House of Horrors
This is another house the developer has rushed to completion, they were so far behind that the decorator was still working in the room above the garage.
Ther were a significant number of issues in this house despite the homeowner giving the developer a snagging list with over 100 items on it, before my report as the developer had given the customer 48 hours to submit a snagging list. This is rediculous and shows how bad this developer is.

Another Quality House or NOT!

There is no excuse for the poor quality of this house as it was a stock plot, it clearly shows a lack of pride and attention to detail from the site team.

Absolutely Shocking
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.8 месяцев назад
This House is BAD another year-end completion from a developer who does not care what state they hand one of their houses over to the customer. There were over 240 snags in this house, which leads to one conclusion, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HANDED OVER TO THE CUSTOMER. Year-end completions boil down to one thing GREED, as simple as that. Developers need to stop handing houses over like this one....

Happy New Year Guys, here we go again, another poor year-end completion that has been rushed. Having seen some improvement in quality in 2023 I was hoping that developers would stop rushing to complete numbers and concentrate on quality. But as usual greed and satisfying share holders is the only way they know. New build home buyers are at the bottom of the list of priority for some developers....

  • @scottnever8732
    @scottnever8732 7 месяцев назад

    I have too say I am not a fan of snaggers, its the easiest job in the world to pick fault in other peoples work. Thats why most are disgruntled site agents. However what you point out is usually beyond obvious and are usually claims that will be sent to the site management to be rectified. How they miss these items may or may not be understandable . Site agents do a check but it's fleeting, they have so much to do they have to rely on trades or NHBC to find this. TO BLAME A SITE AGENT IS PUSHING IT< NHBC SIGN THE HOUSE OFF.

    • @LivelyProfessionalServices
      @LivelyProfessionalServices 7 месяцев назад

      Hi Scott, The site manager is ultimately responsible for the overall quality of the house, yes, trades have a responsibility too but you get what you pay for and developers are notorious for poorly paying subcontractors. The NHBC do sign the house off as a final inspection, if they checked the houses properly the majority would not pass the inspection.

Although I am now retired my regulars still ask me to sort out things that have been "done" on friends and relatives properties.

    This is where the house buying process is all wrong, When you buy a car you check it all over before handing over any funds. The prices paid for such a small crappily built house in this country are just out of order. Much like road building in this country nowadays everything is done in a half assed manner to get it done rather than making an acceptable job that will last. The site managers should not be paid for the job that they do not do.
