Just had a call to invite us to preview our new house and meet site manager, what actually happens on this day.
Thanks

It sounds as if you will meet the site manager and view the house. You might even get a cup of tea and a buscuit.

thats correct.I have had 3 new houses and each one has been different.You usually look around as you said, checking items out for faults.We hardly found any with this house and we are experienced at it! Good builder! Other houses, we found had the vent above the windows filled in,so they emptied those, a black scrape mark on bathroom sink,which wouldnt come off,(i wasnt really all that bothered about that so they offered money off instead of fitting new sink!) Run every tap to check boiler working,and that pipes dont leak,do upstairs first, then when you come down see if anymarks on ceiling where water may have leaked!That actually happened in my "used" house,even turn boiler on for rad check and fire on,try every light switch, check for finish on plugs,light switches,Check for any cracks in windows(again we had a couple of scratched windows but no big deal to me)loft hatch,try and pop head up if you can,they may have dumped stuff up there,our builder dumped double the amount of insulation,no wonder this house is flippin warm!
outside i would check window fit,doors lock,windows all have a lock,pointing,vents...erm thats it for now,write all this down and tick off as you go.!hope this helps
