    I reckon when buying a new build - especially if its off-plan - the excitement and (unrealistic) expectation of a perfect new house build up over time as you watch them build the house. Combined with the usual stresses of moving house it means that relatively small disappointments provoke a strong emotional reaction. Given time though, normal sanity does (usually) prevail :beer: No house is perfect!
    I agree with this, but people differ considerably in their long term reactions.

    Often, people don't settle in a property for trivial reasons which others would ignore. My parents were like that, and as a child it annoyed me, but they couldn't help themselves.

    Moving is expensive. My feeling is, it's just a wall. It can be fixed.
