Upkeep and response — belongs to whoever runs the building now. From 4 of 7 rated buildings here and 76 in the market.
The market here is United Kingdom: every other developer whose head office is in the same country, because the review platforms residents use, and the service norms they judge against, move together within one. It is not a city, a sector or a price band. Read structure and living together. A developer above the market on structure and below it on living builds well and runs buildings badly, which is a fixable problem and a different one from building badly. Higher ratings are better; differences use the displayed scores rounded to one decimal. Rated buildings only, on both sides, and a structure or living score with no stated basis — no review count and no notes or links — is left out of both.

Risks & source coverage

  • REGULATORY 5 March 2024 (publication; underlying cases included events from 2019–2023) On 5 March 2024, the Housing Ombudsman reported four severe-maladministration findings against Peabody involving cladding-complaint handling, a roof and insulation repair that left a family in cold, damp and mouldy conditions for two years, delayed disability adaptations that remained incomplete at determination, and failure to act on a home described as being in a “very dangerous state”; Peabody said it had apologised, paid compensation and completed the needed works.
  • REGULATORY 5 October 2023 (publication; underlying cases concerned events principally from 2020–2023) On 5 October 2023, the Housing Ombudsman reported three severe-maladministration findings involving nearly two years of intermittent hot-water problems, leaks that took up to 28 months to resolve with related internal repairs taking more than three years, and complaint handling failures; the Ombudsman ordered more than £8,300 in compensation, and Peabody said it had apologised and paid compensation.
  • REGULATORY 29 April 2026 (regulatory judgement; inspection completed April 2026) Following an inspection completed in April 2026, the Regulator of Social Housing assigned Peabody a C2 consumer grade, finding weaknesses requiring improvement in the Safety and Quality and Transparency, Influence and Accountability standards; it specifically found repairs were not consistently timely, cancellations needed reducing, and damp-and-mould remedial works needed more timely completion.

Click a row in the chart to open a project, or a table row below to see its sources. The chart runs wider than the page where the record spans many years — scroll it sideways to follow a project to its handover. Every date we have is drawn. A hollow marker is only a launch year, not a date anyone published. No dates published means we looked and found none; dates not yet checked means we have not looked yet. Handing over is not finished — rows say which. A delay is shown when one source gives the promised date and another gives the real one, however rough: "2019" still counts, and the row shows how wide that is. Projects missing one of the two dates, or with sources that disagree, are left out of the figures. 1 dated statement is held back: a broker listing with no date on it, or a page with no year, cannot fix a date. 2 turned out to be about something else — a phase, a neighbour, the wider masterplan — and are marked off-subject.

HomeViews 5/5, 4.9/5, 4.9/5, 4.9/5, 4.9/5 · 7 reviews · homeviews.com
Combined from 5 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 8.2.

HomeViews is the only building-specific resident rating located: 4.93/5 from seven reviews, which converts to a very high level but cannot be used without the small-base constraint. The five written reviews read were positive and consistently praised management, amenities, cleanliness and location, with no recurring negative theme; the resulting reported score is therefore 7.5/10, while structure remains unevidenced.

+ Modern design+ Practical layouts+ High-quality finishes+ Well-maintained communal areas+ Secure access systems
Not found in sources: No recurring structural complaint published · No recurring plumbing complaint published · No recurring HVAC complaint published · No recurring electrical complaint published · No recurring leak or waterproofing complaint published
+ Responsive management+ On-site maintenance+ Daily cleaning+ Strong amenities+ Good transport links
− Incentivised reviews noted− Some maintenance waiting− Local construction disruption− One mattress complaint
Not found in sources: Limited review base

The published resident reviews contain limited evidence about the physical asset itself rather than detailed engineering feedback. They describe the building and flats as “modern, elegant and practical,” and report that communal areas are cleaned daily, but no review read supplied a scored or specific finding on structure, plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, leaks or waterproofing.

The five resident reviews read were strongly positive about day-to-day life: residents praised “very proactive and helpful” management, daily cleaning, on-site maintenance, gyms, co-working spaces and landscaped terraces. The only adverse points in the reviews read were that one resident wished they had known about the mattress comfort, while another said residents “have had to wait for a few things,” although communication was good; all seven reviews were marked as potentially incentivised by the platform.

No published figure or notes for this part — too thin to score
8.1/ 10

Google Reviews/Maps provides the only non-empty building-specific aggregate located: 4.6/5 from 7 reviews, converting to 8.7/10, but it is below the ten-review anchor threshold. The score is kept within one point of 6.5 as required for a sub-10-review anchor, then moved modestly upward for repeated praise of staff and quality and tempered by the isolated nearby rats/trash complaint and amenity reservations. Structural scoring is limited because no published review aggregate or repeated resident defect evidence was found for building systems.

