We received consistently informative communication throughout the entire process and during the build we were very grateful that the disruption to local residents was minimised as much as possible. The completed site is well built using quality materials and has improved the area aesthetically and in terms of safety for both pedestrians and road users alike.
Acting for landowners I have exchanged numerous small and large sites with Edenstone and find their approach to land buying uncomplicated. Their use of in-house expertise leads to quick response times.
I’ve introduced a number of opportunities to Edenstone over the years and have always found them very straightforward and honest to deal with. There is nothing more frustrating than being messed around, but Edenstone do what they say they are going to do which is refreshing and is exactly what a land agent wants.
We sold some land to Edenstone for development recently. They have been consistently helpful and efficient before, during and after the sale, and their development is looking excellent
My family have been working on various developments with Edenstone since its very early days and we have always found them highly professional, approachable and fair. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
I’ve worked with Edenstone on a number of projects and have been highly impressed with the professionalism and speed at which they work. They have a very capable in-house team and this means that they can move projects forward at pace. Their internal Board approval process is straightforward and swift, with decisions made within a matter of days, rather than weeks and months.
Our first land sale to Edenstone Homes was made extremely easy by their ability to negotiate and agree all aspects of a transaction without reference to a hierarchical structure and once the basis of the transaction was agreed legal documentation was completed quickly. The benefits of dealing with a private company should not be underestimated in this regard and look forward to making further sales to them in future.
