Ptarmigan Homes

My wife and I, engaged Ptarmigan Homes in Sept 2017, to build us a house on a plot we hoped to buy in the Scottish Highlands. Ptarmigan were incredibly helpful in assisting us to survey the plot, but it unfortunately fell through due to various legal and structural reasons. We then looked at another plot with Ptarmigan's help, but this also was not purchased due to similar problems to the first. We therefore were not able to have Ptarmigan build our Highland home and eventually bought a fully built house up here. However, in all the dealings we had with Ptarmigan Homes, we were extremely impressed with their honestly, friendliness and no-nonsense approach. Having viewed one of their almost-completed homes, we were both very impressed with the fit-and-finish, the generous size and the functional layout We were also impressed with the quality of their component suppliers and their ranges of product. Even although we did not manage to successfully build with them ourselves, we would have no hesitation in highly recommending Ptarmigan Homes to anyone thinking of having a new house built in Scotland.

Our future home was started on 9th February 2017. After quite a number of issues before planning permission was granted, we had an offer on our current home at that time, but the buyers had to have access by 28th July. Ptarmigan homes said it was possible, and it was. We received the keys on 25th July. And moved into our lovely comfortable home on time. During the build, our personal circumstances changed, and we appreciate all the extra effort that went into accommodating our requirements and making our home special. I am very happy to recommend Ptarmigan Homes.

We had Ptarmigan Homes Design and supply our Kit and deliver to the Inner Hebridies . They also dealt with the Planning and Building control applications on our behalf. We have now completed the build and have been living in our Bungalow for a little over a year. Our experience with the staff at Ptarmigan homes was a positive one. This was our first time venturing into the self build arena. Martin Roy and Andrew Mowat could not have been more helpful through out the whole process. There guidance was invaluable through very stressful project. The out come has been well worth it. Yes there were a few difficulties which were positively sorted out which to me is the measure of a good company

Ptarmigan homes is a the new name for Roy Homes which went bust early 2017. We employed this company to build our dream house and we regret that decision every day. Through really bad workmanship and really poor management we were left extremely disappointed with our house. Lots of problems (still). Leopards do not change their spots - my advice to anyone thinking of building a home is to steer well clear of Ptarmigan homes ( formerly known as Roy Homes) Save yourself money and heartache by employing a reputable builder and a project manager.
