Noble's Pond

The homeowners are wonderful. But the builder, Regal Builders, forces a closing and never comes back to finish your house. I have 3 large holes in my ceilings in 3 different rooms from which insulation falls and heat leaves. The owner of Regal Builders owns the gas company - makes more money off my loss heat because the furnace is gas. My closet doors are still in the garage. The stove does not work and the refrigerator freezes everything. Appliance supplier Kieffer tells us they don’t owe us working appliances because they sold to Regal Builders, not us. Bedroom window still has a large hole in it. Sliding door is so poorly installed they can’t install the screen. Door needs to be taken out and reinstalled or replaced. Installation was so shoddy the fell apart within a month. Pella fixed the lock. Six windows have no screens. We paid for a finished house in June, 2022 but I feel like they robbed us because so much is wrong with it. Knock on any door on Peacock Place in Noble’s Pond and I don’t believe you will find even 1 finished house. STAY AWAY FROM NOBELS POND and REGAL BUILDERS. It is now Oct. 8, 2023 and we still have a broken sliding door, a hole in our bedroom window, a broken mailbox, a staircase that is falling apart and Regal Builders doesn't fix any of it. One contractor they sent advised he has no clue as to how to fix the staircase. Our fans still sit in the closet while the cheaper ones remain on the ceiling. One year walk through, never happened. The $7,000.+ they charged for our 6' illegal clearance in our crawl space they not returned to us. I believe they call this fraud. There appears to be little honest about Regal Builders. Yes they told us over a month a go they will be back to install our fans in two weeks - never happened. Made an appointment to fix window and door, contractor cancelled - apparently Pella won't ship to them. BUYER BEWARE, THEY WON'T COMPLETE YOUR HOME REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY SAY. ACTION TALKS! THEY DON'T ACT ON THEIR CONTRACTS OR WHAT THEY SAY. THEY JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN. They are moving quickly on getting out of Nobles Pond. Two sections have been sold off to other builders. The place wreaks of Regal not backing up their contracts and getting out of Nobles Pond as quick as they can. 18 months from closing! Regal Builders apparently can’t get Pella to ship them a replacement window and/or door. Still have a hole in the bedroom window and a broken sliding door. Front door trim falling apart. Waiting for the staircase to collapse. Their own contractor confirmed the entire staircase has to be torn out. They can’t repair it. Regal Builders obviously don’t know how to build houses and the don’t care about their finished product. Steal your money because they don’t give you the product they sold.

Regal Builders/Noble's Pond signed us to contract in May '21 and delivered in October '22. During this time, they did not complete the house but forced us to settlement because they obtained a cert of occupancy from the county. The COO threatened us with a high daily penalty clause in their contract. At the pre-settlement walk thru we listed the primary contract deficiencies (missing contract items and incomplete items - note, these are not punch list items). To date, very little of that list has been addressed. For our home, they produced substandard work as it relates to electrical, tile, kitchen and overall finish work. We are unsure where this will end since they do not communicate or came back to complete their contractual obligations. Additionally, the design director communicated incomplete directions regarding the paid change order requirements to the construction team resulting in much of the problems, and there doesn't seem to be any accountability. They over sell the custom options and designer touches and, do not believe anything in the model is standard, especially the quality. BUYER BEWARE, BUYER BEWARE!! We are beginning to think moving to Noble's Pond and Delaware was a big mistake... UPDATE (3/10/23): In Joan Hill’s review, one our neighbors, is correct on all accounts especially NOT coming back to complete building out your house. If you are driving through the community and happen to see a residence out-and-about in the 2nd stage (Rittenhouse Dr. and Peacock Pl.), ask them about their experience with Regal Builders and their sells associates. Our experiences are not good…not good at all. VERY IMPORTANT: If you decide to build in the community (or any Regal Builders communities), during your final walk-through you will come across a lot of unfinished work and in most cases, work that hasn’t been started because it wasn’t required to obtain the “Certification of Occupancy”. Your sells associate will push a “closing date” document to you and pressure you to sign it. PLEASE DO NOT sign that document because if you do, they got you! What they will tell you is they will address all uncompleted work on the 30-day punch list. Ask any resident of Noble’s Pond about the punch list and they will mostly tell you it’s not worth the paper its written on. We have many folks who have been waiting close to 3 years and haven’t had Regal Builders address anything. We have sent many correspondences over the past six months asking when they will be back to complete work and they all have gone without a response.

My wife and I have been residents in Nobles Pond since May of 2017 and we love the people and the place! We wake up each day feeling like we are on a permanent vacation at a beautiful resort! Our new house is absolutely beautiful and well constructed. Everything is so convenient for us being over 55 years of age. Maintenance takes care of the mowing and shoveling the snow..love it!!! The Clubhouse is Magnificent and activities are abundant. We can do as much as we want or not. When we travel to other places we can't wait to get back here to Home because it really is a Great Home! Best decision we ever made! Come and see for yourself!

I bought a resale in 2019, and have been having the time of my life! Much to do in DE, and with our stellar activities director and volunteer neighbors, there's always something to look forward to. You can be very active or not. No pressure. Can't beat the HOA fees for value.

My wife and I had a great visit. We met with Jesula and she was very professional and helpful. We also visited friends who live at Nobles Pond. I would recommend Nobkes Pond to anyone co sidering retiring in Delaware.
