To think people can be really snobby/rude about new build houses?

[TheSubtleKnifeAndFork]

Just that really... I know they're not to everyone's taste but since we bought ours we've had some really rude comments about it. One person even asked me outright (with a real sneer) "Why on earth would anyone ever buy a new build?"... We're happy with it, which I know is all that matters, but I'm a bit gobsmacked by some of the outright rudeness about our new home. For example I've never particularly fancied living in a bungalow, but I wouldn't say that to someone who lived in one, or was thinking of buying one!

Don't get me wrong, I love character properties too (our first home was an older house which we renovated) but equally I don't get why buying a new build is so frowned upon? Or is is just my circle of acquaintance where people seem to have an issue with them?

To be honest, most people who replace a kitchen don't diy it, they get someone in to do it. We replaced our kitchen, we wouldn't have considered diying it.

I despise having people in to work in the house. PITA, ringing round, quotes, people who don't show up. Nope. That's why we went new build this time and love it.

Sure, but that's you and doesn't make the statement erroneous.

Eh? I don't give a flying fuck where other people live, Bluntness. It's a random internet post.

I could not agree more. Hate having builders and so on around. Nightmare. To be avoided at ALL costs.
