 We reported total loss of heating to #NHBC🤡 “Emergency Response” service early morning on Sunday.  We got a phone call from their on call gas engineer at midday today. 🤷‍♂️

New build in Britain is a complete and utter scam — and it’s only getting worse as Tories weaken building regulations and standards in return for developer donations.

Until the law changes you have more consumer protection buying a 50p tin of beans than you do a £300k+ new build house.

 For anyone living in Scotland: avoid MAK Electrical — absolutely clueless 🤠s and 🤡s.

The idiot who wired this house like a demented crack addicted 3 yr old is still working for them — despite being kicked off this site (albeit Scotia Homes kicked the useless w⚓️ off this site for being too slow, not for being utterly shite at his job).

New build relies on children straight out of school on apprenticeships to keep costs way down while they gouge buyers by restricting supply. 
 More quality work from #ScotiaHomes…

Our back door was so poorly hung its had to be ripped out and re-hung.

Now there’s a two inch gap around the frame and render — so that has to be ripped out and replaced — creating no end of mess and dust.

Avoid new build, lovers. It’s a total scam run by 🤠 w⚓️s and 🤡s.  

Scotia Homes is going bust soon anyhoo — 200+ houses in Forfar and Aberdeenshire have defective cladding Scotia botched the install on

German manufacturer is refusing to engage 🙃
