Hello,
I am hoping to get people's thoughts on this.
I am purchasing a new build in a development in the midlands and the house in being build off plans. All good and I am happy with specs etc.
My solicitor mentioned that I should consider getting my own engineer to inspect the house a few times during the build and then obviously the snag at the end. For example, checking work at foundations, half way and then near completion. He said for piece of mind and that the builders only use their own engineer.
Is this the done thing? The house is part of a new development with some houses already built where people seem happy.
