When buying a
new home you expect everything to be in immaculate order, after
all, the house has just been built. Most new houses come with a
ten year NHBC warranty which guarantees it against structural defects.
However this warranty does not cover you for minor problems with
the house that so many new homes seem to have these days.
Here are some
things that you can do to reduce your chances of buying a defective
new home:
Buy from
a developer that has a good reputation. Do not just view the show
home, try to inspect other properties on the site to see what
the finish is really like.
Try to talk
to other people on the site and get a feel for their relationships
and dealings with the developer.
Consider
visiting other developments built by the same company and see
what their condition is now that are lived in. Ask residents if
they have had any problems
