More snag photos
Below the fold are three more photos from yesterday’s snagging inspection.
And to quote from the previous entry:
Keep in mind when you look at these that Crest Nicholson had told me that they’d completed all their snagging, and that as far as they were concerned the house was ready.
Enjoy.
We’ll start with this honking big gap between some of the units in the kitchen and the kickboard at the bottom.
The mastic/filler next to it isn’t too great either. While we’re in the kitchen, here’s the edge of the granite work top. As mentioned in the previous entry, there’s paint along the edge that needs to be cleaned off.
Finally, moving outside but staying with the paint-where-it-shouldn’t-be motif, here’s a hinge that’s indicative of the care and attention with which the exterior has been painted.
I’ve got more photos of paint where it shouldn’t be (more hinges, handles, window glass, etc), but I’d hate to bore you.
None of these items from the snagging inspection (so far) have been major1, or are things that I wouldn’t have noticed myself. But given the amount of money that’s being spent on this purchase you would expect a little more care and attention to detail.
Wouldn’t you?
1 A couple of them might be, but rather than talk them up here I’m going to wait for the formal report first.

Hi Nik,
I hope this is all in the distant past now and you are happy in your home. It seems others have had similar experiences more recently (See Shoddy Home Saga at http://www.crestnicholson.org) and it took a lot of effort and publicity to get Crest Nicholson to take remedial action!
