Moving into a brand-new home is exciting.
Spotting damage and defects after you've unpacked everything? Not so much.
Over the years, we've seen the same snagging issues crop up time and time again in new-build properties. The five most common for our trade are:
• Internal doors
• uPVC window frames
• Brick repairs
• Front doors and thresholds
• Kitchen cupboards
The frustrating part is that many homeowners assume damaged items need replacing. In reality, a professional repair can often restore them to a high standard without the mess, cost, or waiting time that comes with replacement.
Knowing what to look for can help you identify issues early and make sure they're addressed before they become a bigger annoyance.
Which of these would bother you the most?
