Bovis and its houses of so many horrors

Look before you leap into a new-build

The Times has recently been leading on challenges for purchasers of new buildĀ  properties who find copious defects after moving in. The Times lists defects such as windows not installed, holes in roofs and ceilings and workmen still in the house. With financial pressures, several builders such as Bovis pressurise purchasers into completing without snags being completed. Its fine to look for certificates, but in the rush to complete, these are of little help to purchasers who often spend months negotiating defects once they are in the house.

Here at Chiltern Associates we can provide the easy answer. Our snagging list format will cover all those defects that might be there and can also talk directly to builders asking about likely progress on site. Most importantly we can provide that support that you might need at this crucial time. The snagging list is a detailed comprehensive list , on a room by room basis, of all those snags that come up such as decorations not finished, windows not finished, poor condition of screed floors, poor jointing on timberwork and even blocked drains

Just ask for Snagging List via our enquiry form and we can help you.

Thank you again for doing the survey and also for the time you’ve spent talking me through the results. – Comments from a client who was looking to buy a listed house in some considerable disrepair
Nina completed two separate homebuyers reports for us and they were both very detailed and informative. The service was prompt and efficient, we are very pleased with our surveys. Thank you Nina.

Many thanks for your very efficient and timely reply to all communications. I particularly appreciated your advice on partitioning to create a new bedroom and the building regulation consents. A very comprehensive report/photos and your close attention to detail is much appreciated Thanks and best regards Bill
Surveyor was prompt, communicative and efficient. Work was to agreed timetable allowing Completion in 22 days all up and also good value – especially as it enabled me to improve on the sale price. Very happy.

Dear Nina, I can advise that yes the report was very easy to read and as such this made it quick to go through the list and appoint to different contractors so thank you again.
I just wanted to write a quick note to say a big thank you for your work on the property. I was very impressed with the professional, prompt report you sent through and therefore I would be happy to act as a reference for you in the future. I think it is increasingly difficult to know who to trust when shopping for anything on the internet, and I was delighted with your work at a reasonable price. Read more

Hi Nina, Just to say thank you very much for the prompt and comprehensive survey you carried out for me. Hard copy received and awaiting a damp specialist to ring me with a quote.
Anyway, thank you again for the very helpful discussion. It was invaluable.
Thank you so much for this, along with all your hard work and quick responses to our request for a homebuyer report you have made this process as less stressful as possible for myself and my parents, which I thank you greatly for.
We received your report last night. A very good job, many thanks
