Firstly, I had never bought a new home until recently, I had always bought resale and done them them up! but due to injuries sustained by car accident I am no longer able to do this. So last year I bought dare I say it, a Crest Nicholson Home. Frankly I wish I could turn the clocks back as I have never seen such (words are unprintable)....
We were mis-sold the property being told what it will have (or have not is the case) and on moving in realised that the snagging list is longer than the contract.
There are some 287 items which have been raised and after 5 months only 25 of them have been looked at.
The NHBC is worthless as their standards are conflicting and do not match building regulation. They are only addressing the decor not the structure as they say it is not in their remit. I am now left with taking legal action against crest for mis-selling, breach of contract and extremely poor workmanship and failure to address structural issues under HSE.
So please for the love of God DO NOT BUY A CREST NICHOLSON HOME. You will regret it.