+ modern building+ quality finishes+ attention to detail+ well-designed layout+ new homes
Not found in sources: no repeated defects reported · no published leak reports · no published lift reports · no published HVAC reports · no published plumbing reports
+ helpful staff+ professional sales team+ friendly service+ central park+ on-site convenience
− rats nearby− trash nearby− limited amenities noted− poor wider pedestrian realm− service-charge concern

The accessible Google-linked reviews are strongly positive about the sales and customer-facing experience: reviewers describe staff as “absolutely lovely,” “incredibly helpful and resilient,” and the development as “impeccably managed.” The main negative review says there are “huge quantities of rats and trash along the Ridgeway next to this development”; another reviewer noted fewer amenities and concern about high service charges, while older local reporting criticised the surrounding walk to Plumstead station rather than the completed homes themselves.

Chelsea BotanicaFulham, London264 units
7.7/ 10
—/ 10
—/ 10

The only building-specific aggregate located was 5.0/5 from two reviews. Because the anchor has fewer than 10 reviews, the score is held at the required near-6.5 level rather than taking the nominal 5/5 conversion to 10; there were no independently evidenced recurring themes to adjust it.

+ New-build construction+ Landscaped communal gardens+ Low-carbon heating+ Solar panels+ Improved insulation
Not found in sources: No published defect reports located · No published leak reports located · No published plumbing reports located · No published HVAC reports located · No published lift or electrical complaints located

no notes returned

no links returned

The published place listing reports an aggregate 5.0/5 from two reviews, but does not expose individual review text in the material available here. Published development descriptions advertise a “24-hour concierge,” residents’ lounge, co-working space and Peloton fitness facilities; these are amenities described by project or management sources, not independently verified review findings.

Portobello Square Phase 2BNorth Kensington, London230 units
7.0/ 10
7.0/ 10
7.0/ 10

No published rating specific to Phase 2B was found, so the score is based on the three directly quoted post-occupation resident accounts, all positive. The accounts describe brighter, warmer, spacious homes, improved accessibility and quieter surroundings, but the small and recent evidence base warrants keeping the result close to the no-rating reference point rather than treating it as a fully established market score.

+ Brighter homes+ Warmer homes+ Energy-efficient design+ Improved accessibility+ New green-space connections
Not found in sources: No phase-specific structural complaint published · No phase-specific plumbing complaint published · No phase-specific HVAC complaint published · No phase-specific electrical complaint published · No phase-specific leak or waterproofing complaint published
+ More family space+ Private gardens+ Quieter surroundings+ Safer pedestrian routes+ Neighbour connection
Not found in sources: No phase-specific management review published · No phase-specific staff review published · No phase-specific amenity rating published · No phase-specific security complaint published · Limited post-occupation review coverage

The phase-specific post-occupation reporting is positive but limited: residents said the homes feel “brighter, warmer and far more suited to everyday life,” and one resident described the new home as “spacious and really nice.” The published project material says the homes are designed to be energy-efficient; no phase-specific resident rating or complaint about plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, leaks or waterproofing was located, so those points remain unevidenced rather than negative.

The available phase-specific resident feedback is favourable: Mr Miah called the move “a fresh start, spacious and really nice,” while another resident said the new arrangement made it easier to get in and out and that she was enjoying the quietness. The reporting also says shared green spaces and safer pedestrian routes are encouraging neighbours to connect, but there is not yet a published resident aggregate rating or detailed management/staff review for Phase 2B itself.

Oval Village — 102 affordable homesOval, London102 units
6.5/ 10
5.5/ 10
6.5/ 10

The largest published review base is the 4/5 aggregate from 15 reviews, which converts to 7/10 and sets the level. The smaller 2/5 building listing is below ten reviews and therefore cannot act as a formal dissent under the stated rules, but the reported failures and communication problems justify a modest downward adjustment. Structure is lower than living because the written evidence contains specific reports of failed regulations, leaks and alarm problems, while positive evidence is mainly operational and locational.

+ New-build homes+ Modern finishes+ Secure entry systems+ Landscaped communal spaces+ New utilities infrastructure
− Failed building regulations reported− Water leaks− Defective leak sensors− Night-time fire-alarm triggers− Construction-related disruption
+ Central Zone 1 location+ Pleasant estate+ 24-hour concierge+ Gym access+ Green space and gardens
− Rude reception feedback− Poor Peabody communication− Unannounced construction noise− Unresolved delivery complaint− Roof-terrace access issue

Published resident feedback includes a serious report that homes had “failed buildings regulations” and faced at least a seven-month delay, as well as a later occupied-resident report of “actual water leaks,” broken leak sensors and fire alarms triggering at night. These are individual reports rather than a published engineering assessment, so the current extent and resolution remain uncertain as of 2026-10-10; promotional material describes new utilities and modern facilities but is not a resident condition rating.

