Haven't noticed anything but haven't really been looking outside either to be honest. Where about's in the estate are they parking? I would definitely mention at the security hut on the way in as they should be patrolling the estate....particularly if they are around the unsold/unfinished units.
We ended up leaving the skirting boards on - if you are taking this approach I would recommend buying natural wood beading and painting white yourself or else buying pre-painted beading rather than the generic white covered lengths you see in most shops. This has a plastic-y white covering on it...
I just noticed on the HP website that the site plan has a new type of house included "The Osborne" but there's no floor plan included anywhere. Haven't been in the sales office in a while - anyone any idea what these are like i.e. bigger / smaller than a swift or lavery or what the asking price...
