Thanks mate, definitely worth the risk. Haven’t regretted it so far anyway 😂😂

Definitely we really enjoyed looking round it. It’s not a bad one that’s for sure 😄😄 ❤️

Evening, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it means a lot. Trying too that’s for sure 👍😁

Hey good evening, hope you’re doing well. Yeah you’re not wrong, it is a lovely home but yeah definitely plot dependent for gardens. Worth waiting for a decent one. 😁

Hello, thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment. It was filmed September 2021 and we picked up the keys on the last day of January 2022. They tried to get us in sooner but we nipped in a few weeks prior at the start of January and saw sooooo many issues that they fixed before we moved in. Things like wonky outlets and gaps in the kitchen cupboards and countertops, poor laying of bathroom flooring etc. nah we didn’t in the end but alot of our neighbours went with snagsure. sorry for the long message. 😁😁

@@DevoVlogs Thank you so much for the reply! We are having our first fix "hard hat" visit on Wednesday and they are saying it should be finished in October so wasn't sure if that was actually possible. Gosh you had a lot of problems!

Congratulations on the new house October will fly by. If you get a chance to get in before you pick up your keys definitely do it so they can fix some things before you move in. But yeah it’s possible if anything maybe too quick 😂😂 honestly we had a small amount compared to some of our neighbours. Some people have had nightmares with the water tank and burst pipes. We’ve had no major issues. The biggest was moving a towel rail but that wasn’t bad to be honest. I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time regardless. ❤️

Morning, yes you can. Awkward 😂 Some writers will use both a question mark and exclamation point for an exclamatory question, What in the world are you doing up there! Etc or if the question is meant to be rhetorical. Having said that not going to lie didn’t even think about it or notice when I did the upload 😂

Haha I’ll let him know you said hey ❤️ thanks we can’t picture it the other way now. 😂 x

Hey Cassie thanks very much. Trying to upload more consistently recently. 😄 hope you’re well. ❤️

@DevoVlogs I'm very well thank you! Always love your tours and home DIY vlogs 👍

Good good glad to hear it. Awww thank you that’s great glad you enjoy them. We always have a good time making them. 😄😄

Haha so much room for activities ❤️

Thanks Lloyd means a lot. Hope all is well. ❤️

Hey good afternoon. That’s a good question. I’m out walking the dog now but I’ll check when I’m back and message you again 😄👍

@@DevoVlogs thank you 😊 🙏

@delfinamontalvao8846 thank you for your patience. In inches the frame is 13 by 13 and the pictures are 8 by 8. The frames are from the range 😁😁

@@DevoVlogs thank you so much for your information and much appreciated it 😊.

No worries anytime. Glad to help 😁 thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.

Haha I told the mrs, who was very happy that people agree. Before getting a house I’d never thought about it but it’s a must for sure. 😁

100% it can be difficult to arrange some of these new build bedrooms to accommodate clothing. Not many of the show homes have anything for this unless the room has enough space for a fitted wardrobe. It’s something we always look out for and shelving in the bathroom for toothbrushes etc.

@@DevoVlogs the small kids bedroom can be a closet.

@user-hi5wp9ds6o not a bad idea to be fair. Seen quite a few people do that. 😄

Awww thanks Evie glad you enjoy them ❤️ we absolutely can I’ve found one not too far from us in Merseyside. We’ve booked into view a scrivener, can easily include it. Would love to go see it to be honest 😂😂 x

That sounds amazing! We have just brought a Thespian as our first home and would love to see you tour one ❤xxx

Oh wow amazing congratulations hope you’re having a good time in the new home and it’s being kind to you. (Not to many snags 😂) the one in Merseyside looks great cant wait to have a little look at it to be honest 😄 x

Oh amazing how you finding it? I’m very glad one of our videos helped you out. 😁😁 we kept referring back to it as well 🤣

Good evening Dan. That’s a good question 😄 we bought a Bellway home a few years back with the extractor fan going to an external exit (hope that’s what you meant) but it does run the pipes etc through the walls. I would assume that Bellway houses are the same but in truth I’ve not thought about it. I’m sorry I realised I haven’t really helped here I don’t think. Do you know which would be best, or preferred?

