Anything wrong with your new house??

Hi, I bought a new home in 2004, watched it being built. It was also my 1st house with my now ex. It was really exciting & we had to have everything new, well we didn't have much anyway as we'd both been living back with our respective parents. It was great for 5 minutes, then we had prblems with pretty much everything. The boiler was fitted wrong, the water meter leaked all over the new kitchen cabinets, which we were not impressed at as we had paid for upgrades on the kitchen. The door lock on the front door didn't work, the dinternal door handles all got stuck after about a month. The stair case hadn't been fitted properly. The builders had laid turf, badly, that we didn't want as my ex was a dog handler and wanted all hard standing for his 2 dogs. When we first moved in they were still building other houses and one day I heard the sound of running water & as I walked into the kitchen, there was this labourer filling up his 3 buckets on my water bill!!!! I hit the roof & complained, put a lock on the garden gate. If your house is new, alot of your problems sound like shrinkage, which is what happens when the house settles. Our builders fixed any small problems like that for 2 years. Sorry to go on x Mrsl x

Our next door neighbor had all sorts of complaints, but we had very few. We hadn't been in the house long when our shower started backing up. Turned out one of the workmen had dropped a cloth down the pipe. Also something happened with the AC, some minor part. There were a few cosmetic things. That's about all...

I don't have a new house but would not be happy w/the problems u are having. People just half do their jobs anymore in my opinion. My son & dil have just had a new house built. We'll see if they have problems, i bet they will. i hope u don't have anymore.

When my father bought this house some few years ago, it was a wonderful outset and we all love it so we were so happy to be living in a grand house. But shortly after, there were the problems in the bathroom where the water in the tub was not going through the pipe outside, then the furniture in the kitchen was not quite good when we open the cupboard to see inside. The water pipe which goes upstairs was not totally functioning and the seller did not tell us that water was coming only early in the morning and late at night at about nine so it was really frustrating for all of us. Now we had to do everything.

Well i wished for a dream home. And i got it recently. I got little amount for it and rest through loan. I am happy i got my dream home near my farm without any problem
