Shocking state of some new build homes in the region

Moving house can be one of the most stressful things you can do and now there seems to be even more anxiety attached to buying a newly built house.

The demand for more housing has seen developments shoot up across the region and according to some is a reason for an increase in shoddy work.

However, getting things fixed is, in some cases, proving harder than it should

When Justin Revell moved into his dream home in Costessey on the edge of Norwich three years ago he had no idea of the problems that lay ahead

His new home had 300 faults in it - they've had to move out twice and it's still not fully fixed.

Taylor Wimpey told us that they are fully committed to delivering homes of the highest quality and service.

While acknowledging there have been problems they claim all necessary works have now been completed in line with building regulations

Another home builder, Persimmon, recently announced plans for what's described as a snagging retention fee of 1.5%

The HomeOwners' Alliance consumer group wants 2.5% of the purchase price to be held back until any faults are fixed.
