New build - who is very happy with theirs?

Our house is a relatively new build (2013) on a small estate (site of a former hotel). We're the second owners. The building company is local (Fred Story) and there are quite a lot of Story Home estates around Cumbria and the Scottish Borders. I never thought I'd fall in love with a modern house (both our previous properties were 'period') but we both love it here.
I think it really does vary. I suppose, being the second owners, all the snagging issues were already resolved when we moved in (2019) but I know the original owners also loved the house and we have friends in Story houses on other estates who are also extremely happy with the standard of build. I must admit we viewed a few new build houses when we were house hunting that were pretty dire in terms of space, quality, etc.1
