Badly fitted kitchen

DD moved into her first home today.

Previous owners put in new kitchen, new bathroom. House is really, really lovely.

Washing machine arrived, and DD had paid extra for the delivery men to also plumb it up. Turns out the new pipe work behind the spit where machine should go isn't UK compliant - nice delivery chaps said that they are millimetres out, but that it can't be plumbed in. So they need a plumber.

When it came to putting the machine into place (just for now, to clear the kitchen) , it wouldn't fit. Turns out the newly tiled floor isn't even and one of the new cupboards at the side isn't sitting straight.

Then, when washing up our mugs, water started pouring out of the pipe work underneath the sink.

Fridge arrived later on. Slotted into place nicely. But, no room for the bloody doors to open. She's bought a standard sized fridge and there is only one spot in the kitchen for it to stand.

Where does she stand with this? Is this entirely her problem or can she contact the EA to ask for help?

Thanks.

Unfortunately this is a case of 'buyer beware'. She has no comeback for this as the owner is not obliged to tell you anything like this. Did you have a survey, did they raise any concerns at all about the kitchen?

as on the other thread - sale has completed and it is all her problem now.

Ok - thanks everyone for your advice.
