He didn't bother inspecting anything and was done in 5 minutes. I was kind of disappointed to be honest. How has everyone else's 3 m...

Viking, I hope they put the roof on before they plastered! Lol. I checked out the new part if the estate last night, there are so many houses being built so quickly, it's going to look great once they are all finished :) Lots if the temporary fencing has been blown over or away, I think the builders...

Hi guys, We are now into our 7th week post handover and are ready to think about landscaping. Our builder has sloped the earth away from our house but that's all they have done. Unfortunately we have been left with really uneven levels and a rather large frog pond down the entire length of one side ...

If I were you I would write a complaint about how you are being treated, how it's making you feel and how absolute rubbish the whole process has been. Post it to head office and email...