Positive feedback calls it a “Good location! Nice estate!” and praises “24-hour concierge, gym and ample green space.” Negative feedback says management ignored communications about noise, describes the first months as “a bit of a nightmare,” and reports that a parcel remained unresolved; the small and mixed review base means the present day-to-day position is uncertain.

Macfarlane PlaceWhite City, London142 units
6.2/ 10
—/ 10
—/ 10

No platform published a building-specific aggregate rating, so the score is based only on the five building-specific written comments read. Three were positive and two negative, but the evidence is mostly construction-stage design commentary rather than resident experience, so the prose-based level is kept close to the 6.5 low-evidence midpoint and is not presented as a current resident satisfaction measure.

+ Detailed brick facade+ Heat-regulating shutters+ Passive-cooling strategy+ Low-maintenance materials+ Energy-conscious design
− Adjacent railway noise risk− Overheating was a design concern− Lobby finish criticised− Construction-stage evidence dominates
Not found in sources: No post-occupancy evidence
+ Resident association formed+ Community-building focus+ Resident roof garden+ Landscaped podium garden+ Secure bike storage
− Potential transport noise− Lobby atmosphere criticised
Not found in sources: No resident service rating · No management-response reviews · Limited post-occupancy evidence

Published commentary praises the “finely detailed brickwork”, floor-to-ceiling windows and heat-regulating shutters; the design reporting says the shutters were intended to reduce overheating and avoid mechanical cooling, while the adjacent Wood Lane and Hammersmith & City line create a potentially noisy setting. One forum commenter nevertheless wrote that the lobby was “like a depressing doctors waiting room” with “depressing” lighting. These are design and construction-stage observations, not a published structural rating or a verified post-occupancy defect record.

The available material describes a resident association focused on safety, building management, communication and community, alongside a resident-only roof garden and landscaped podium garden. However, I found no building-specific published management or amenity rating and no verified post-occupancy resident review set; the only direct lifestyle criticism read was the forum comment describing the lobby as a “depressing doctors waiting room”.

Higgs YardLoughborough Junction, London134 units
5.9/ 10
—/ 10
—/ 10

Property Oracle publishes a 3/5 overall figure for the Higgs Yard listing, but states no review count; under the supplied rule for ratings under 10 reviews, the resulting score is kept within one point of 6.5, at 5.5. The available commentary includes positive descriptions of modern condition and amenities but also criticism of massing, minimal amenity space and station capacity; it does not provide enough resident-management evidence to score structure or living separately.

+ Modern condition+ Contemporary kitchens and bathrooms+ New-build fabric+ Air-source heat pumps+ 10-year build warranty
− Visual massing criticism− Design viewed as standard− Perceived streetscape mismatch− Limited amenity space
Not found in sources: No resident defect evidence
+ Podium garden+ Rooftop terrace+ Secure cycle storage+ Strong rail connectivity+ Nearby Brixton and Herne Hill amenities
− Minimal amenity space criticism− Station capacity concern− Transport marketing dispute− Price concern
Not found in sources: No published management feedback

The only published condition assessment located gives the property 9/10 for condition and describes it as in “excellent, modern condition”, with “contemporary” kitchens and bathrooms. This is an editorial assessment based on listing material rather than a resident maintenance review; the independent forum criticism concerned the development’s visual scale and design, calling it a “monstrous carbuncle,” not a reported structural failure.

Published property material highlights the podium garden, rooftop terrace and nearby amenities, while Property Oracle records the location as close to schools and transport. Independent forum commentary is less positive about the lived setting: one contributor said “the amenity space is minimal” and questioned how the “limited capacity railway station” would handle additional demand; no resident reports about staff, security or management response were located.

Only buildings that have reached handover are rated. 2 of 9 projects carry no rating: a building still under construction is never asked about, one that has just been handed over may not have been reached yet, and the rest were asked about and no published resident commentary was found. Structure is fixed at handover and stays the developer's; management and living belongs to whoever runs the building now. The overall verdict weights both rather than averaging them. None of this is checked: a rating is what people published about a building, aggregated — it is not evidence, it cannot move a delay figure, and it is not part of the delivery record above.

Projects

Assessment coverage

Completed projects: 2016-10-15 through 2026-10-15. Initial research is capped at 10 completed projects and a separate delivery-risk search capped at 7 findings. Risk findings are not project assessment counts. Absence is not proof of a complete portfolio or no failures. Month-level dates overlapping a boundary are excluded from figures.

0 undated completions and 1 boundary-uncertain completions are retained but excluded from figures.

