Snagging Stories
An angry homeowner is flying a ten-foot banner from his new-build house warning buyers off after claiming he has waited for repairs for three years.
Paul Willey, 31, has put up the massive notice on the front of his £280,000 Wimpey home after getting fed up with waiting for them to fix faults with the property.
The banner, outside his home in Colchester, Essex, reads: 'Don't buy from George Wimpey. 3 years and still not finished. They just want your cash.'

Entrepreneurs Rennie and Sheralee Bottali's long-running wrangles with housebuilder Bovis Homes over the luxury three-storey property have attracted almost 100,000 hits since they set up the site March.
The couple say they resorted to creating the page - www.whybovishomes.co.uk - after what they allege is a catalogue of botched jobs, poor workmanship and unfinished building work.
They have also erected a 10-yard-long banner outside the house in Cambourne, Cambs.
