Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 08, 2010 1:23 pm We have our walkthrough on thur and want to know that all going well, how long should we expect until handover? Our bank had organised to do their drive by last week so the bank stuff should all be ok. Our house looks like it has the measles!! There is tape EVERYwhere!! But for tiny little paints knicks (i would never have even noticed so at least they are onto it.) Painter is finishing up this week and the corker, and walkthrough thur. There is only one thing we have noticed that we arent happy with and that is one of the sliding doors, when closed it is flush at the top with a 15mm gap at the bottom, but thats it. We still dont have carpet or appliances but apparently thats normal for "M" as they do that at the last minute? Last minute when? The day before walkthrough? The day before handover?? argghhhh!!! Im so bloody over this, I just want some room to breath and a warm house!!
