Just an update on our drains problem! After confronting Bellway with a copy of dvd survey that I commissioned on my property, the entire foul water drain system on my property as well as certain drains on my neighbour's property has to be replaced. In fact, my neighbour had two buried...

I myself was happy I used a snagging inspector despite the problems. He saw things that I would never have picked up on...so to me it was money well spent. In all honesty, he could not have picked up some of the other major issues because the builder simply made it impossible to find the...

It makes me feel a little bit better to know that I was correct in thinking that I did not need a full structural survey for a new build. This is what I had read when I did my research. However, it is little comfort, that despite following this advice re: snagging inspection etc: I have still...

Background Bought a Bellway in June 2012. Started having a lot of problems after about 3 months. Buzzing sounds coming from attic space above the loft bedroom! To my horror....when opening the attic hatch....there were flies flying around. Apparantly, we had a cluster fly infestation...

NHE - thx for your reply & advice. I don't want to hijack the op's thread so will start a new post.

I have the same problem with my Bellway property in West Sussex. I bought a Bellway stock house in West Sussex in mid 2012. Unknown to me, the house had crumbling mortar problems. Bellway repointed the property during the 5 weeks between our exchange and completion. We were only made...
