What I really don't understand is, the initial "craft person" didn't do the job properly, the site manager hasn't noticed they didn't do the job problem, the inspector didn't notice they didn't do the job properly and signed it off as acceptable, and finally it takes someone like you, guessing paid by a new owner to find out about all the basic problems. If they are this complacent about what should be easy identifiable problems, wtf is going on with stuff that can't easily be checked 🤷🏼
@@newhomequalitycontrol The 'craft person' doesn't care, the site manager hasn't inspected it and doesn't care. the inspector is still counting the £20 notes in his brown envelope for not even turning up. Everybody's happy!
the job of the site manager is to fob the owners off so that they can leave the site and never come back. then after 2 years of trying to get them to come back they go bankrupt and you pay for it. essentially. As much as I loved the snaggers (I used these guys who produced the video) - their report is unfortunately completely useless in the long term :(
There's such a shortage that it doesn't really matter what they do: They'll be fully booked regardless of how shoddy a job they do. It also doesn't help that easily 80% of people accept victimisation when stuff like this happens. Part of my ceiling came down and the decorators had the audacity to demand that I pay even though it was obviously shoddy. They're lucky I didn't make them redo everything, because if one comes down within 24 hours, what's the quality for the rest they did? Then again, lived there for only 3.5 years so I knew it wouldn't be my problem after they did quick fixes on the worst part, and once again: Shortages in homes same as craftsmen. I could've burned the place down and it would've sold for more than I bought it for regardless.
There's an area on my bus route that i drive that has 6 new build houses which were completed over a year ago and have sat empty since,the 'for sale ' boards were taken down recently and i asked a local who gets on my bus why these new houses are empty and not sold or even rented she said its because they catastrophically failed an inspection and are waiting to be knocked down!! all six of them! How mad is that?😅
It's not always the case, a lot of the let's say more senior site managers who also have a trade background often know more about other trades than the people who are meant to know, they regularly walk the site and check individual plots and it's progress, they expect the same quality of work as if it was being done by them. One problem is there's too many younger ones who do a few courses have no actual trade experience and think they can run a site from an office on a laptop and when they're told certain things have been done they just take their word for it and don't check for themselves. One thing I can never understand is how some of this passes the inspectors.
@@Pvfc * they're . And they don't really care if people want to risk serious head injury or death after being warned multiple times it's more to stop themselves getting grief from the powers that be above them 👍
I’ve heard today the the new house build at Frankley Beeches road in Birmingham has been halted. They’ve got to knock a load of houses down after they’ve been inspected. Such poor work. Really expensive too.
I do DIY in and around my home. I hate doing anything new that I haven't done before, and sometimes it's wholly unjustified because when I do actually do it, I do a reasonable job of it, and I can honestly say I've never left anything in that kind of state. It would simply mess with my head if I left a mess like that. Maybe it's because it's my own home and I take pride in what I'm doing, and I want it to look nice whenever I see it again, but even the stuff that gets hidden (like insulating stud walls) still has to be done right. Compare that to the professionals who did adaptation work approved by our local Council a year after we moved in, and I'm still uncovering stuff they did that completely shocks me. One example. They replaced an old fuse board with a consumer unit and relocated it to the front of the property, and in doing so they didn't rewire any of the original circuits. To make the wires reach the new location, they simply pulled the old wires into the loft and crimped a new piece of wire onto the old tails, then wrapped the crimps in a layer of electrical tape with no stress relief on the wires at all. They even threw an empty polystyrene takeaway tray under the floorboards on the ground floor, and the instructions for one of the new electrical items (probably the shower) were also found under there too eventually when I went down there to do something else. By then the paper was all mouldy. There's probably still more I haven't uncovered yet.
We avoided a new build for our first home despite the trend being new builds for first time buyers. We went for a stone built cottage from 1904. It is modernised with UPVC door and windows but it's chuffing cold in the winter! Nice and cool in the summer though. The best bit though is the build quality. 119 years old and it's built like a bloody tank. Back in the day when they made stuff properly.
