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.
