The focus of Gleeson Homes is on building low-cost, affordable housing across the North of England and the Midlands. Prospective buyers should note that Gleeson is a budget-focused builder, and while this results in lower purchase prices, some independent reviews for the Springfield Meadows development, which holds an average rating of 3.59/5.00, mention mixed experiences regarding initial build quality and post-sales service. It is recommended that buyers conduct their own due diligence regarding the standard specifications and available upgrades.
