GBConcerned that my property is crumbling after 16 months due to the weather The mortar on our front path has begun to crumble within 16 months of us living here. Sigma asked the groundworkers who laid it to check the quality of the mortar and they said it was not defective. Sigma concluded "this will have only been caused by the weather and so this is not a defect". With that verdict, Sigma will not fix it under our two year warranty. Well laid patio pointing should last a decade. Sigma claim to put an "emphasis on quality" and a "commitment to customer satisfaction" but that does not match my experience. Now I'm worried what other parts of my property will crumble and fall apart due to "the weather".

GBWe are thinking of buying a Sigma Home… We are thinking of buying a Sigma Home in Cuckfield and popped down to see their existing show home in Angmering. Although the house types are very different, it was really useful to see the quality of their spec and speak to their Sales Manager, katie who was very helpful. We shall definitely visit Hanlye View with further interest.

GBMy parents bought a Sigma home My parents bought a Sigma home. Completion was around six months late. When they moved in house was unfinished. They have tackled all the snags but has been down to my elderly parents to spot snags and get them done, often after a lot of feet dragging from Sigma and back and forth. Based on my experience I would avoid buying a home off plan if you can. Maybe Sigma no worse than anyone else but it was very stressful. Positives are location, design and general layout of development which is nice. Workmanship on finish was sadly lacking. Kitchen cheap with moulding on doors already failing. Same experience for most in the development.

GBBuild quality poor. Customer service poor I have had a recurring issue with mould in my new build property (as has a neighbour on my development) since purchasing in 2020. Sigma homes have paid lip-service to rectifying the issue, but in general lack expertise to deal with issue. I am now having to make a formal complaint, and am seeking an independent to fix the problem which seems to result from a lack of quality control when laying the roof. On top of this, I have had the front of the property dug up as Sigma incorrectly laid the drains. The customer service team lack insight and are totally unhelpful. In general, I think this is a company that build houses with a top quality finish but fail to pay attention to basic details behind the scenes. My neighbours have had issues with electrics, plumbing, heating as well as basic things like ventilation. Would not recommend purchasing from this builder. Expect better when purchasing from a top-end builder.

GBFirst time new build - give it a chance We are a young family moved into our first new build. There is a lot of negativity about new builds but we chose to ignore and experience it for ourselves. The spec and finish of our new home is amazing and we cant fault Sigma for their customer care. Its so nice to move into a home, give the blank template a character and not need to spend a fortune on decorating. On move in we had no wifi to which it turned out to be a snagged cable. Sigma managed to get an open reach engineer out and resolve the issue the same day. Very impressed. The home demo provided before move in was really useful so we knew how everything works and how the home is built (for any DIY). Our family could not be more happy with our sigma home or the service from the team. I would recommend to anyone.
