A house is never going to be perfect as it is not a machined product and teething troubles are, in most cases a part of the process. It is how they are dealt with that is of importance.

Houses are built in all weather conditions and have water added to mortar, plaster, paint etc. The water has to evaporate and this can cause shirinkage of door linings, cracking on stairs etc, etc.

Lots of new build houses are of good quality and have a great deal of love built in. So please do not let the doubters put you off! Meet the manager and ask to look around some finished houses.

Of all the people to decide if you should buy a new house off a certain developer, there is no better judge than you!!!