Even though Sunak just blinked, these new builds that are already falling down will have an appalling EPC. And people stretching themselves with 35 year mortgages, are not only throwing their money away, but also the opportunity to secure their future, with a compliant home. But then again, perhaps that's the goal.
Love the machine gun delivery. I can see that site managers all went to the "Who gives a fuck acadamy" of everything. Put a smile on my face, nice way to start the morning. Cheers Orlando
Back in the days of City and Guilds you got quality tradesmen, now, in the days of getting an NVQ in six months or a CSCS card in half a day, this is what you get.
And the kids stay in school years longer it's getting so much worse all because of our Government leaders!! They have proven how much they don't care about the working class anymore they believe that they are better than us by taking all our freedoms and rights it's very soon going to be true!!!
Im a building control surveyor and the thing i see are astonishing. Nearly all reinforced concrete i check is missing bars, cavity barriers missing/loose, terrible fire stopping and the list goes on. Unfortunatley its hard for me to enforce finishing for houses unless is contravenes the building regulation. I do bring it up when i see something but i know they are not going to get sorted.
This is what happens when house builders use self employed workers with high turn over of men on price work . They do not want to pay any employment costs and do everything on the cheap .
I heard that building contractors are doing deals with councils to provide the housing that councils can't afford, at lower prices. The deal is the council looks the other way on quality while applauding themselves for meeting govt targets. The purchaser (or in council parlance: The Mug) can only complain to the builder who has erected strong defences. The council wins and can go back to counting their humungeous pensions.
With those external and internal walls that are out of plumb, how does one even go about fixing those? Do they pose a potential danger of building collapse one day?
My mate works on a site im ashington and sometimes cramlington and despite his claims the squads they have making houses are the very best his boss has (after sacking loads of them) they still have major issues. If its a persimmons home just avoid it.
I would love to see you review some of your viewers houses and highlight houses that are not just new builds but to highlight the dangers that were are unaware of in our homes 👍
I would love to know what you think of my property with NHG as our landlord….. they are absolutely shocking too we have paint work peeling off our windows mould on the walls condensation all over the windows wood roof in back door and that’s just for starters
@@ge2719 I think he means "what do they do with walls that are out of tolerance to remedy the situation." I'm guessing (probably incorrectly) that they'd have to knock down and repair it, but that sounds like a lot of money to fix it, because it's going to have all sorts of additional things that would be wrong as a result of the wall being out.

Allo mate. Question: why do you think standards have dropped so much on new build houses? Could it be because most of the trade schools were closed or something else?
I have found a tub of something under my bath about a year or two ago. Even worse my house was built in 1999/2000 so it had just been rotting there for 24 years
Tile crease on brick wall is to stop water dripping down the face of the wall underneath when done right. That is not right, the tiles are upside down on the bottom course.
So whats going off on the areas that we can't see, And what i would be questioning more is what happens when you want to sell it, because in order to get a mortgage the bank has to send somebody to do an inspection of the house and the potential New buyer will pay for their own checks and what do you think they will find??? I cant see the initial buyer ever being able to sell it on! It's an massive scam to stop people from wanting to buy #ownnothingandbehappy???
I always wondered what Stevie Wonder was doing for work, Obviously he's found employment as a site inspector. Top marks for these developers in equality and diversity.
I do like "The Apocalypse Finish", and there's plenty of that (probably far worse) in the many Australian new-builds popping up like mushrooms in South Coast NSW. There have been more than a few new builds that have had to be demolished owing to extremely poor site surveying, with rapid subsidence leading to walls simply peeling away from other walls! Other delights are the tendency to squeeze as large a property as possible onto small land areas, then deciding to put a swimming pool right alongside. There are a few Aussie inspection channels, and they make pretty awful viewing, especially on the multi-million $$ Sydneysider properties!
This is exactly what happens to workers (not discounting the idiot cowboys) who are pushed to finish jobs quickly for the over bloated developers. There is no satisfaction in carrying out work anymore with the greedy bags at the top and their stopwatches interfering.
