They have had 10% 33K since last July/August

Yes the fence is shocking, but what about the garden? It hasn't been cleared and turfed!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

It is starting to take over my whole day thinking about it and the disappointment

With 2 broken arms one screwed and plated and in a support with the other in a plaster cast I have loads of time which in turn makes it worse

Don’t let it upset you- they want your money more than you want the house! Having bought a new build 11 years ago it has been a great home- but my only advice would be pay for a professional snagger before completing. It will save you a load of time and hassle- something I wish I had done!

They will not let anyone in or in site until completion not even to measure for flooring

I am and engineer my dad was a Joiner and my mate who is coming over it the building maintenance manager for Hull prison and has worked in housing as well

When I rang a few pro staggers up there is no legal weight behind their report

TBH I don't quite understand, given the content of this thread, why you went through with the purchase. You always have options, albeit in the case of moving, expensive and logistically problematic ones.

The other thing that has been niggling me is how did you manage to move house with two arms in plaster? Who does the packing/ unpacking?

The shower is a H&S issue. Get the builders to sort that yesterday!

They have had £35,000 of my money for 11 months as a deposit I would have lost that

I have not moved in I have been in rented for a few years as well as my old house that sold 18 months ago so still as I was and they can put right as much as they are going to as soon as possible being off sick means I can spend my time chasing them almost full time.

At the hospital on Wednesday, maybe to have the plaster off and maybe drive again so life will get better
