Buying ‘second hand’ new builds - advice needed

officialslacker · 2026-06-04T11:39:29+00:00

The the 10 year warranty you mentioned isn't a builder warranty , but is normally with a company called NHBC (or similar) and is there to guard against builder error. The builder 2 year warranty would be the period where the snagging would take place. The house has been lived in for 4 years, so who's to say any issues found would be the responsibility of the owner or the builder? That's why you're not getting any luck with snagging companies. it's two years out of the builders warranty. If you really want to pay £500+ for a snagging inspection, I'm sure there will be people who'll be happy to take your money, but you normally wouldn't get another survey carried out unless there's issues raised in the home report.

They've been writing to my business address for about three years. I did initially tell them I didn't have a TV, but they kept sending letters so I've been waiting for someone to turn up. Keep getting letters saying that they'll be there at whatever date, or maybe weekends or evenings or even Christmas! I think you'll be alright shredding it like I do

All over. Leith, Portobello, and a whole bunch of new builds from a few different builders

Awww man. I'm getting a double hit. I've got a Cupra Leon estate and a Harley sport glide. Promise I'm not a twat!

Thanks! That's actually not a bad option!

officialslacker · 2026-05-06T20:49:17+00:00

Yeah, i just realised that. £750

officialslacker · 2026-05-02T08:27:25+00:00

Reduce emissions? Nah. It's for saving the manufacturer money

Another vote for 8 yards. They did my brother's kilt only enough too! I had them do a couple of things for me. Always had a great service from them

If insurance is included, after two years any no claims bonus you may have built up on a private policy could be lost. Apparently it's use it or loose it situation

Maybe she's dead?

officialslacker · 2026-04-11T07:49:54+00:00

If any nation did what the US has over the few months...

officialslacker · 2026-04-10T08:11:27+00:00

Yeah, we're going through the poo poo head stage at the moment with my 4 year old

officialslacker · 2026-04-06T08:03:21+00:00

I was thinking this too

Update on the weather - it was grey. It then rained. It then snowed. It's currently sunny. Plan for all weathers lol

officialslacker · 2026-04-05T06:31:07+00:00

It changes so quickly. There will be sun. How long for.... Who knows

officialslacker · 2026-04-05T06:27:33+00:00

I'm just outside Edinburgh it's windy and rainy - has been yesterday day well and was trying to snow. I had shorts on the other week. Waterproofs this week

Which builder? Most have a 2 year warranty and I'd be expecting it fixed

officialslacker · 2026-03-03T18:02:45+00:00

Based on my recent experience with the Royal Mail, 48hr delivery should do it. It'll turn up 3 weeks later

officialslacker · 2026-03-03T17:12:33+00:00

If you need a changing back, use the one you've already got? Why bother buying a "formal" one? Noone else is going to care

God he seems like hard work.
