Has anyone else had major snagging issues with Elan?

I have placed a hold on our new build property over at the Bloor Homes Southam Grange development. I have read many horror stories here and it does have me concerned that I may miss something and end up paying for it! (Whether it be a snag or lost opportunity for price negotiation). At this...

My son has a mould and damp problem with a David Wilson Homes flat (as do sixteen others) and as they have refused to meet and are now ignoring letters, it will go the whole 9 yards. My questions are really to do with quality control and inspection. I assume that stage inspections are...

My partner and I are really keen to purchase a Barratt home in a new development they're building near us. In order to get onto the waiting list, we need to have had an offer accepted on our property, so it's going on the market next week. Our issue is this - we have no idea how long the...

Hi fellow snagging.org members - do any of you have any prior experience with a building company called Nicholas King Homes? Any information gratefully received.

Persimmon Homes Customer Service is really bad. I feel that I have to battle with them in order to get things done. The customer service management team is very elegant and they are not very helpful, especially Mr Roger Nicholas (the head of customer care). The employees from Persimmon told me...

Hi all, I'm glad I've come across this site about the snagging issues everyone is facing before myself and my gf made commitments to a potential new build. But I only read about issues or reviews that's outside of Greater London. Any chance that anyone here bought a place within greater...

In Dec 15 I purchased a 4 bedroom detached house from Abbey New Homes. Included in the sale was a landscaped rear-garden (graded, levelled and turfed). Before we were exchanged we were told this work would take place two-weeks before we moved in. There is a large earth bank at the rear of...

We moved into a Morris Homes (MH) house a year ago. Up to January this year they have been excellent and been prompt to respond to us. We have a list of outstanding snags, all pretty minor. They now seem to be finding it impossible to get back to us and arrange a visit. This is despite...

I am at my wits end with Persimmon Homes - in brief my house does not adhere to building standards, after 3 meetings and countless letters and promises the developer is not delivering on their word or doing anything to rectify the situation. Can I please have recommendations regarding a...
