@@MikeLickorish any source for this ?

​@@hamaadjanjua999Lancashire times I think

I would guess that the strict building controls that were enforced and upheld by council inspectors have been replaced with "Self regulation" like everything else; and "Self regulation" means no regulation at all (look what happened to the banks) Probably the best houses to buy are the 1960 (or before) Local Authority houses as all standards were enforced -including minimum space. Some new build "three bedroom" homes are more like one bedroom and two storage cupboards.

@11 11 8 bedroom dream homes are not built by tract home scammers.

Asa Mitchell umm... Midcentury houses are much worse than 2000s and 2010s builds. they didn't have granite, they were 1200 sqft on average where as a new house is 2600sqft. The average new house has a 2-3 car garage and 4-5 bedrooms while a 60s house has 2-3 bedrooms and 1-2 car garages

Lucas Fernandez how does being smaller make them ‘much worse’? Many people like a smaller house.

11 11 exactly. I just finished getting my 57 bedroom home sorted, so any pokey 8 bed must be easy to sort

Yes you are correct @philipb867 I had one

we wont get regulated housing development with the tories in charge...

@@OrangeScythe Still playing Red Vs Blue eh? They are all the same.

@@jonathanwilson8951 we are also unlikely, albeit less so, to get regulated housing development with labour in charge...

@Seymour Butts To be fair; circa 1911 everyone was thinking in terms of radical right/left wing solutions .History tells us that both were total disasters and did nothing but cause mass murder and oppression.In his later books he at least begins to realise that the flowery ideals of socialism/communism are merely hot air used by psychopaths to gain power. In "Oil" I have to say that socialist Bunny really needs a good kicking ! (though I loved the quip about the rich generously refusing to buy cabbages and lard so that the poor could have something to eat!) For some reason Sinclair always had impossibly rich people as socialists (Lanny Budd in the World's End series of books-of which "The Dragon's Teeth" is still a great read about the rise of Hitler.) All the great writers of the left ended up disillusioned with socialism when faced with the reality of it (Orwell, Hemingway , John Dos Passos ,Steinbeck )even, though it has to be said that the middle way-Roosevelt's New Deal in the 30's worked and probably staved off fascism/communism in the US and the West . An extremely rare example of constructive government actually working for the people. And of course Sinclair's legacy was the introduction of meat inspection and food hygiene laws ! Not his intention when he simply described every day practices at the abattoir !

In what way

We don't want you here either, that' why we voted for Brexit.

Exactly my thought, buying a house without any inspection from a contractor or other competent person is just stupid.

Exactly the donut

or even just go look at the build quality themself and see how crap it was.

Some house builders don't let you have a surveyor before purchase. Probably for the reasons shown in this video

You don't have to have a survey done for a new build property like you would with any other property as a requirement by the bank/lender. You could get a snagging survey which basically just checks for poor finishing etc

agreed

You need to learn the difference between Their, There and They're. It is not difficult to get it right.

Kiely is dead, the dad.

@LadyC-ob6tn What is it that you're struggling to understand?

I do agree Tom Boot, I have had four new builds over my years on this Earth and each one has been a terrible Build, I thought I was the unluckily one and Would Get lucky and get my Perfect house, but no I gave up the fight and bought an older place, I am 74 now and can see it as only got worse in the Building Trade, it has ruined my peace of mind and I would never touch a New Build Again

And... your argument is dumb.

It wasn’t a hit and run. Brendan Kiely, 54, was drunk and walking along the middle of Ballam Road at around 9pm on April 1 when he was knocked over and killed in what police said was an unavoidable accident. At the inquest police and witnesses told the court that the male driver could not have avoided crashing into Mr Kiely as he drove from Lytham to Blackpool - with one specialist officer calling the tragedy 'inevitable'.

@Muso Snoop I didn't get that there was any bad business in the show. All I observed was an egomaniac talking about himself and pretending to be tough.
