HELPING YOU SETTLE INTO YOUR NEW HOME
Buying and moving into your home is a milestone for your family and Arbora Homes are with you every step of the way.
BEFORE YOU MOVE IN
We meet you for an on-site home demonstration, about one week before you move in, where we show you what to expect from your new home and how to look after it.
Your home demonstration meeting takes approximately three hours and is important to attend as you receive all the information you need for a smooth move into your new home.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
As first-time buyers, we moved into our home in February 2022. The sales team were excellent in providing us with the documents needed for our help to buy equity loan and nurtured us throughout the process. The build quality really is second-to-none, our family and friends have been blown away with some of the features and material quality. Our cul-de-sac is beautiful, and we often have locals from the heart of the village walking by commenting how well our homes fit in the area. The aftercare team have also been great, with prompt repair for minor snags via a mobile app portal, arranging technical run throughs of our systems with the manufacturers, and providing all warranty documents in our welcome pack. Arbora made our purchase straightforward and easy, giving us complete clarity throughout and being ears to our questions.

Jack Blyth, Home Buyer
We have recently purchased a new build from Arbora homes in Castle Camps and couldn’t be happier! The build quality and after care service we have received from Arbora has been second to none and we would have no hesitation in recommending them for their outstanding support in making the purchase such a pleasant experience.

WHEN YOU MOVE IN
For your peace of mind, every home comes with a 10 year Premier Guarantee and a two year Arbora Homes Customer Care period.
On the day you move in, you will be met with a member of Customer Care Team who will give you your Welcome Pack which includes your Home Care Pack too.
This pack provides you with all the information you need, including a schedule of external and internal finishes, caring for and maintaining your new home, information about the Premier warranty, details of your utility suppliers, our Customer Care contact details and our emergency out of hours service number.
AFTER YOU MOVE IN
We will send you a ‘Welcome’ letter shortly after you move in, and contact you to arrange a post-occupation visit by our Site Manager to take place within the following two weeks.
At the visit, we will outline the Premier Guarantee and advise you on the procedures for reporting defects during your warranty period.
Hopefully you will have no issues, however with man-made products built in all weather conditions, there may be remedial works that require our attention.
We will discuss with you any defects (if any) you have noted since your occupation and how they will be rectified.
