Don't get me started. Went to view a couple of new builds and they were just obscene!
Most ridiculous things I've seen were:
- house with 2 bathrooms, main one plus en-suite. The main bathroom had a bath tub but NO shower head.
- same house, the living room had 2 radiators EXACTLY in the middle of the 2 main walls.
- single garage where the owners could not fit their car (vw polo)
Went to view an end of terrace built in the 1930's and it felt like a castle compared to the new builds. Big rooms, walls made of bricks rather than wood and plasterboard, big garden, reasonably big garage. Came with a problem though, which was the dealbreaker: the mid-terraced house had right of way through the garden. Don't want that in my property.Comment

I loved my 1930s semi a few years back. Mind you the garage was built for a small 1930s car.Originally posted by PCTNN View PostDon't get me started. Went to view a couple of new builds and they were just obscene!

One would have thought that with house pricing going up and up that would result in higher quality, bigger builds.
Not in this country.Comment
