PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Clearly you have never bought a BMW where everything is extra

when people say "turf thrown in". Do you mean its an extra with new builds?
So if you dont purchase it then do you just have mud as a garden?
You can save a lot of money by just buying turf yourself and laying it, or just leave it as mud.
Of course, if I were buying a new build I'd want to know if my neighbours will be buying turf or if I'll be living next to a pool of mud.0 -

Apparently the "no smoking" option (cigarette lighter deleted - socket still there though) is free.
Saying that I've just bought a Caterham, and this is a car where the heater, doors and roof are optional extras.Unless it is damaged or discontinued - ignore any discount of over 25%0
