New Build Buying.

louisa_84

We bought a David Wilson home and its huge, with a huge detatched garage that more than fits my C4 Picasso - though i park it on the drive that has room for 4 of my cars, with a huge garden, no issues structurally or anything. I love my house and will stay here for the next 20 years minimum, whilst all my children go through school and what not, if not for life now.

Not all new homes are rubbish.

Have you seen the floor plans from taylor wimpey? They show miniaturefurniture, it is ridiculous when you see the dimensions, then see how muchfurniture you are supposed to be able to fit in. The garages are a joke, eventhey say you can only fit a small car in them. Who drives really small carsthese days, cars are getting bigger, new build home garages are gettingsmaller! go figure that out? Also the fittings are cheap! older houses havekitchens and bathrooms which have lasted decades, try getting a decade out of acheap kitchen, it doesn't happen. These houses aren't worth the money, theyalways tell you that you pay for quality, new fixtures and a warranty. Blowyour nose in that useless piece of paper because if you are lucky enough to geta good house structurally, it'll still be massively overpriced for everythinginternal. Don't be lazy and buy an older house and do the work yourself or atleast pay someone to do it for you. Money is saved and you then have a houseworth what you paid, so you can sell it and not be in massive negative equity.

the builder isnt taylor and wimpey

The site manager does not make any difference to the quality of Wimpey shacks,search on Twitter for pimms and you will see a whole new insight into Wimpeys.

I looked on twitter for @pimms but could only really find reference to the drink!