Stalled, cancelled & overdue projects

0 evidenced cases
The capped delivery-risk search ran; no project-level exception cases are recorded here. Risk findings are listed under Risks and are separate from assessed projects. This does not establish that the developer has no delivery failures.

REGULATORY 5 March 2024 (publication; underlying cases included events from 2019–2023)
On 5 March 2024, the Housing Ombudsman reported four severe-maladministration findings against Peabody involving cladding-complaint handling, a roof and insulation repair that left a family in cold, damp and mouldy conditions for two years, delayed disability adaptations that remained incomplete at determination, and failure to act on a home described as being in a “very dangerous state”; Peabody said it had apologised, paid compensation and completed the needed works.
REGULATORY 5 October 2023 (publication; underlying cases concerned events principally from 2020–2023)
On 5 October 2023, the Housing Ombudsman reported three severe-maladministration findings involving nearly two years of intermittent hot-water problems, leaks that took up to 28 months to resolve with related internal repairs taking more than three years, and complaint handling failures; the Ombudsman ordered more than £8,300 in compensation, and Peabody said it had apologised and paid compensation.
REGULATORY 29 April 2026 (regulatory judgement; inspection completed April 2026)
Following an inspection completed in April 2026, the Regulator of Social Housing assigned Peabody a C2 consumer grade, finding weaknesses requiring improvement in the Safety and Quality and Transparency, Influence and Accountability standards; it specifically found repairs were not consistently timely, cancellations needed reducing, and damp-and-mould remedial works needed more timely completion.
LEGAL 29 June 2016 (contractor administration); 24 July 2023 (claim issued); 6 August 2024 (High Court judgment); July 2025 (appeal upheld); 19 August 2026 (settlement reported)
Peabody pursued a claim of about £913,555 against NHBC for additional costs after Catalyst’s contractor Vantage Design & Build entered administration on 29 June 2016 and the works had to be completed through replacement arrangements; the High Court rejected NHBC’s limitation application in August 2024, the Court of Appeal upheld that result in July 2025, and the dispute was reported as settled in August 2026, while the relevant homes had reached practical completion on 19 January 2021.
DELIVERY DELAY 27 May 2025 (publication; snagging reported in 2022 and addressed through 2024)
In a Housing Ombudsman determination published on 27 May 2025, Peabody was found to have delayed dealing with a new-home resident’s snagging and defects: a 78-item report submitted in 2022 was not properly addressed until 2024, with delays in inspections, repairs and complaint responses; the Ombudsman ordered an additional £50 compensation.
DELIVERY DELAY 31 January 2025 (publication; issue reported from November 2021 and remained unresolved at the determination)
In a determination published on 31 January 2025, the Housing Ombudsman found severe maladministration after Peabody failed to resolve reported roof water ingress and resulting damp for an unreasonable period: the resident continued to experience damp 22 months after reporting it, and the Ombudsman ordered compensation in addition to Peabody’s earlier offer.
REGULATORY 29 July 2025 (board consideration/publication of 2024/25 report)
Peabody’s 2024/25 complaints report recorded 231 Housing Ombudsman determinations, including 224 maladministration findings and 40 severe-maladministration findings, with 78 repair cases and 35 damp-and-mould cases involving maladministration, mostly because of delays in diagnosing and resolving issues; the report also acknowledged that complaint acknowledgement records were not always complete.
PROJECT CANCELLED 13–14 November 2025 (reported decision and council termination)
Peabody withdrew from The Green, Southall, and Ealing Council ended the development agreement; the planned 564-home scheme will not go ahead after Peabody judged it financially unviable, citing the Building Safety Act’s second-staircase requirement and rising costs.
DELIVERY DELAY 13 June 2026 report; original completion timing is described as approximately three years earlier
Peabody’s South Thamesmead regeneration is documented as materially overdue: the Southmere Village Phase 2/Binsey Walk stage was reported approximately three years late as of June 2026, while Phase 3 and other demolished or vacant plots remained delayed or without detailed plans; Phase 2 was nearing completion, so this is delayed history rather than a claim that the whole programme was abandoned.
DELIVERY DELAY 10 February 2025 (status report); proposal submitted in 2019
The former Harrow Inn site beside Abbey Wood station remains stalled: Peabody’s 66-home planning proposal, submitted in 2019, lapsed after years without approval or construction, and a new application was required as of February 2025.
DELIVERY DELAY 30–31 July 2026 (judicial-review permission and reported pause)
Peabody’s proposed Lesnes Estate redevelopment in Thamesmead was put on hold in July 2026 when the High Court granted permission for a judicial review of the approval; Peabody denied abandoning the scheme and said it remained committed to creating the replacement homes.
