<\/p>\nA PROPERTY inspector has highlighted the shocking state of a newbuild – filming as its electric car charger falls off the wall. <\/p>\n
The man took to TikTok to share the condition of what was said to be a completed newbuild, which he dubbed "shameful". <\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
The inspector, who works for KB Inspections, said a customer had paid \u00a3100,000s for the new home – and he couldn't believe the state of it. <\/p>\n
In the clip the man jokingly reenacted what would have happened when the new homeowner was handed the keys. <\/p>\n
He points out the patchy grass, broken meter box, detached electric car charger and broken gate. <\/p>\n
Walking from the front garden, along the side of the house, and to the back yard, the man says: "OK sir, so don't worry about your landscaping and plot works here, that'll be finished as soon as we can.<\/p>\n
"Here's your meter box here sir – yeah we'll get that door fixed for you there sir, don't worry about that. <\/p>\n "Here's your car charger here look – oops there you go, don't worry about that, we'll get that fixed for you. <\/p>\n "Come and have a look in your garden. Don't worry about that gate not opening sir, we'll get that sorted for you." <\/p>\n The inspector finishes by saying: "There you go – there's your new home you've paid 100s of thousands of pounds for and that's the first impression you're getting." <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It's sadly not uncommon for newbuilds to not be handed over in the best condition. <\/p>\n The Sun recently spoke to people living in what's been dubbed the country's newbuild capital. <\/p>\n There, residents revealed they'd paid \u00a3275,000 for their homes, but their ceilings leaked and their gardens were in a total state. <\/p>\n Others said their walls wobbled and the estate is still far from finished. <\/p>\n Elsewhere, people said they can't sleep and hadn't been able to open their windows for a year. <\/p>\n All new build homes come with some form of warranty.<\/p>\n Most often, this is a builder warranty of around 10 years, against structural issues, and a shorter developer warranty against issues with fixtures and fittings.<\/p>\n Registered builders are bound by a Consumer Code, which sets out quality standards.<\/p>\n If the house is not complete at the time it was promised, the customer can cancel the purchase, with a full refund of any deposit or reservation fee.<\/p>\n Complaints can be resolved privately with builders\/developers in the first instance.<\/p>\n However, if you are not satisfied, there is an independent dispute scheme that can be used within the first three months of receiving the final response to the complaint from the builders.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/newspress-collage-24266214-1696495025434.jpg\")
