Story Homes Customer Aftercare

Taking care of you

At Story Homes, aftercare is something we take very seriously. Before you move in, you’ll be given a comprehensive ‘Home Information File’ that explains everything about your new home, including what’s covered by your new home warranty and what you can expect from the Story Homes Aftercare team.

You will also receive a home demonstration from your Site Manager, who will answer any questions you might have about your new Story home. Your Site Manager and your Sales Executive will become your main points of contact in the first few weeks of owning your brand-new home.

Our reputation is firmly built on the quality of our exceptional homes and our high standards of customer service, and we want to make sure you get the most out of your new home.

Give us your feedback

After purchasing a brand new Story home, customers are asked to take part in two surveys. This is your chance to help us celebrate our success and improve our offering. Our independent research company In-house will call you to ask about your overall experience. Then, just a few weeks later, the National House Building Council (NHBC) on behalf of the Home Builders Federation (HBF) will be in touch too.
