Useless Garden - Redrow
Jarmum
Posts: 2 Newbie
I'm looking for some advice. My daughter bought a Redrow house in Lanark 5 years ago. We put down turf. in a mater of months we noticed problems with the garden in that water (rain) seemed unable to drain. It was a bad summer so we put it down to that and hoped things would improve the next year. They didn't, we complained to Redrow who after much delay agreed to put in drainage but only up to the 3 metre line. Their engineer came and did the work and said that it would help but wouldn't solve the problem. He didn't exaggerate - now 5 years on the garden is unusable and any time it rains is like marshland. We have been back in touch with Redrow this previous year who say that it is not their responsibility.
NHBC agree with them and the 3 metre line rule. Basically my daughter does not have a garden that can be used for any purpose. Do we have any rights at all?
