No proper apprenticeships nowadays, one time it was a 4 year apprenticeship or more, now it's either cowboys or a YTS, plus no pride in their work and the developers just want the money.

Haha love how the guy says the outside is not too shabby when the back garden looks like a waterlogged ploughed field instead of a nice green lawn.

Cheapest materials for double overpriced house. Cheap doors, awful bathroom basins, heaters All basic appliances

Shouldn't it be checked " before the owner moves in, ??

The standard is absolutely shocking and appalling of all houses built and being built in Britain. It looks like the whole industry needs training and education and the NHBC needs to be more responsible and effective in making sure that work is done to the highest level with no difference between a 5 million pound House and a 40 thousand pound House. In fact it should be super easy to achieve on a 40 thousand pound House.😢😮

Well let’s put it this way, there’s no way I would buy this……..

All sheet flooring squeaks come back floor boards

I’ve heard of hot flushes 👻🤪

That floor wasn’t bad for a beginner lol

I think I’ll stay in my rented let the landlord take the strain peace of mind that’s what I pay for a lot of people don’t know this just pay rent and good to go 👍🏿👍🏿

Is all this Going to be done before buyer moves in I fear not 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Easy stuff but hard to get done nightmare it’s the workmen who do the damage shame

It all looks like a diy man done it for first time must do better top price for bottom job name the builder in bright lights 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Bay window waste of space no no for me

The house looked ok except for the carbuncle on top looking stupid should be the width of roof just saying

Just imagine you have move into a new house and you have builders coming in and out rediculous by an old house then you no were you are

To be fair there should be no no snags at all unless the builder doesn’t care none at all

You have more work todo buying a new house after paying well over the odds for it disgusting the bigger the builder the more work todo warranty forget it just a heads up

In the Lounge there was no decorative cover on the radiator lock shield valve!

Why was the site Managers or forms DOING no pride in the workmanship. If they did their job right the stair post out of plumb so much . The site manager should not approve payment to the so called tradesmen.

Excelent video, good clinical eye 👍🧐

Bodgit and Leggit springs to mind!

unsubbed channels dea dnothing in a year ...

Thank goodness for these videos to expose the draconian routine with a snag. I've had 4 new houses and presently purchased the showhome, and I can tell you with my experience that I would definitely recommend a ex showhome because it's been built to a proper standard as there's hundreds of customers buying into a dream. It's also been pampered every week with painters, cleaners and heated so settlement is minimal. But unfortunately this dream doesn't extend to the rest of new builds generally. The snagging day is laughable unless you take a professional stagger or spend hours pointing out to the site manager. Take ladders and a spirit level and take your time, DO NOT RUSH!!. check the loft with a torch and behind everywhere. The law desperately needs changing to a audit at every stage and I mean every stage by a independent government professional. Then no monies should be given until your 100% happy. To late when your in, yes your protected by the 2 year builders warranty and NHBC but you have moved in. Change in the new homes quality build needs totally revamping to protect customers. You wouldn't expect half of the issues on a new car so why your home .😊

Castlegreen homes shockin bunch and dangerous open chamber on site at college green chester , right opposite the show house . Lethal

This is unbelievably bad, every single thing seems to be installed wrong or finished poorly

i used to do snagger and hated it same poor work everytime so many things are done bad and people get sucked in to the new look once in they realise its shit work and coz now they have paid tjey fucked

Unfortunately typical of the large construction companies . I believe Redrow are worse than this now they are a bigger company than when they started out . Shameful , built by subbies , and the works are not checked and built to the lowest price hence the dreadful attention to detail. Wouldn’t have one .

I notice you don't have a ladder. Do you not check the roof?

maybe you could invest in a collor mike or do a talkover over the video as often because your in an empty house audio isn't so good. apart from the audio I'm loving the videos great content,

Hi. Im buying a bellway home in westhoughton, The question i have is, do i wait for completion and move in? Or can I get someone like you to survey it before i sign we are mov in August 24

Remember people it's the easiest job in the world to snag a plot anyone can do it.

