Crash!

On another program I saw a few years back a woman had brought a basement flat. It had been newly done up by a "property developer" and sewage pipes were leaking into her home so she couldn't live in it.

I'll have you know that's an Organic Water Feature.

That should be an interesting insurance claim...

Assuming they’ve got a builder with insurance cover for this.

Imagine the endless legal fun if there were multiple contractors on-site (which isn't uncommon in such developments). Then there is the surveyor, the architect etc. They'll all have their own insurers who will be fighting like mad dogs to make sure they're not liable, and to make sure they can void the policy in some way if they are liable.

Each of the individual contractors probably did their job, but someone decided to knit it all together with Suity's BPM tool.

I think this is rather common. I have visited someone in an expensive basement flat and it was bubbling up in the kitchen sink.
