From the point of purchasing a new build property we have had to endure many problems including stress and worry.
Despite being given a completion date, we were delayed entry for a week due to the property not being ready. We had to find alternative accommodation at our cost.
Over a period of 6 months we have had to endure snagging visits for 50+ items.
There were repeat visits for a number of these items.
We had no hot water for 2 weeks over Christmas.
The major items which have still to be fixed are draughty and leaking windows and sloping floor throughout. The sloping floors are 4 times the NHBC guidelines, in places.
We are awaiting confirmation concerning the rectification of the sloping floors. We anticipate that we will require to be re-housed by the builder for approximately 2 months in order for the work to be completed. Our furniture will also require to be moved and stored for that period.
We paid for a private survey and structural engineers report.
Given that our lives have been continuously disrupted and will have been put on hold for about 10-11 months before everything is dealt with, what should we think of claiming by way of compensation for the foregoing?
