Inside £700,000 new-build home left unfinished with fake vents and broken bricks
BOTCHED building work riddling a £700,000 new-build has been exposed.
Fake vents, cracked bathroom tiles and broken bricks are among the raft of ugly surprises hidden inside the shambolic new home.
Elsewhere, doors haven’t been finished.
They boast ill-fitting strike plates, shocking routing and missing handles.
Exposed wires hide behind kitchen cabinets and the concrete foundations have divots peppering it.
Under the sink, a spaghetti of pipes appear to be rammed through a smashed up plaster board with rubble littering the cupboard floor.
Stepping outside, trashy skirting on the patio doors appears totally unfinished in a garden that doesn’t have any grass.
While a mismatch of bricks on the garden wall leave it unlevelled and bumpy.
The walls also appear to be lacking any pointing, which is when builders clean up the cement by smoothing it out.
Garden decking appears to sink into the soil as well, as a spirit level held up by a stack of Galaxy chocolate digestives show how off kilter the it is.
The Scottish property’s faults were exposed in a snagging inspection and posted to video sharing app TikTok.
It has been viewed over 530,000 times on the New Home Quality Control page.
Snagging inspections usually take place in the period between construction and moving in.
It is unlikely therefore that anyone was living in the faulty home.
It comes as furious homeowners are unable to sell their newbuild homes because they’ve been built on potentially contaminated land.
Meanwhile the Cook family splashed out £345,000 on their newbuild home – only for it to turn into a living nightmare.
