Title: Defect Left On Completed Linden Homes Development
Post by: New Home Expert on November 11, 2015, 09:10:21 am
This shows just how little those on site and the warranty inspectors actually care about the finished quality of UK new homes.

I took this photograph on my way to Chichester railway station on 9 November 2015.
As far as I can recall this development was completed at least two years ago.
This large gap under the window to a communal staircase (so no flat owners are directly affected.)
The gap is 'filled with a piece of bitumen impregnated foam sheet, presumably to prevent bats, birds and insect infestation in the cavities! The same Linden Homes Development was  reviewed on this forum (http://forum.brand-newhomes.co.uk/development-reviews/are-linden's-new-homes-too-expensive/) on 30 January 2012.
