Plot 8 - Tootle Green - Please feel free to come and knock on our door, my experience has been horrendous but I will only offer my experience backed up with photos.Some Advice1. DO NOT use Taylor Wimpeys Solicitors.2. Arrange a professional snagging company to check the house, request this is done before completion when Taylor Wimpey refuse ask "what do they have to hide?"3. The Sales office will tell you our problems are minor and have all been resolved, this will be the first lie they tell you.4. The average plot holding (across the UK) for Taylor Wimpey is 30k ask why all prices have gone up on this site by 10k due to freehold5. Save your money on the options, you will get a better product and finish if you do it after you move in.6. The site manager is a professional plumber by trade, he is responsible for building your house. Bang on a few doors and ask how many plumbing issues the houses have had.... then ask what hope does the rest of your home have7. The houses are thrown together by sub contract labour using cheap materials. Google unhappy Taylor Wimpey customers . Google Micro cracking8. The NHBC are a third party warranty company paid for by the builder who gets rebated should they not have to pay out on claims. Google it9. The NHBC 4 star rating is based on a single question from an 8 week survey, which does not state its importance. Even with that Taylor Wimpeys % has dropped every year for 5 years they are dangerously close to 3 stars.10. HAGGLE, Taylor Wimpey made over 600m in profit last year there half year report is predicting even bigger profits this year.I will never buy a Taylor Wimpey house again, over 200 issues, 4 water leaks one resulting in our main bedroom carpet needing shampooing (it was 10 weeks old), 3 windows refitted, entire new front door and frame, entire front string set put in wrong, drains not fixed, air bricks under soil, floors not level, ceilings / floor and wall out of tolerance, 10 weeks before the kitchen was complete, no flooring downstairs for the first 4 weeks, complete re-decoration, dust and dirt everywhere, the gardens and landscaped ares are paddling pools apart from June, and in spring I have to leave the house for 2 weeks while they re-render....... I've lived in this house 14 weeks..... Every week has made my wife cry.... good luck!
