These are the “snags” we reported in our new build home to Taylor Wimpey. Do not just leave it, get it reported within the first seven days of moving into your home.
Within this vlog, we touch upon the warranty and what it does not cover.
As of January 2021, we are still in dispute with one of our major snags with Taylor Wimpey, so please follow along with our journey to see how we got on and has the issues finally been resolved?

@superduper2100 3 года назад

I work on newbuilds, i wouldn’t touch a new build home without getting a professional snagger in. The site i have been on built a really nice house and to people that dont know what they’re looking for, its perfect. They luckily got a snagger in, he pulled 300-400 snags, one of which was the big garage door needed replacing. That garage door is now on a different property where the buyer didnt get a professional snagger 🤷🏼‍♀️

Bought a Mc Leans house off plan and you have to pay before moving in. First surprise was that the built in master bedroom cupboard had been entirely filled by the hot water tank as they couldn't be bothered to fit it understairs, as plans.If in the bathroom and someone walked past on the landing the floor moved down and then up again. Oh, and stairs moved a couple of centimetres away from walls. The first summer we had weeds growing through the warm air vents.

I'd not buy any new house, and "new" would be stuff back to the 00's. The only way you could get me into a "new" home would be if it was a independent build. It's just rubbish. Flimsy, poor materials, poor quality boilers, kitchens, bathrooms, windows, electrical fixtures, the lot is just cheap tat. Contractor special the lot. This house will last 40-50 years tops.

@Mixedia 3 года назад

@@peterpeterson9903 there has been well over 1000 new build homes in my area in the last 2 years and you couldn't pay me to move into a single one of them. The short amount of time it takes them to go up should be a big indicator as to the quality, you shouldn't be able to get a full brick laid house up in less than a day with only 3 bods on site, and yet within a week they can get 50+ up. Also, you can't just stick brick onto a wooden frame and call it a day, there's supposed to be more than one layer to a house. I don't understand how they're getting away with it. We're looking to move house this year and if the building hasn't been there at least 30 years we aren't interested 🤷🏻‍♀️

@peterpeterson9903 3 года назад

@@Mixedia Exactly, we built an extension last year and even getting it built really well, allowing for timber shrinkage etc. before putting in windows and doors and putting up the blockwork or plasterboard takes time, you cannot rush that. I also insisted on 2x6 studs so the walls are serious, I used loads of concrete and block and just made sure it was built solid. Didn't cost much more either, these new houses are just lego. When the Tarmac rep came to see me to discuss my concrete pour he was telling me that several large house builders were using Tarmac Topflow concrete (basically a soupy mix that self compacts and more or less levels - it just needs tamped with a sort of rake thing with 2 handles to slosh the stuff about) then starting building on it the following day, even though Tarmac advise them to wait 3 days minimum longer if cold. No one cares is the issue. Where are all the quality trades people and why are the management and foremen all about rush rush cheap cheap. Just money grabbing is all. I feel sorry for people who buy new builds as they probably don't know what awaits them, for if they did, they wouldn't buy it.

It’s the biggest scandal currently ongoing in this country today. Mass building of cheap, poor quality housing at extortionate prices fuelled by a so-called ‘housing crisis’ when there are 100s of thousands of empty homes across the country. Large-scale house builders get billions in government grants for affordable housing, get huge planning applications for swathes of green/agricultural/protected and unsafe land (flood lands, former mines, etc...) approved, the quality of workmanship, materials, finishes, treatment of staff, and land treatment is appalling, and their lack of contribution or weaselling out of local community projects is absolutely horrendous. These companies and the politicians that facilitate them truly are poison, the quality housing in this country is completely on its knees.

Moving the rad sounds easy. But it will expose old fixings and need re tileing. It will need to have pipework extended along as well. To do it properly one would have to disturb skirting tiles and plasterboard. Extend pipework then fefit plasterboard tiles to match. ( God luck) refit skirting etc . Love to know how they straightened pedestal without messing up flooring.

@tracer1127 3 года назад

It’s nice to know that since I bought my wimpy home 20 years ago that they have continued in tradition of shoddy workmanship. Luckily as a kitchen and bathroom fitter I was able to rip out the bathroom and 2 en-suites after a couple of years because I was sick of the constant leaks. The novelty of having a shower in the kitchen whilst cooking the tea soon wore off. The kitchen always smelt funny and it became obvious why when I ripped that out as the builders had drilled out a boss in the soil pipe and left it unplugged, nice. Who says buying a new house is trouble free ? Good luck getting the work done.

