Did you build with Carlisle? Which house are or did you build/building? How was your experience? I think I've already met a few people who have dealt with this company, but I'd just like to see how many there are here. Thanks Building Atlantique 36 Mk 2. Nearly up to site start!

No offense PIP, but 13months... what are you waiting for???? I would have taken it further ages ago.....It enfuriates me that as purchasers we are expected to just wait....... and be happy that something will be done, soon...

I agree with you, it infuriates me too that they expect us too wait, or just go away, which I definately won't be doing. Re: All Past & Present CARLISLE HOMES Clients, Click Here! 10Aug 21, 2008 10:24 am Oh, that's awful, PIP - that sort of thing just totally sours the whole "excited to be building a beautiful new home" experience! Let's hope it all gets resolved to your satisfaction - and SOON!

I know I shouldn't be smiling in such a situation..... But I dare not think of Matt's full comentary........ I know it will be more than interesting and possibly an eye opener.....

Some of the directors are a lot more helpful than others! JD is very helpful whilst DM is (in my experience) unhelpful and downright spiteful. (see my blog re the 'suprise' visit during retaining walls) If I can help with adresses and phone numbers feel free to send me a PM... Re: All Past & Present CARLISLE HOMES Clients, Click Here! 14Aug 21, 2008 3:08 pm Hi Matt,
I have written a letter to 'JD', who gave it to 'G' the maintenance guy to handle. 'G' has since been out to my house & is due to come back within the next few weeks so we will see what happens then. I am soooo over the whole issue. This was over something that I wasn't happy about at the 3 month maintenance inspection, which was initially fobbed off, but I have refused to budge. Obviously I don't want to go into too much detail at the moment, as I said we will see what happens. I have been reading your blog for ages now (very entertaining) I should have hired you to handle my dispute , but I've been going back over it looking for your 'surprise visit' & can't find it. Anyway I hope everything works out for you & I still may need to PM if I don't get anywhere. Cheers, Pip.
