house

Hi, I wonder if someone can take a look at this and tell me if this is normal? This is my first home and I'm not sure if my concern is warranted. 2 items: The mix of bricks used seems to be different as you work up the building - I can see three distinct groups, the most pronounced being...

Hi Anyone specialist could help me please. I moved to a new built house of 5 bedrooms (two floors and ground floor). After 3 months the floors started to creak a lot creating unbearable noise so one can wake up if someone else is walking on the top floor or the floor below. There are also...

Hello all, A friend of mine has recently shown interest in a new-build house, that is halfway to completion. It is on a site of about 7 houses, some of which are also halfway, some of which have only got their foundations. He has recently been told by the developers that they require him...

Hi all The house was completed in Dec 2015 and the subfloor is uneven. The subfloor has caused tiling to peek/break apart and a floating floor moves visibly under the strain. It appears that the whole house may be slanted and that this was missed during earlier inspections. The builder has...

We are looking to buy a Linden home in Birtley. Because the development is so far on, the house remaining have already had their kitchens chosen so we don't get any choice. We've managed (after some time) to find a house with a kitchen that has been chosen we like. However, they have also...

Hi all I have a big gripe with my new home. There is a tapping sound from inside the wall in one corner of the house, and this emerges when waste water flows. At first it was only hot water from the sink that caused the walls to tap loudly. I complained to the builder, and they told me its...

Hi all When we bought our house last year, sales promised that we would receive a copy of house plans in the post. They said the plans were important information that we need to keep because we need to be careful not to drill into wires or pipes etc. One year later and we still have not...

Hi, Myself and my girlfriend have been looking for a new home for around 1 year - both at new builds and pre-owned. For the past month we have started to speed up the search and have taken a closer look at new builds. Having looked at many builders and sites, we have found a taylor wimpey...

Hi all, I could sit here and write all the snags since my last post but to be honest I don't realistically think I have the time! Straight to the point..... My garden path, the one I that goes down my neighbours garden, 4 house terrace &I'm middle right, is far too narrow I seriously...

How much would it cost me to get curtains or blinds in a 4 bed house? Just a general idea will help. Thanks

All, I've seen alot of negative feedback around the web regarding Persimmon. A lot of it seems well deserved, however as people generally come on forums to voice their negative experiences rather than their positive ones, I've decided to write a post documenting our experience with them...

Hi there. PLEASE can someone offer me advice on this...... We bought a Wainhomes house (a Jenner) in December 2013, which is a semi detached 3 storey town house. Sine day one, we could feel drafts coming from ALL windows, the front door, plug sockets in the master bedroom (floor 3), cloakroom...

We moved into our new Taylor Wimpey home early December and snagged it ourselves, and have had the majority of the snags dealt with but we have a huge problem. The downplipe drainage system was not connected not only on our house, but living on a road with a slope the two propeties above us...

Hello all, I reserved a Persimmon Home in June 15 with an estimated completion date of October. Unfortunately I exchanged contracts in September (also when I sold my previous house so have been living out of a bag at a family members house since then)...however, since exchanging the completion...

Hi All, We have reserved a new house couple a weeks ago (house didn't have a roof in that time). Last week we have had a site walk before completion (house is ready) and I have found few thinks that we definitely don't like. Unfortunately Site Manager is not interested to change/fix them...

We recently bought a new build house from Persimmon, completing on 17th December. From the day we moved in we noticed that the kitchen waste overflowed outside the front of the house (kitchen sink, dishwasher and washing machine) any time it was used. Persimmon cleaned out the drains but this...

Hi All We have recently launched a new website to review UK House Builders. We want to expose the truth about UK House Builders and show people exactly what you might expect when purchasing from certain house builders. The site allows you to add reviews and then add snags/photos to your...

Hi All, We are buying a part exchange house rather than a new build. We sold our house and are waiting in rented accommodation until our sellers can move out of their house and into their new build. We have all already exchanged contracts. We were initially told end of Nov for completion...

I'm going against the grain here but we are happy with the new home we purchased through Linden homes South east, I would like to leave a review to help others as before we bought (15 months ago) we found very few reviews and a lot of anti-new home reviews and websites. Despite a lot of...

I am going to buy a new build house which build by local builder. Now I have some questions: 1, They provide me 10 years CRL warranty and they said it's similar to NHBC one, is it ture??? 2, I know that most of the big developer will provide not only NHBC but also house warranty by...
