Hi, I was wondering of anyone has any comments regarding Ashcroft Homes (Auck) Limited. We are thinking of undertaking a terraced housing complex and have approached them for some input. DG

Hi Debbie, Two comments: 1. The Construction Manager that I had a terrible time with at Signature Homes Ack Nth Shore is now working for Ashcroft. He is dishonest and blames others when things go wrong. Very quick to point the finger at everyone – the client, his tradesmen and his project managers. He fired 2 project managers during my build and in the end got fired himself by the franchise Managing Director. 2. An Ashcroft home was built next to a property of mine in Beach Haven. It was an investment property and I went through the open home when it was put on the market. It was awful. Very poor finishing and attention to detail. I suggest you find some recent builds to walk through. Don’t go by their show homes as in my experience companies put a bit more effort into the quality of the show homes. It is often not a good representation of what you will end up with.

Hi Debbie, I am doing the same. Approached Ashcroft for a terrace housing complex on their Windsor Plan. Would appreciate any info and would be keen to share experience to date. Cheers Prateik

Hi Prateik, If you search the blog (Ctr F) you will see my previous comments. In summary: 1. The Construction Manger is a dishonest man. You will have a very difficult and highly stressful time working with him. 2. The quality is at the lower end of the market. If your are seriously considering them then I suggest you review their most recent work to assess whether you would be happy with the quality standard.

Be careful – this might be a fake review as they have spammed the site with reviews, saying barely anything except positive shining accolades.

Hi all I’ve gone back to both June and Ashcroft Homes and I’m confident June is genuine. It really does seem there’s a good client experience here.
