Your brand new home is far from perfect with many defects !
Yes, all builders will snag your property before hand over as they will no doubt tell you - the ongoing problem is that most developers do not do this to an acceptable level because of the very tight timescales that they are working to. Even with the current downturn in the housing market, the problems with new builds still persist! This is because many developers have shed staff to save money, but the very tight often unrealistic timescales that are imposed to erect new properties continue. The result? Consistently bad workmanship! No surprise therefore that every new purchaser who has ever used our service is genuinely surprised at the number of faults we uncover.
But don’t just take out word on it! The problem with new builds was of course highlighted not so long ago on the TV programme "Tonight with Trevor McDonald". We have even been approached by ITV to submit problem properties for the series New Homes from Hell.
The media reports below also back up how bad the problem is with new builds: The following extract is taken from the Observer dated the 27 July 2008: " You own a shiny new home, but is it fully up to scratch?"
"Moving into a new-build property should mean taking possession of a ready-made home without the need to so much as pick up a paintbrush. But what if the inside of the property is not as flawless as you expected?... it is really important to "snag" the property before you transfer funds".
The following extract is taken from the Guardian newspaper: "Many people prefer brand new homes, but beware the many "snags" ... warns Peter Davy
" ... more commonly, though, the problems won't begin until you have moved in. New homes have become notorious for "snags": minor defects that remain after the building has been signed off. These include anything from paint splashes or chipped tiles to faulty electrics or dodgy plumbing. The most recent HBF (Home Builders Federation) customer satisfaction survey found that more than 90% of new-build owners reported problems to the builder after moving in".