Cavity-walls must NOT be bridged with insulation(insulation touching the outer walls inside the cavity-wall); or else moisture will transmit from the damp outer wall, through the touching bridging insulation, and into the inner wall; making the inner wall damp inside the building. Injecting foam into the cavity-walls stops the property from breathiing: resulting in drastic condensation saturation of the inner-walls inside the property. Cavity-walls that are already built up can NOT have cavity-wall insulation added. Cavity-wall insulation batts(panels) can ONLY be installed from the very start of construction of the cavity-walls. If cavity-wall insulation is to be used, there must be a large air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the outer wall inside the cavity-wall; this includes an air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the cavity-wall tie drip-points(which must point downwards in the centre of the cavity). Cavity-wall insulation batts must touch ONLY the inner-walls inside the cavity-walls (of course touching the cavity-wall-ties and retaining-clips also). Ask City & Guilds N.V.Q. (S.V.Q.) BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this.

I see quite a few of these snagging videos. I’ve never seen any checking of the main roof, or any mention of faults with it. Are they checked (as best you can without the scaffolding) ? The roof is obviously extremely important and once the scaffolding is gone, it can be very difficult to deal with any faults.

Just going to buy my sixth new build house, never had issues like this, buying a Bloor house in Burton that seems great quality, had a Davidsons New Build, fantastic quality, 2 Barrett houses in 2013 & 4 when they had a 5 year warranty, customer service was the best

600k and I would be disapponted in the quality of door hardware. Then in the kitchen, surely for a big house like this it needs wall cabinets and on the tall cabs there is no basic top pelmet. Just looks unfinished.

I'm about to pay a reservation fee for a new-build that hasn't even been built yet - but I have a get-out inasmuch as if I'm not happy, I can cancel the purchase. Some of the snags in this video are basic ones that a competent DIYer would be embarrassed to admit to, let alone a supposedly skilled tradesman...

To the people saying this is why they won’t buy a new build: this is the benefit of it, you can snag and have issues raised and fixed for two years. If you bought an old build you’d find years worth of issues and sometimes some horrific surprises, and you can’t call the previous owner to come fix it can you? 😂

Sometimes, the reason the underside of window boards get like this is:- a) The boarder doesnt jack the board up so it's tight underneath and b) When it does get filled and what not, the painter tends to come along and scrape underneath, I say scrape, more... Stab, and they knock the living poop out of it. Same around sockets, when you've got cleaner coming in, they usually scrape the muck off, but, when it comes to boarders cutting the sockets out of the board, they tend to cut the edges in a feather edge type way, so when they put the board up on the wall, if their cut is slightly out, the back box has less chance of hitting the back of the board, but the board is really thin now on them edges and they really cannot take much of a knock. Scruffy patching... Yeah, no need, but some sanding or whatever may get missed, but that's human nature... But in hindsight, NHBC Standards 9.1.3 states no artificial lights and you must be 2m away from the wall when inspecting it, but the problem is, some stuff only comes up depending where the sun is, one minute you can see stuff, clouds come over, and just like that... It's gone and the wall looks as flat as a pancake again... But if people relied on the NHBC Standards... You'd certainly see more "untidy" stuff, for sure, so all in, the most part, most drywall is brought up above and beyond the standards, believe it or not!

Vent exhaust for the ensuites? Where's all that moisture supposed to go?

it's like a factory second...

Woow so many issues! Is this normal or is it developer specific?

The other worrying factors are if this building company are not that bothered about quality control of the finish that you can see whats the condition of the building you cant see and thats actually the structure of the building. But we all know the standard of the building trade these days and their is nothing to choose between any of them. Im glad to be out of it.

Watching your video...I just cancelled my Redrow visit😂

I thought that most of the issues that you picked up on were as you said poor finishing. But I do have to ask did you take off the baby gate at the top of the stairs to see if the newel posts rested back to a plumb position.

It’s all about profit with these cowboys, and Anwyl are one of the worse the 10 year guarantee is a joke . Take a builder/ bricklayer with you when viewing any anwyl property!

Thanks for this - extremely helpful - please do more.

It doesn't matter how much the house costs, are people who can only afford 200k houses expected to put up with substandard work then? It should be right, irrespective of the cost...they same tradespeople work on cheaper houses too. Get yourself a radio mike for your collar, you sounded like you was in an aircraft hangar...and the music didn't help. Have these houses had there final snag and been handed over? Who's at fault?...agent?, trades?, main contractor? I'd say all 3

People in this country could learn a thing or two from the Japanese when it comes to pride in your work and good service. Shocking that these builders think this is okay.

Hi, we purchased a property 6 months ago and we have a major problem. As you walk out the property we have gallows supporting the porch which is obstructing the path to the property so you bang your head. Bellway have refused to help saying its complying to building regulations regrading the path. Have you got any advise please what i should do next. Thank you
