Dottir and her husband have been in the process of buying a new build house in a nice part of the county, on a new estate of over 100 new houses. They got one of the last ones. About 2 weeks ago they had their first viewing, with the brick shell finished and the roof on, with internal works underway. They took a load of photos. On which they queried why the brickwork was so messy with horrendous mortar snots and smears everywhere. And it transpired, the well known builder had built the final four or five properties on the development with the wrong facing bricks. The ones with the right bricks look terrific, but these few look horrendous. Anyway, long story shortened, they have wisely decided to reject the house (after the builder fessed up and admitted their mistakes). A wise decision as when I checked up, the build now falls outside the planning consents
