Stress Free Bryant Homes

With our third child due in September, January was the ideal time to think about buying a new home.

What does the NHBC say about ‘Snagging Companies’

Which? interviewed Imtiaz Farookhi in August 2006 and one of the things he talked about was snagging companies. Although it was more like an ill-informed attack on the business model, rather than a well balanced discussion.

Inconsiderate Persimmon Homes

I am currently living next door to a Persimmon Homes site called Tagwood View in  Ramsbottom, Bolton)  and wish to complain about the state of the site throughout the working day and later on in the evening.