Firstly I love your user name mini eggs ❤️ honestly hadn’t heard of Avant homes before. Just checked them out and the closest one to us is Telford. We’re based in north wales, we probably won’t be able to get to them 😕 my apologies. (If that’s what you meant). If it’s not what you meant then no there isn’t unfortunately they’re quite far away. Are you thinking of getting an Avant new build?

I bought one three years ago before they were bought by persimmon. I was just curious if they had changed much

@MiniEggs1999 ah fair enough didn’t know that. There is a fair amount of persimmon homes developments closer by for sure. I would hope so. I hope yours has been good to you and you haven’t had any serious issues 👍👍 congratulations though on the house three years isn’t that long in my opinion still new 😄

Thanks Lloyd as always you’re a legend thanks for taking the time to watch and comment ❤️

😂 thank you very much he is wonderful needy one for sure ❤️

Aww thanks Laura that’s very kind. 😄😄 x

Aww we kinda liked mirrors (if that’s what you meant) but I think they’ve done it to try and make the space look bigger. 😕 Gotta love houses, everyone puts such a cool spin/personality on them 😄

@@DevoVlogs no, if you look at the actual wall finish between the first 2 mirrors it looks like its not been finished correctly.

@Matt-mu1mg oh sorry apologies. Yeah you’re not wrong, there was some finishing issues for sure. In between the mirrors on the stairwell was like a textured wallpaper thing. Seems to be in a lot of show homes recently. One we viewed a few weeks back had like a woven wallpaper 😕

Thanks Marie 😁 good shout and nice to mention. We forgot about it haha I have put it in the description but yeah needed bringing up 😄

Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to write the comments. It means a lot ❤️ I agree just chatted about something similar with the mrs and we said it’s like they are thinking an en-suite will help sell better than having a bigger room/space, perhaps for convenience.

@@DevoVlogs they assume a bedroom will end up a closet. But what is the harm in another foot in each direction being planned at the start? The single looks big enough for one. Odd that is the best of the 3 bedrooms.

Definitely something like it for sure a box room or something. Should be no harm at all beneficial for sure in some cases. Interesting isn’t it, some layouts in homes could be reviewed / modified to suit people’s needs. I’m sure people would pay to completely customise the layout.

😂 just watching it back and it does seem rather tiny. Be prepared to move closer 😄

Haha yeah it’s a bit of a strange choice. Kinda low if you sit up too quickly or not pay attention you’re in for a sharp surprise 😂

Awww Fred thanks mate means a lot. Very glad you enjoy the videos. ❤️

100% agree Angela wouldn’t swap our Weston for a Mason. We love ours exactly like you said the rooms are bigger the mason has a lot more but feels squashed. If someone is getting a mason they will have a wonderful home but prefer ours for sure. Our shower doesn’t have a button, it’s a rain shower with little rotating dials on the side. We’ve seen show homes with a big red electrical button on the outside of the room 😄 oh for sure same here very happy we got ours before they got rid 😂

Legend thanks 😄

Evening, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 😁 Both the dinning area curtains and our bedroom was from dunelm and the living room curtains from the range 👍

Thanks mate means a lot 😄

Hey Jessica. Thank you very much. So far so good lots to go though to finish it off. Especially with us not having an unlimited budget 😂😂. Congratulations for when you reserve your home definitely exciting times. Well there is a difference of opinion here. I seem to remember there being free options at the silver level or options but the wife says that was wall tiling. Ayeisha (wifey) says she doesn’t remember any free flooring options. Honestly she’s hardly ever wrong 🤣. We did something similar and put a lot of our money in the deposit because our house price was put up quite a lot but COVID helped us save more. When we bought our home there was a lot of very good free options but sorry to say this probably isn’t the flooring. ☹️ x

