    I fear your money is gone, they're under no obligation to put 'right' any of the stuff that you don't like.

    Thanks for your reply, what about the additional fees, and overshoot of the agreed move in date, would I have any ground there?

    Are you confusing the boiler with the hot water tank?

    Yeah, there are two boilers, well I think one is a boiler and one is a tank. We where told the boiler would be in a cupboard upstairs, but this now seems to be the tank, and the actual boiler is in the kitchen.

    No not yet, the developers have simply not sent the contracts over to our solicitors yet. We where actually suppose to move in today, but as the developers still haven't sent the contracts, were not. Does this work in our favour?

    No, if you have not exchanged contracts yet nothing is binding and unfortunately really long delays, esp in buying new build (& off plan) are par for the course.

    Did you sign any agreement when paying your deposit? What did it say?

    Well yeah, but the problem is that there isn't suppose to be anything in the kitchen.