Must be great for the builders on the site to know that they are proper cowboys who couldn’t give a damn about the people buying the houses. It’s kept me busy over the years knowing that most people buying a new home will be that sick and tired of the kitchen, bathroom, en-suite etc either leaking or not living up to their expectations that they will employ someone like me who gives a damn to make it right for them. Thanks.

@andrewbrowning9329 3 года назад

Like others, this is why I'd be reluctant in purchasing a new build. It blows my mind that people even purchase houses before they've even layed a brick. If this is the standard of workmanship on just the cosmetics it's frightening to think about the quality of workmanship on the things you don't see like the structure etc 🤦

@wilfulsprite555 2 года назад

I bought my first home new in 1981 when it was 4 bricks high. It was a Barratt home and they were the butt of everybody's jokes then. Compared to today's new builds, it was solid and professionally built! The only issue we has was the wooden windows rotting inside 2 years.

I bet it’s the radiator that they don’t want to move! They’ll be saying to you that every house of that design is the same. However, the toilet is not fit for purpose, and you stand a real risk of being burnt. They won’t want to move the radiator because it’ll be a tricky job. However, I suggest changing the radiator to a towel warmer that won’t stick out from the wall as much? And, like you said, slide it down the wall a little. OR.....swap the bog and the sink round!!

In the bathroom that toilet looks too close to wall aswell, odd that it's a normal rad and not a towel rail. Regarding the render on the back, it was probably put on in the rain so thats what those streaks are, and on the side the bottom half was done left to dry and than finished the top.

I will never buy from TW again, 5yrs I’ve been in my house and can’t wait to sell up next yr. believe it or not but I only noticed last yr that 1 of my doors to a room doesn’t stay shut because the catch on the door is no where near even level to sit in the hole and keep the door closed! 2 of the doors have bowed and must be the cheapest doors available. Slabs were loose in my back garden. Had to the move the shed to the far corner because the geniuses dumped it smack in the middle of the garden!!!! The finish above my back door is awful. The middle and top floor feels so flimsy that I feel I’m gonna fall through the floor at any minute and I’m 10.5st, when I reported this 2 guys came round and I’ve never seen anyone walk around so light footed before and they had the nerve to say there’s nothing wrong.

I think every new build owner will have a story or several to share! We brought our house new from Linden homes back in 2015. I Kidd you not we had just over 130 snags on ours, ranging from small scuffs on the walls, incorrect flooring, damaged kitchen worktops, hot and cold mixer tap incorrectly plumbed, the waste pipes on the sinks, shower and the bath not connected at all.... I won’t go on. We now loving call our house the Friday home (seems like the trade people who built ours liked to knock off early on a Friday) don’t let them fob you off with anything, for the majority of people a home will be the most expensive thing you ever purchase. I had to argue, if I brought a new car with a scratch down the side would that be acceptable?? It took just a little over 4 weeks from my first contact to them sorting it all.

We moved into our Taylor Wimpey home in September 2015 and in March 2021, we are still finding issues that were caused by shoddy building work. I was like you when we moved in and thought it wasn't too bad, but as time went on, we kept finding more and more things. The worst was the electrical fire which started due to them using incorrect wiring (only happened around 3 years after moving in). Make sure that you fully use your 2 year warranty period - you will find more things. The other huge issue we are having with Taylor Wimpey, is that despite completing our development in 2016, the roads are STILL not up to standard for adoption by the council, so we still have to deal with them. I would NEVER EVER buy a Taylor Wimpey build again (and I know other builders have even worse quality issues, but it makes no excuse for TW).

@rayeverett8501 Год назад

What is needed is a list of the most common snags to look for. Here’s one - damage to kitchen worktops. They fit them, then use the to stand on, leave tools on etc. To cover the surface scratches they use varnish. That will eventually wear off, but past the 7 days and then they will blame you.

Broadband / telephone access line also constantly has problems and telephone always has a bad line. 6. The radiator in the downstairs WC isn't screwed on properly. 7.

I work as an QS on new build projects like these. To be honest I would never buy a new built house. This is because I am involved in the process of procuring material and subcontractors to actually build these houses. FYI these larger companies who are the developers don't actually build anything, as everything is subcontracted. 9/10 of these projects are based on cost/quality so the main contractor doesn't care about the end user (person buying the house) as it's meant to be built cheaply for max profit. I would say definitely do a detailed snagging or defect list and ALWAYS ask for warranty/guarantee paper work before or on the handover date. Alot of these companies give collateral warranties which protect the vendor if the main contractor goes bump. Don't ever be afraid to ask questions or for additional work!