When things like brickwork need redoing, what does the developer do in terms of compensating the property owner? Are such fixes so inconvenient that the owner needs to stay in a hotel sometimes and would the developer need to pay for this? Love your videos and insta!
I'll tell you how some of this stuff gets "signed off", the developer is lining the pockets of the building inspector or some somebody else in the local government. My brother has worked in construction for close to 10 years and currently works for a company that does kitchens, bathrooms, and custom tile work. Some of the stuff he's found in multi-million dollar homes is shocking. There was one where he said there was a small step-up in a floor but you could go up the step, around the house, and end up back at the low side of the step without ever encountering another step.
Nope all trades are divided so nobody works together. And most work these days ur paid a price too do the job so the quicker and more you get done the more money the tradesman earns… blame the system.
Not a Fu*king thing. I've worked with literally hundreds of men on building sites, from all trades and none, most with a Union Jack running through them like a stick of Blackpool Rock. Turn up pissed as a rat, smoking dope by 11am. Might do some work an hour before lunch, and a a couple more hours after By 3pm they are finished, can hardly keep their eyes open Last 20 minutes they suddenly come to life, get the kit away as quick as they can, and get back down the pub.
I can understand the rubbish labourers.... race to the bottom with prices/wages/timescales etc, but the managers overlooking it are just incredible thinking its acceptable and people will accept it.
People do accept it and that's the problem. Forty years ago people wouldn't buy an album without listening to it first and yet now the idiots will pay £300,000 + to buy one of these shitboxes without even seeing it first!
We have gotten weak.... I have noticed when I have complained about my food being cold and the cream is out of date they just look at me gone out, so many times I have had English fok standing up for them as well...... so many standards have fallen and I'm just not standing for it,
Most of them are mistakes and a few cause md by lazyness all of those things should really be caught by a manager but the worse one for me is the weep vents as they actually try to hide it and that’s not a mistake that’s fraud
Some of that brickwork looks a bit like parts of my home... built in 1929. To be fair, at least on average the walls here are plumb to within a very few mm, as near as one can judge an average when individual bricks jut out at random here and there. The 'bond' in the bricks is also completely random. One would like to think that modern building controls, please the ready availability of tools like laser levels, might have improved things. Apparently not!
Funniest thing I've seen on Utube for a while Glad to see the house building industry hasn't improved in the slightest, since I left it, over 15 years ago. Corrupt and incompetent to the core.
It's not rocket science, firstly there is a major shortage of quality tradesmen in new housing, secondly the ones that are out there are given such tight prices to do the work by volume builders that they lose interest and effectively have to throw it together to earn a wage. If the customer saw the total wage bill to build their 500k house they would be shocked.
Appalling and shameful. Caused by developer greed and a failure to train enough properly skilled tradesmen over a prolonged period. If these issues were addressed, the level of defects would be massively reduced and a new build ombudsman service wouldn’t be required. Not that I think such a service is going to be effective. Typical government sticking plaster solution - all about being seen to do something rather than doing what needs to be done. And let’s not forget that these house builders make hefty political donations. Corruption, incompetence and cowardice is all we get from governments.
I've never read a house survey report that I was impressed with. Too much cut and paste and non commitment. A surveyor might be a good start but a better option is to pay a builder to do a walk through with you.
Their are certain professions I'd tell my non existent daughter to stay well clear of when dating and construction worker is quite possibly second or third on the list after Police officer cos they just stalk you.
I was thinking the same, and the inspectors inspect without leaving their vans. It's probably ex council workers being employed by the private builders.
Well the amount of profit the man who owns the company who builds the properties makes is is massive. Compare this to the profit the tradesmen make.... nothing. who can blame them.. don't buy the house. Simple
To think people save their whole lives and mortgage up to the hills to buy their dream home and end up with with this ridiculous/shocking peice of shit. It should be a criminal offense to sell such a brand new property.
It’s up to the hilt. Just so you know and don’t embarrass yourself. A hilt is the metal part of a sword or knife above the top the the handle and between the blade. “I stabbed him right up to the hilt” as a phrase. Hope it helps. Don’t hate me.
