As a decorator of 30+ years this was simply done on the cheap paying “someone “ with no experience, no references asked for…… the the result is to completely redecorate it . Doing things on the cheap ALWAYS bites you in the arse !! …… classic example 🤦♂👎🏼
Wow!! That is absolutely horrendous, without doubt the worst one you’ve shown for a while. Definitely part of the December dash for half year completions and the poor family handing over hundreds of thousands of pounds have that to face when they receive the keys. Heads should be rolling for that being presented as acceptable. Keep up the fight and enjoy the stiff drink 🥃🥃
Wow! They expect this to be accepted at the cost of 10s of thousands! And the builders who did that! Shameful. They avoided the foam! Why! Foam could not have made it look uglier!
CSCS said all managers must have an NVQ 6 because we need professionals in charge to provide quality and confidence in the new builds - think they need to re think that one!
Bloody hell, and this is what you can see so God knows what's hidden 😢 sad thing is that in ten years' time, it will be worse. And since when has the skirting board been glued on 😢😢😢😢
I came away from the new housing electrical contracting in 2015 and it wasn't like this then, even with the rush up to Christmas handovers. Either the price work is so poor that the job is being rushed so a decent wage can be made or there are not the experienced tradespeople out there.
I've seen old Victorian and Edwardian houses with less cracks than this pile of garbage. I live in an old house and would never ever buy a new build exactly because of this.
hello Ian, I watch all you do and am not a "commenter" normally. However, this is way past disgusting. I have been in the building trade a long time, mainly in decoration/tiling/.installation. i am utterly lost for words. Although I am now retired my regulars still ask me to sort out things that have been "done" on friends and relatives properties. Apart from the verbal attitude of some they employ they find it hard to get things settled... I find the whole industry depressing. It should never get to this .... Bob (Weston super Mare)
Hi Bob, thank you for watching, I totally agree with you the industry is depressing, I have to say not all developers are like this and there are a number out there that do a good job. Unfortunately, half-year and year-end plots are still happening which is purely dow to greed on the developer's part.
You wait until you get to the trickle vents that drop to pieces when you touch them, house comes with free 24x7 air con due to this! That is if they’ve even bothered to fit the ceilings above them! Cheap sh*t vents and even the supplier knows it!
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.
I agree the buying process needs looking at, mortgage lenders and solicitors have a role to play in ensuring newly built homebuyers are not being ripped off.
Looks like the bricky's did the painting! This house is absolutely horrendous, Heron homes name has taken a battering on this one, and quite rightly so. This is one of the worst houses I've seen on Ian's channel, and he's had a few beauties I can tell you!
Hi Jim, This was clearly a year-end completion, the customer should not have been handed this house it was clearly not finished properly. The problem for the customer now is they know they are going to have to fight to get the house to an acceptable standard by the developer.
That must be one of your worst inspections Ian. There has to be Government intervention in this industry similar to what is being considered in Australia NSW to protect the purchaser.
We normally go in and renovate houses when they look like this 😂😂
One word discusting, I think I'd have thrown the keys back at the builders site manager needs sacking
You wouldn’t trust them to build a bonfire
Absolutely disgusting, someone needs sacking for handing over a house in that state.

Hi Ben, my recommendation to the customer was to insist on a full redec of the house.
I'd be devastated if I was the homeowner, imagine waiting for your new home to be given this, if its that bad on the surface what's hidden 😢
Who Knows, lets hope the developer makes it right and sorts the snags out.
NHBC 5 star quality house.
I don't think so, questions need asking of the developer and the NHBC for signing this one off.
Wow!! That is absolutely horrendous, without doubt the worst one you’ve shown for a while.

Hi Mark, the drink didn't help, this house was full of nightmares for the customer.
Would love to know the price tag, utterly embarrassing,our nation is sliding so far down the drain.
HI Andrew over 500k for this one.
Wow, hope the customer gets some compensation!@@LivelyProfessionalServices
Wow! They expect this to be accepted at the cost of 10s of thousands! And the builders who did that! Shameful. They avoided the foam! Why! Foam could not have made it look uglier!
You are right, nothing would have made this house acceptable.
Hi there, which developer would you recommend please? Which is not as bad as HH, thanks

Year end completion says it all, get houses over the line no matter what the cost and this site agent has done his job
They have also got their bonuses, at the expense of the customer receiving a sub standard house.
Bloody hell, and this is what you can see so God knows what's hidden 😢 sad thing is that in ten years' time, it will be worse. And since when has the skirting board been glued on 😢😢😢😢
Hi Richard, I dread to think what is hidden in this house.
I came away from the new housing electrical contracting in 2015 and it wasn't like this then, even with the rush up to Christmas handovers. Either the price work is so poor that the job is being rushed so a decent wage can be made or there are not the experienced tradespeople out there.
Hi Anthony, it is a bit of both, subcontractors prices are tight and there is definitely a skills shortage, both with trades and site managers.

I couldn't agree more, the trickle vents are cheep and nasty.

Q. How do the customers react when u raise these items with them?
Hi Phil, this customer was fully aware of how bad the house was handed over, the issue now is getting the developer to put it right.
That must be one of your worst inspections Ian. There has to be Government intervention in this industry similar to what is being considered in Australia NSW to protect the purchaser.
HI Elfin, It is up there as one of the worst houses I have seen, legislation is long over due for new build homes.
There are no tradesmen on new builds..fact
Not fact.your opinion.although it's hard to disagree on this house
@@thomaswatt1658 been in the building trade 40 years and I can assure you development sites don't contain tradesmen..
No sympathy at all. Stop buying these new builds! Why would the developer do a good job when they can get away with poor cheap housing.
