Hi Everyone
I came across this forum a couple of months ago, having reserved a Taylor Wimpey apartment back in February and hopefully completing next month.
It is rather an unusual build in that it is a conversion of an existing ten year old building that used to be used as their sales office and conference suite (block built you will be glad to know, and I have already tested the soundproofing with my new downstairs neighbour by stomping around and shouting lol - pretty good!), which has caused them no END of problems to convert
It has been an interesting journey - not without delays. joined really to look for information on snagging, as although I have already picked up on issues during frequent site visits, that will be the next big process for me.
Just as an amusing anecdote, although I didn't use their brokers (oh buy did they try!), I did use one of their recommended conveyancing firms (I KNOW, but I didn't know at the time). HOWEVER, it was a new firm they had recently started recommending and they actually didn't give them an easy ride. Particularly when the sales office asked me to exchange, even with queries outstanding, because, I quote,
"It's half year on Friday". Conveyancer was having none of it. It actually took five months to exchange from point of reservation. And then the sales office said
"I don't think we'll be recommending them again....".So it doesn't always work in their favour - hope that gave you a chuckle on a Monday morning
