New Build Inspections

Hi all. This is my first post. I am almost a year into living in a new build flat in SE London - Vision Homes. Yes, lots of snagging issues and one key build problem. But the one I am working on at the moment is an omission from the specification - lighting on our balcony. I realise that developers use statements like 'Layouts and specifications are indicative only' but surely this doesn't mean they can miss out things altogether, especially if they don't tell you. I am working on the basis that this is a breach of contract and planning to go down the small claims route. Has anyone else tried this? I'd love to learn from others' experiences.

Hello,

Welcome to the forum. Small Claims Court is the way to go. You need to give them a chance to put it right first, so get a quote and send them a bill. Give them 14 days to put it right or you will start a small claim. They will either pay you or fix it, as a small claim will cost them more.

Good luck and let us know how you get on

Tony
