole process had petrified me. Thank you again Team Galliards!

I had a problem regarding a Combi Microwave which got spoiled and was beyond economical repair. I tried to get a replacement but couldn't find same product with same dimension from any other company. The main distributors of the product will only sell to companies and not individuals, consequently I couldn't replace it. When I contacted The Senior completion Manager, Ms Martine Hamilton and explain the situation to her. She immediately decided to help me and sent an email to the main distributor who has got in touch with me and are willing to sell the Combi Microwave Oven to me. Ms Martine Hamilton always goes above and beyond to help resolve situations and problems when I contact her. If you call and leave her a voicemail, she will return your call. She always looks for solutions at all times.

Stay away from buying any of their properties
In Wimbledon they have their own property management company (called Galliards Estates Management).
When I purchased here a 1bed the service charges (SC) was around £1,499/year in 2021..now for 2024 is £3,390 an increase of more than 100% and more than 50% increase each year
This was despite being told SC won't increase massively or much year on year
Needles to say if you own a 3bed with parking space you're looking at almost £8,000 year just for service charges
Do we have any special amenities like cinema sports room fancy reception or roof terrace etc? Nop...in fact we have no amenities except reception and some gardens
When you look at the budget they charge astronomical amounts for most silly things and nearly half a million a year for electricity...
I would have given them minus one Star if possible...all in all by far most vicious company I came across in my life...zero competence and 1mil % nerve to slap residents with astronomical SC
So if care about your wallet stay away from them and any of their property sites

PS: updated 19 Dec - just to understand the greed - they're now asking for a £25+VAT fee to actually pay the extortionate SC in monthly instalments - so not only they have ZERO interest in helping residents pay these outrages fees, but they're also charging MORE money for things that you'd expect to be free and included in such a high SC

Do not buy a property from Galliard Homes. They don't value their customers especially leaseholders. They only care about exploiting them with higher service charges equating to over £3000 per year. They don't care how hard you have worked to buy your property for your family and what they agreed with you during purchase. Their only goal is profit at your expense even if it means you not being able to buy your kids anything this Christmas due to extortionate service charges. Even their legal team lack integrity by calling the service charge in leaseholders agreement a completion fee. They are ruthless and not to be trusted. So if the deal sounds too good to be true- it probably is because at the end of it is higher amounts of service charges irrespective of what you have agreed and the size of your property. I repeat please DONT BUY A PROPERTY FROM GALLIARD HOMES.

The response from Galliard Home staff doesn't make a difference because the bottom line is that Galliard Homes sold me a property on the basis of the service charge in my leasehold agreement. At no point did they disclose GEMLimited higher service charge which is almost triple what is in my lease agreement. Both Galliard Homes and GEMLimited are not to be trusted. Ive dealt with both and they have denied the service charge in not just my leasehold agreement but all leaseholders agreements in the building. The most ruthless and unreasonable company I have ever experienced. Save your money and buy a property from a company that has integrity and treats valuable customers like leaseholders fairly.

Trying to sell a flat in one of Galliard's developments as a probate sale. A purchaser was found but he has now been informed his mortgage company will not lend him the money as the service charge is excessive in relation to the value of the flat.
Also Galliard are now trying to sell a communal garden which we had been told was part of the development. AVOID GALLIARD HOMES

Helpful staff who provided prompt assistance and attention

the whole construction delay period is way too long.
We are not satisfied by your appointed law firm Zhonglun, their responses and service are not in a efficient and professional way..

the completion and handover process is just ok. the most response from your team is" pls contact law firm."

It is not a happy experience, maybe we are a just foreigner buyer.
Actually some of our friends in China recently chose other developers to invest RE in UK. As we know, most troubles we had didn't happen to them.

I don't think reviews are real. All leaseholders are very unhappy about unfair and high service charges. When I purchased service charge was £1500. Within 2 months it has been increased by 200% and it is now over £3000. Since June inflection gone down, But still we need to pay increased service charge . When we asked invoices of expenses and profit and loss account ,we didn't receive.

They helped me to complete my apartment on time .

Five-stars for Galliard Homes Sales, Customer Service and After Sales teams would be a gross underating of their professionality, dedication, intergrity and kindness towards their customers. They are genuinely dedicated to make customers happy understanding that a happy and satisfied customer is a driver for a healthy business growth and stronger brand reputation.

At every stage of the purchase, snagging and the after sales care, Galliard Homes teams would literally bent over backwards to make the whole process as swift, seemless and stress-free for us as possbile. There is no issue that they would categorise as trivial. Even the tiniest issues would receive their full attention, and yield an immediate and conclusive response. What makes the team so special is that you get all the above accompanied by sincerely happy smiles by everyone in the team at every time you approach them.

No words would be enough to thank deservedly all the great help by Elise, Martine, Samina, Oskar, Jen and many other wonderful and hard-working professionals at Galliard Homes.

Thank you.

Slow start to complete internal requests for completion. Martine came on board and wow the service, organisation from the team and her was phenomenal and everything went well and was completed on time.
Upmost appreciation to Martine and Elise for all the hard work you’ve put in.
Fantastic service on the snagging and any other issues we incurred.
The Galliards build itself has been built to the highest of standards. On top of everything else the concierge team in the building are very attentive and appreciated greatly. Again thank you Martine and the team for doing an amazing job.

From day one, they've been incredibly responsive and understanding, addressing any concerns with efficiency. The personal connection they establish with clients is remarkable, making the entire process smooth and accommodating. They were very committed to fixing snagging issues in a timely manner and they are very dedicated to customer satisfaction. Overall, a fantastic experience and special thanks to Martine, Ben and friends at LIFE!

I am compelled to leave this review as my experience with Galliard Estate Management has been nothing short of disappointing. From the beginning, their customer service has been shockingly inadequate.

The communication is practically non-existent, leaving me to constantly chase them for updates or resolutions. It's as if they lack the basic understanding of responsiveness and accountability. Multiple attempts to reach out have resulted in frustration, as my concerns are either ignored or brushed aside.

Maintenance issues have been a recurring nightmare. Simple requests take an eternity to address, and when they are finally attended to, the quality of work is subpar at best. It's evident that the commitment to providing a well-maintained living environment is severely lacking.

Furthermore, the lack of transparency in their actions is concerning. I've had to deal with hidden fees and unexpected charges that were never communicated to me in advance. It's incredibly frustrating to feel like you're being taken advantage of by a company that should prioritize their residents' satisfaction.

In short, my experience with Galliard Estate Management has been nothing short of a headache. Their incompetence, lack of communication, and disregard for residents' concerns have made living here a regrettable decision. I would strongly advise anyone considering their services to think twice and explore alternatives that value their residents' well-being.

I’d like to share to the audience of a great lady from the Completion Unit named Martine who provided me with great help during the conveyance process of my purchase of an apartment in Tottenham Court Road West. She was very very attentive to resolve my matters, 110% committed and even provided moral support when i feel down emotionally, and acted in lighting speed when i reached to her for help. Many Thanks to her, I am now the proud owner of a beautiful apartment in a world class project in Tottenham Court Road… A BIG thank you again to the darling lady💐

My sincerely comments
Mohamed

P/S: Thank you to all the Galliard members who delivered to me a beautifully exclusive apartment
Love it so much❤️

Our home ran months over the completion date and had quite a lot of teething issues in the last month, have given 3 stars however as the overall quality of the build is very good