What I really don't understand is, the initial "craft person" didn't do the job properly, the site manager hasn't noticed they didn't do the job problem, the inspector didn't notice they didn't do the job properly and signed it off as acceptable, and finally it takes someone like you, guessing paid by a new owner to find out about all the basic problems.

This is why I won't buy a new build. 20% above the market price for a comparable house in the same area and they're built like this.

To be fair, at least on average the walls here are plumb to within a very few mm, as near as one can judge an average when individual bricks jut out at random here and there. The 'bond' in the bricks is also completely random. One would like to think that modern building controls, please the ready availability of tools like laser levels, might have improved things. Apparently not!
Shocking like a locking
Funniest thing I've seen on Utube for a while
Glad to see the house building industry hasn't improved in the slightest, since I left it, over 15 years ago.
Corrupt and incompetent to the core.
It's shocking how someone is pleased with that work
Exactly, how in fuck could you stand back n think, ats a job well done.
These will have NHBC sign off no doubt
No Houses Built Correctly?
10 middle man want to leech off from actual trades man, no money left, then we see ridiculous finish like this.
I love how all the insults are food based 🙂
I'm also a qualified chef
Excellent. Keep up the great videos!
It's not rocket science, firstly there is a major shortage of quality tradesmen in new housing, secondly the ones that are out there are given such tight prices to do the work by volume builders that they lose interest and effectively have to throw it together to earn a wage. If the customer saw the total wage bill to build their 500k house they would be shocked.
Appalling and shameful. Caused by developer greed and a failure to train enough properly skilled tradesmen over a prolonged period. If these issues were addressed, the level of defects would be massively reduced and a new build ombudsman service wouldn’t be required. Not that I think such a service is going to be effective. Typical government sticking plaster solution - all about being seen to do something rather than doing what needs to be done. And let’s not forget that these house builders make hefty political donations. Corruption, incompetence and cowardice is all we get from governments.

Allways get your own surveyor if your buying a house worth the money
I've never read a house survey report that I was impressed with. Too much cut and paste and non commitment. A surveyor might be a good start but
a better option is to pay a builder to do a walk through with you.
Chisel Psycho🤣😂🤣😂
Their are certain professions I'd tell my non existent daughter to stay well clear of when dating and construction worker is quite possibly second or third on the list after Police officer cos they just stalk you.
I definitely wouldn't buy a new house since seeing a few of these videos
i wouldn’t mind a house like that
Some of those wood butchers need to hand their tools in. I'm no chipy but i think even i could do a better job with a spoon!!
The rubbish is always under the bath, it's a time honoured tradition.
Yes, often with a bottle of stale piss.
Someone told new builds have a ten year guarantee.
Nearly everything is plastic and mdf.
Not worth the paper its written on. NHBC are in cahoots with builder even though the owner has paid the premium for NHBC to represent them.
That's shocking 😲
I wouldn’t have a new build house for free.
This is shocking! Imagine buying a new house, and get this 😠
That is radicalus
looks a lot like when the council workers do repairs in or on your house 😂😂
I was thinking the same, and the inspectors inspect without leaving their vans. It's probably ex council workers being employed by the private builders.
Diabolical
Rrraadiculous 😂
Well the amount of profit the man who owns the company who builds the properties makes is is massive. Compare this to the profit the tradesmen make.... nothing. who can blame them.. don't buy the house. Simple
But the guy who signed this off should be the one in bother 🤔🇬🇧
These a hole builders and so called carpenters, plumbers, electricians all need to be sacked. They paid way too much money for such a bad service.
Yeeehaaa lol
To think people save their whole lives and mortgage up to the hills to buy their dream home and end up with with this ridiculous/shocking peice of shit. It should be a criminal offense to sell such a brand new property.
It’s up to the hilt. Just so you know and don’t embarrass yourself. A hilt is the metal part of a sword or knife above the top the the handle and between the blade. “I stabbed him right up to the hilt” as a phrase. Hope it helps. Don’t hate me.
My house is still here built 1648 it has a few issues but I guess the guarantee has expired and the builder doesn't respond to my smoke signals
