You're been spending too much time in Liverpool, I suggest you immediately boycott Goodison and spend some time at the Reebok, just for recuperation purposes

If its a new build - then surely it will be painted in Magnolia throughout...... which any good decorator and Henrilloyd will tell you is very popular anyway..... so no need to decorate. As for carpets, flooring, etc - surely you can negotiate that the house builder fits this before you move in?

 

Failing all of that - DIY. Tin of Magnolia, roller, some cloths, white spirit, couple of cheap brushes from B&Q....... you've cracked it.

In todays climate, ring the builder up, tell him you want carpets or you will cancel.

 

Gauranteed if you hold your nerve.

Get some flooring off Casual 1690 :good:

I dont understand why people buy new build. Don't you normally get less for your money and they are made out of plasterboard.

 

Where you moving to Pabbers?

Its actually Koon House, but yes.

 

They are 150-170k aren't they?

 

There are some nice houses for that price range

 

 

They are nice, looked at a couple up near Tempest United Football Club, but smaller than these, and for 10k more!!

They are 150-170k aren't they?

 

Advertised price perhaps.

 

If Pablo's had any sense he should have negotiated builders cashback min 10%.

 

As others have said, buyers market at the minute.

They are not from the builders, but from company that purchased them off the builders, Plumlife .

Plumlife is a Housing Association which purchased the prop in line with affordable housing guidelines set by the Government, So No Carpets are included, and no room for negotiation.

 

The house is under ?150 k, so I dont think Stamp duty is paid.

 

Ground rent is ?50 a year.

 

NO hidden costs, after the ?500 holding fee, no other charges!

seriously pablo

 

affordable housing

 

you'll end up living next to somebody like you

 

surely you can't want that