@@DevoVlogs Thank you so much for your reply! I did think it is likely that there isn't anything included... but as you say, we'd rather invest in the shell now and then we can slowly fill it how we want!! We're just waiting on our mortgage advisor to confirm we can afford and then we're heading back to reserve in the next week or so! Your videos have been so helpful with the process, and great to see you back making further updates! x

@ohtoread not a problem sorry it was quite long. 100% no rush at all. I mean it’s nice to get everything at once but not realistic for us anyway. Oooh fingers crossed crossed 🤞 it will be fine I’m sure and then the fun starts / pain with waiting to move in haha 😂 thank you very much we need to upload more for sure and the next update is a weird garden one we’ve had to build a new gate 😫

Dont watch then but thanks for taking the time to comment 😂

I'd rather live in Dick and Doms bungalow 😂

@cbankzy1340 Feel free bud go for it. So you’d rather live in a house full of other peoples kids. Bit weird mate.

Morning, yeah big news to be honest. The weeds are gone (ish) lawn is finally down and the raised sleepers have been ordered so they should be in within the next few weeks. Weather permitting. We have had a few set backs, a few really bad storms which destroyed our gate and fence so we’ve had to prioritise getting the garden secured 😕

That’s very kind Matthew thanks very much. Congrats on the new build. Honestly we were told the same to wait for 12 months for settling etc. However we thought to hell with it they’ve decorated the show homes so why not. Nothing special just regular paint and wallpaper 😁😁 nothing has gone wrong.

Definitely for sure 😜❤️

However, there'd never be a carpeted main hall/foyer, and there wouldn't be a door between it and the living room. In fact, carpet in general is out of style for high end housing in the USA. Hardwood floors are preferred. Also, there likely wouldn't be a formal living room at all in USA new builds. The two living spaces would be combined into one giant open plan room. The other option would be to make the back living room larger and the front one smaller to be used for an office or some other use other than a formal reception type space. All in all though, I can see where the American home is influencing the direction of many UK new builds.

@@johnlabus7359 oh for sure, never been a fan of a carpeted hallway. Open plans are starting to come into the UK, definitely inspired / taken from the USA. For the better in some cases .

Lloyd nice to hear from you mate hope you’re well 😀 Loads to be honest spent the last month battling the weather in the garden and adding to the interior to make it more homely. We’re filing a 2 year update this weekend and the next garden update in a few weeks. 👍👍

Oh for sure getting abit bonkers now

Haha yeah heard horror stories about stuff like that. Definitely needs doing to be fair.

Wow thanks for this definitely worth highlighting 👍❤️

Ok I don’t know what that means but thank you.

Wow thank you Nigel that’s very kind 😁 probably fair to say we did have help with the wallpapering 😂. That’s good to know I always worry about that part haha. Congratulations that’s amazing the year will fly by I’m sure. We have a scrivener booked in to view in a few weeks 👍👍 enjoy my good sir.

Thank you that’s very kind. Honestly our original reason for seeing all the different show homes was the same for decor and interior design 👍 oh good glad they are helping somewhat. We are planning a 2 year update video soon, I’ve had a bad flu which has put me out for a while so the mrs actually uploaded the video this time. 👍👍 thanks again and congrats on the home especially with it being so recent 😁😁

Yey good good. I kept asking the mrs to check I’m sure she got a little annoyed 😂. You’re very welcome thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. It means a lot. Hope you’re still loving your new build 👍👍

@@DevoVlogs yes we are still loving our new build! We have a persimmon Lumley (4bed detached) it would be very interesting if you could find one, to see how it compares to some if the 4 bed Belways 😀

@cassieselby4489 that’s good glad you are. We’re planning a 2 year update video soon ourselves, it’s flown by. Yeah for sure it would be I’ll try my best to find one to have a cheeky look 😁😁

You’re not wrong there 😁😁 I guess that’s normal for children then.

I think they’d come in handy with the amount of coats / shoes

@Itanit878 haha yeah good point 😁
