Taylor Wimpey North Yorkshire

Problems, poor quality and painful aftercare. On receiving our keys, the sales agent told me shed spotted numerous issues herself, which had my back up straight away. I didnt have to look far as the front door had dried screed splattered across the front of it. Cosmetic Issues.. - Screed up the walls, in the sink and the kitchen worktop. - Blue stains (possibly floor primer) on the skirting boards and the PVC doors. - Gloss looked like itd been applied by emptying a bucket on the woodwork, also not cleaned before glossing so it was bumpy - had to sand ALL of the woodwork and repaint it was that bad. - Sink had been used for cleaning tools and not cleaned after. - Door handles scratched, some with paint/possibly silicone on them - had to replace all these at my own cost. - Paint on the washing machine, floor tiles, wall tiles, the toilet, light bulbs. Larger Issues.. - Leak in the ceiling, boiler pressure indicated a leak which should have been picked up on checks. - Front door lock flimsy and after 8 months were now locked IN the house, locking mechanism has completely failed. 4 days in, Taylor Wimpey still unable to get someone to fix it. - Boiler/thermostats not working, stuck on call for heat - very costly. - Patio doors are shocking, lopsided, silicone is all over, writing on the doors, just terrible. Lock doesnt work well on this either. - Gaping hole left in the kitchen wall. - Plinths were actually IN the screen.. ended up fitting them myself. - Units were water damaged from repair work took roughly 3 weeks to get them sorted, various issues like not actually booking in the job, parts coming damaged etc. - Paid for the most expensive kitchen option, the quality is poor. Vinyl on the shelves are coming apart already from mild use. - Sink overflow not fitted properly, ended up with a leak and new floor covered in water. - Toilet poorly fitted, flush moves around, will come off eventually, seat is loose. To summarise - bad experience, luckily I can do a lot of work myself, but it has cost me a lot of time, holidays and money to get the house usable. I have had several people admit it should NOT have been handed over in this state, clearly they were all rushed, but thats not my problem or cost to bear.
