BELLWAY HOMES - DO NOT PURCHASE A HOUSE FROM THIS BUILDER - UPDATE
I thought I would share a few photo's of issues I had / have with my new build.
Other issues heating system not installed correctly heating on constantly for 7 days until they realised the valves were fitted the wrong way around
Different shades of tiles in the ensuite, tiles also have lips on. Their was a bulge in my cloakroom wall under the sink, the pipe work stuck out and the plasterboard was fitted over, it's now been fixed, skirting boards are not straight, concrete was left in the drain outside my garage, block paving is absolutely shocking and a huge socket that is not centred which is called a media plug. it looks hideous. Subfloor still an issue. Spotlights in kitchen look uneven and they won't change. I've managed to source an electrician who is moving them for £20, you pay £255k for a house and they won't move 3 spotlights.
it's probably because I have given them a 1 for the quality of the house. i wonder if I had given them a 5 would this have changed the outcome 🤔
All I hear is it's within tolerance what the hell!! why is this not put to buyers when they reserve? explain to them that if you have scratches on window panes and you stand back so many metres and you cannot see them then this is acceptable, tiles with lips on them and not straight this is acceptable if it's within the tolerance again, skirting boards on angles again. why are we paying a premium for a forever new built home for this to be allowed. I should not have to get all my tiles fitted again at my own expense because I am not happy with how these have been fitted. I am awaiting for the tiler to come back to me on what is within tolerance and what is actually being repaired.
LABC have been out to my home but I'm not holding my break, someone on my last post stated they are all for the builders. I will see what the report states and make judgement then.
I have spoken to my MP and awaiting what avenue we will go down
what issues have you had with a new build property and would you ever buy another one again?
please share just so home buyers are aware what actually can happen when they move into a new build home. When you reserve a property please think long and hard about the above issues I have had. I'm not saying everyone goes through this but if I stop one person / couple from making a massive mistake then I have done something right.
thank you in advance and for sharing 😊
