Current defects, with most defective first would be something along the lines of…

– Water entering at main entrance and laminate floor permanently warped and destroyed

– Windows sinking out of frames and not closing. Told not to open the bedroom window

– Driveway sinking in various sections and collecting pools of water

– No clear property boundary which means that people constantly walk through our property and over a small side garden and plants (our property is on a corner) onto a public footpath. Documentation from Persimmon states "Boundary to public areas to be wall or 1.8m close boarded as on site layout"

– Double garage doors do not fully close, and one is not fully secure

– Massive cracks all down the side of the staircase where you can see through the plasterboard (not just simple shrinkage), and also in the cloakroom ceiling under the staircase

– Warping in walls in a number of rooms

– Kitchen units poorly fitted, misalignments, and damaged

– Exterior paint and render damage after chimney repairs

The windows sound really awful as does the warping! Probably doesn't console you a lot, but the issues with cracking and also people walking across boundary seem to be common: after three years my staircase is still cracking, and unfortunately pretty much all the way around the house my skirting boards have cracked away from the plaster. When I first moved in, I actually had mould growing on the skirtings as they were so wet! I was told this was normal drying out. People on the other side of development have had to put fenced up at their own expense as people walk through their front paving to go around the corner: how lazy can you be! I also had to have my kitchen worktops replaced after 6 months and some integrated doors had to be re-fitted in the kitchen as they were put on quite badly. But this is a Crest house!

I hope you get your more serious issues sorted.
