Thanks a million Seagull, that's a good insight. I'll make a note of those kinds of things when the time comes. Would it be worth getting some kind of surveyor or building specialist to give it a quick once over as regards standards and finishes etc...? To be honest, if something wasn't completely obvious, I'm not sure that I'd spot it.Seagull said:We didn't have any major problems. The biggest issue was the fact that they'd left the hot press unpainted. That took some doing, with them arguing that that was the standard finish for it, until I pointed out that it was painted in all the show houses. Check that the taps don't leak, and that they have been fixed tightly enough that they don't move when you turn them on or off. Check that your sink and bath plugs are present, and have their chains. Also check around to make sure the place has been reasonably cleaned. We found old tea bags and all sorts of other rubbish under the kitchen cupboards. I know they've changed theor cleaners, but I don't know how good the new lot are.
There may well be a suggestion that you sign off on the list with the outstanding snags to be done. I would suggest that if you can, you only sign off once all the major snags are completed.

Where have you bought in LV?
Myself and my girlfriend have been told to expect the snag in the next 3/4 weeks so curious if we might be neighbours!
We're in Wendy Walsh Close.... very similar situation to yourself, trying to sort out applicances, flooring etc at the moment. V nerve wrecking!
Good luck with it anyway!
