Semi detached house failed sound test
« on: July 08, 2019, 02:00:41 pm »
We purchased a new build semi town house from Avant homes last year. The snagging list is ongoing and something I fully understand with any new build property, however there has also been some defects and 2 non compliances of building regulations (no insulation in dormer roofs/cheeks rectified).
We have suffered a year of listening to our neighbours telephone conversations and had to move to a different bedroom after being kept awake by snoring. Avant assured me the party wall was built as per spec and I drilled the wall to find that it was indeed insulated with rock wool between the blockwork. We eventually asked the builder to provide a sound test as we were going mad listening to neighbour 24/7. The sound test took place 8 weeks ago and Avant have refused to comment. I have sent a form requesting all information they have as part of GDPR and I'm awaiting the mountain of data to be sent.
I have found out (I won't reveal how) that the party wall failed the sound test and does not conform to the required standard.
Does anyone have any idea what my options are?