Best of luck getting the re rendering done, they won’t want to do that again This bloody stuff is used everywhere these days as it’s a cheaper build option but it looks a horrendous after a few years I would definitely not stay more than 5 years

Exactly that, it'll be convered top to bottom in a horrible moss type green stain.

@liveloud9894 3 года назад

@@Luckytrowel12 They’ve been building loads of developments for years here where I live full of homes just like this one in the video The older properties 10 years old or so the rendering looks a right mess now , mouldy , green and black staining , cracking with chunks dropping off And after that time there’s no comeback on anyone I had a new build 20 odd years ago and that was bad enough then , I wouldn’t touch one with a barge pole now I’ll stick with my 1930’s home built to last ,solid as a rock

@andywarrington4738 3 года назад

the quality has gone now in new builds , as a sparky who has seen the change over the past 20 years , it is all about maximum profit now and not quality , most of the work is done as cheaply as possible yet the prices of properties are rising a lot , this is the price of a greed society , enjoy

I'm an electrician and me and a couple who I do property development for went to look at some new builds ranging from £550,000 to nearly a million wow they were not that good and a lot of what we looked at in the show homes were extras as well. Downlights not in line pissed and loose switches and sockets, over £600,000 and not even an rcbo board no spd, no downlights as they are are extra can understand on a cheper house but at over £600,000 it's a joke, soft close toilet extra toilet roll holder extra wtf. Some of the woodwork was bad, and bad painting and that was just a quick look with no level to check things. Some of the wiring for the boiler was total garbage as well, I do not understand how these big companies get away with it I am not saying I am perfect but the houses we have done are much better than most of these new builds. They build them in record times for as cheap as possible and make a shit ton of money it's a joke. One of the people talking to us about the prices and stuff said a lot of people spend between £20,00-£40,000 in extras, no way all the wiring, plumbing and building is done to code at the speed they work at, would love to do a week on new builds just to see what goes on lol.

I made the mistake once of buying a new build from one of the well known house builders, The quality of the materials and workmanship is cheap and poor. I sold my new build house after 9 years for 20k less than i paid for it. Luckily I purchased an old run down Georgian house for 300k spent 3 years doing it up myself and sold it for 650k.

@ThisIsMe783 3 года назад

My guess would be the bathroom radiator would be in dispute just because I’d imagine that would be the most expensive for them to fix or they may try to argue it was setup the same way in your tour of the model home and use that to get out of fixing it. Hopefully they do the right thing and fix all of the issues for your guys though!

@charleybickham7136 3 года назад

TW homes have so many problems! We had a new build from them a few years ago and it was just ongoing, lots of window scratches, issues with water pipes and radiators, lights not fitted properly and many problems with things not being put in straight! Hope you get them all sorted :) fingers crossed!!

@MattBrighton 3 года назад

The quality of the big housebuilders is really bad. Rushed builders, tight timelines and poor quality materials. Definitely recommend to anyone with defects to get them raised ASAP.

@dalewarren6271 3 года назад

I foresee a massive problem with housing stock in the future (40/50years) of poorly built properties with the most inferior cheapest products available. You shouldn’t get snags like that, basic things like windows not properly closing is ridiculous and inexcusable. Poor workmanship or poor products?

@si0054 3 года назад

I’m 14 years in to a new build. It won’t be that long believe me, whole street has problems. Plumbing failures from tanks being fitted the wrong way round for example. So stuff that’s managing to work ok, but catastrophic failure when it occurs, that’s not just one house either. When we call plumbers they ask us if it was installed by someone qualified as it meets non of the regs

As a UK builder myself, I have worked at these massive sites and the workmanship is beyond a joke. If you want quality you need to renovate over buying these "new homes". If you want a decent home, pay for it in time and money. The best work is always time consuming but it is done without the need for being rushed. You want cheap and fast, go to mcdonalds! Haha!

its crazy to think somebody actually gets paid to snag these new builds, sorry to see you guys have had these issues after paying what was I am sure a huge sum of money its not what you expect ! question with your bathroom upstairs, I only pick up on this because I have the very same issue in my new build, your shower screen that is suppose to be able to swing open is stoped by the sink being in the way ( makes it aquard getting to the taps,) dont you think the toilet and sink should be the other way around ?
