BELLWAY HOMES DO NOT BUY

[Andreadorward]

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 😊

I'm trying to figure that as well

My back ground is construction too but I have to be honest I'm shocked at the standards. Bellway do not care how bad the state of the house the MD thinks I have been handed over a 5* home. He is delusional i wonder what his reaction would be if he was to purchase a home at this standard. We should be given compensation for the disgraceful state. I feel robbed 😪 what they have given me is shocking and they need to be accountable

I have already raised this with my MP. The standards are going to get worse if their is nothing to protect the homebuyers. This needs to happen sooner rather than later. These builder are robbing us blind and can build whatever they like as long as building control, NHBC pass certain things. 😢

Get some real problems cos if this is all you have to worry about !!!

When it's dry it looks awful it looks white and dirty marks and the stones are all over the place and not in the gaps. It just does not look like new block paving. You can't clean it either because the stones just come out. If you can suggest anything I can do I will listen to suggestions. I can't put sand down which is what I think it needs 🤔
