Our inspector Lee attended a property this week which demonstrated how poorly a new build house can deal with drainage during heavy rainfall.

We have attended a couple of houses this week which have breached fire safety.
These have both been built by small scale developers that have charged a premium for the privilege of having a 'bespoke' home.

    "I always insist that there is specific provision for snagging," says Thomas Moran, partner at law firm Speechly Bircham. "Reputable developers do this anyway, but there are all sorts in the market, some big, some small, so you need a contractual promise than within, say, a year they will come back to remedy any minor defects in the finishing."
