Hi all,
We have recently exchanged contracts on a new Redrow home and are due our options/extras appointment this week.

For anyone that has a Redrow home,
• Do you get to see any sample choices in person rather than just online?
• Do you get to see any sample choices in person rather than just online?
• Any ‘must haves?’
• Any ‘avoids’
I have also read online about their built in wardrobes being rather cheap looking/built. Is this correct? They’re something that we want but aren’t willing to pay the price if they’re cheap made.
I aim to negotiate for some incentives, however I aren’t expecting them to budge much.
Thank you 😊

The negotiating part is surely done BEFORE you exchange.
Why would they give you anything now, it's not like you can walk away ...1 -
I have bought a new build before, you can negotiate at any stage.Sure they’d rather us pay X amount for extras if they throw something in that we negotiate instead of us paying nothing and getting external companies in.Thanks for your concern 😊0
