I hope it works out for everybody affected.
I went through this last year with Beechwood and nearly went with Wincrest after Beechwood but finally settling on another builder. Wincrests web site claims they are renowned in the industry as an excellent debtor. My build finally started this week and I hope it all goes smoothly but I am very nervous now. Re: Wincrest Homes in Adminstration 17Jan 30, 2009 9:19 am Hi,
I'm new to this forum but found it when looking for news about Wincrest on the web this morning. The land was just about to levelled on our plot this week....just feel gutted now. I've actually managed to contact Wincrest this morning and to be fair they have been returning phone calls so they're trying to be as helpful as they can be. Also as they said to me, the situation is Voluntary Administration not insolvency so at the moment I'm just trying to remain as positive as I can. They advised anyone affected to register with the Administrators and also the Office of Fair Trading which I've done this morning...now its a waiting game. Re: Wincrest Homes in Adminstration 18Jan 30, 2009 9:33 am It's been a while since I logged in here, but when I heard the news this morning.......we have several unfinished Wincrest homes around us - I am so sorry for all of you who are directly impacted by this - the building experience is a hellish nightmare as it is without this truckload of stress to deal with. I am just so thankful that we have finished.

I believe there is a difference and we need to be careful... title should be changed guys Trust in the Universe Ask for references and speak to them.
