Good to hear. Did a bit of research on the model, and found that it had been known for the glass door blowing up. I'm sure it's an outlier, hope…

Just about to move in, but a quick question:
Anyone else go with the basic Technika 900mm free standing oven?
I'm concerned we are going to run into issues :(

Hi all,
Anyone have any recommendations for driveway people and/or fencers?

Hi all, does anyone know with the build when we should organise House insurance? I believe until Handover this is Carlisle's reponsibility?

Are you able to construct the fence while build is going on is it best to wait until handover?

The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread

So it shouldn't be an issue??
Our FFL is 100.885 = this is before this change - is this ok?
