First time I've seen someone recommend to someone else a new build. Especially someone that's not actually lived in one yet!

I agree with shared ownership though. It's a good idea. It's not just on new biulds though :)

Initial impressions seem good, lets just hope I dont eat my words :(

True its not but is rare on second hand properties (well it is at least down here) lol

Cheers Rick , worth looking into the shared ownership schemes or something i think

Totally dude, ones down here cheapest was 95000 for brand new ground floor one bed apartment plus you only had to buy minimum of 25% (more you earn the more you have to buy) so its not that expensive IMO

Winds me right up.

No such thing as bad kids. Just bad patents. 11:30 is well out of order.

The kids still in a push chair i was being ambiguous when i said 4 , its just wrong.

Theyre of a different culture to myself (not wanting to bring racism anywhere near this Forum) so i don't know if thats the norm? Certainly isn't to me though.

Ah see it's the other way round where I am. Very few on new biulds but loads on the second hand market.

Hear, hear!

I love my new build. I don't love the developers who are longing out the defects process but I can listen to BLARING trance music and can't hear it once I step outside the front door, I don't have worries of new roof/re-wiring/new plumbing etc. No creaks/rattles/etc

Oh and shared ownership rocks. As long as you get decent neighbours, I've been bloody lucky, not sure everyone is as lucky!

Thanks to nice big thick concrete floors and top of the range sound insulation, I can only ever hear the guy above when he scrapes a chair across the floor every now and then lol. Used to have w****r neighbours when I lived at my mums. Used to do my head in!

Forget about it Jay, think of the bright side! All that money you'll save living with your mum :D

Just don't make it a habit and live there till your 54 years old :lol:

Your new build experience sounds good. Ours (and a couple of others I know) have been the complete opposite. We moved in to a new build when we first moved out. Shoddy building work, very thin walls, plumbing and electric issues. Whole thing was hell. We stayed there 6 months until our lease ran out then moved in to one of my parents propertys. We probably just got unlucky, but damn was that experience bad enough to put me off new builds in the future.

I've got a new build and can't fault it. Then again mine was built by a small local developer rather than the big guys so probably pay a bit more attention to detail.

Least it's all covered by defects. You can have just as many problems with period properties.

It's not been plan sailing AT ALL. Developers have been toss pots and I've had to take 6-7 days off work but I'm finally getting there!
