    David Wilson Homes - My thoughts

    Barratt Customer Care Don't Care

    Inform them you're going to NHBC in X days if not resolved, then follow through if needed. Go as far you need to until it's dealt with to your satisfaction, and do not be surprised at all by how far you might have to push. They rely on you giving up or not bothering at all...

    Barratt/DWH Reward Scheme

    DWH tried that dirty little trick with us. We had a Referral voucher we received from some friends who bought a DWH home, we reserved our property but forgot to hand in the voucher until one week later so DWH tried to claim it wasn't valid because it wasn't claimed at the same time we reserved...
