I have a deposit down on a David Wilson Home. So far I’ve been far from impressed with them as a business.
They’ve outright lied to me about a major issue, which it was very easy for me to verify, and were even happy to put it in writing. They told me an area of grassland next to the development would be landscaped and left as green land when there's a planning app in place for student accommodation (visible online for last 2 years).
Anyway, the property I’m looking to buy, other than obvious snagging issues, may have an issue with the mortar. There's white patches of salt across the walls, which I know shouldn’t be an issue, however the mortar seems to crumble away where the white patches are.
A builder friend has told me to walk, however I need somewhere to live and haven't many options.
Would a full level 3 survey be able to rubber stamp the quality of brickwork?
What other options do I have to de risk this purchase?
