Not sure why my previous response was blank - sorry about that.
Yes, it is bad being made to wait. Funny how they gave me only 7 days to make payments,…

We had our 3 month inspection and pointed them out only to be told that they wouldn't fix them till the house is 18 months old.

Thanks.
Looking at the photos though, it may have to be option 3 with the external Raven seal.
We don't have space for option 1 and although option 2 would have been…

Yes, I've raised the issue with the builder, but am yet to hear anything back from them. Was even told at the 3 month inspection that this is how it's…

Trip hazard? I've walked over doors with a raised lip for 38yrs or more and can't ever remember tripping over one. This is the first door I've ever had that…

Yep, north facing and nothing in front of us to break the wind.

Oh, you can hear it. When I sent it to the new home team they told me they couldn't hear anything. Selective hearing maybe.
Here's the wind issue with the front…

We had A&L out again today, must be the 5th time and this was the first guy I would say was thorough and competent. He physically removed the window from…

All of our windows are awning windows as we selected double glazing for the whole house. Porter Davis however, made some of them fixed i.e. non-openable. As A&L's fixed windows…

3 months after moving in an A&L still haven't fixed our window problems. Really disgusted at the fact that after each visit (where they don't resolve the issue), you are…

Yes, we initially had the same problem, but you can move the upper basket up. The problem then is that it makes that space for glasses and cups smaller. You…

That's also assuming everything goes to plan.
We were 8 months behind the contract date by the time we got to handover.

Seeing as Porter Davis are taking forever to resolve the issues with my house now that we've moved in (4 weeks for a carpenter, 3 weeks for A&L etc), it's…

We've got the same problem, but have only been in 6 weeks.
