House Progress

Miracles do happen – DWH phone us back on Monday as promised. They have given us an estimated legal completion date of 30th Nov. They commented that they were a bit behind at the moment but were confident that they will be O.K for the end of the month. I popped down to the site today (4/11) and was surprised to see that they have cracked on a fair bit in a week. The kitchen is in, the boiler’s been fitted and radiators are going up. The walls have all received at least one coat of paint and the sparkies have also been fairly busy from what I can see through the windows. They have started turfing and generally tidying up around the property also.

All in all things look fairly promising at the moment.

  1. I see your blog dates back to 2006 and I am so happy that you have had good service from David Wilson Homes. However we have had APPALLING service from them since we (FINALLY) moved in on November 19 2007. Since then we have had the house virtually rebuilt from the inside out while living in it, recovering from major surgery and our daughter studying for her finals at university. Perhaps we are talking about a different David Wilson Homes???

  2. We are victims of DWH who I have found to have appauling aftercare or in fact any care of the legacy they leave behind when they leave a site. An added complication to our plight with this company is the fact that the house was 2 years old when we purchased it from the first owner. I am not surprised they moved out so soon. The house is like an ice box – later found to have much insulation missing – windows in back to front, door frames that have gaping wholes around them and extractor fans that blow cold air in when the wind blows. Sadly no one cares. The 10 year Zurich Policy covers zilch and Trading Standards say they cannot help as we were not the first purchasers. Beware to all those who buy a second-hand new build is what I say. You are NOT PROTECTED.
