Snagging and defects / Re: Developer refusing to fix snags after I waited for two years (£800k house)

One of my biggest struggles is I can't find a Surveyor who is actually familiar with 'microcracking' in new builds to write a sensible report - any recommendations are very welcome!!!
My suggestions are check your contract - was it a design and build is there a quality clause in there? If you have house insurance you may have legal protection insurance on it or pay for a solicitor to check it over for you. Just be careful if they are finishing the development they are not going to wind up the company.
Who is your Structural Warranty with? Have a check of the wording and see if it is covered if it is NHBC it may have a design and quality clause. If it like ours and a small company it is not worth the paper it is written on.....
