I write for House Beautiful Magazine and am doing a research on families who have had major problems since they bought their new build home, or who have renovated their properties with a builder who didn’t charge VAT who turned out to be a cowboy and didn’t do the job properly.

If you’re female, aged 35-60yrs old, match the above criteria are willing to tell your story to a national publication, please email me at sophie.hoyland@natmags.co.uk with a brief outline of your story along with a photo of yourself by Monday 12th May. If your story is used you must be willing to be photographed.

Our aim is to put the project back on track with the help of a leading building industry mediator free of charge. The series will address the common pit-falls that arise and promote good building practice.

Are you an unhappy builder who just wants to get the job done or a desperate client locked in a stand-off whilst living on a building site?

If so we’d like to hear from you
Call Fiona on 0207 907 0869 or email fiona.wilson@betty.co.uk

We are putting together a guide to finding and working with builders, the definitive guide on how to tackle issues including:

• Drawing up contracts
• Staying on schedule
• Avoiding rip-offs
• Finishing on time

If you’ve been involved in your own Grand Design-style building project and want to share your experiences with builders, good or bad, we want to hear from you today. Please call or email:

Have you had a disaster with your dream home? We are keen to hear from people who have fallen out of love with their dream new home; perhaps it was because of a catalogue of small building problems, or maybe you’ve had significant structural problems. Have you decided enough is enough and want to move out? Maybe you already have.

We would like to hear from you for a new television series about dream homes turning into nightmares.

Please contact melissamayne@tigeraspect.co.uk

Video evidence is vital to our cause – camcorder, CCTV, emergency services footage; the more primary evidence the better.

If you can think you’ve got a good story to tell us please get in touch with me.
