Like a lot of people we bought a George Wimpey home and I suspect like many of them it is a descision I regret. I have developed this site to warn potential house buyers of what to expect if you buy a home from George Wimpey. My aim is to reduce the number of people having the same problems as I'm having and hopefully (I know this is wishful thinking) get wimpey to improve there standards of building and customer service. My advice dont buy one.

In November 2007 we became the owners of a George Wimpey home in Kirkcaldy.  At first it was great we had this nice looking new house but within a couple of months went past we began to spot problems and it just goes down hill from there.....................

This site includes a detailed history of our problems, photos, details of problems experienced by neighbours, links to related sites and advice.

If you are an unhappy wimpey home owner and would like your story told on this site or you have any suggestions please contact me using the "Contact Me" page.
