In hindsight...

It has been pointed out that perhaps some of my posts do not reflect enough of the positives of our build......I had always planned that the final post on this blog would contain what we are really pleased about with this house; but to be fair, maybe it's time that I did list a few! :-)

Those of you who have followed right from the beginning will remember that one of the reasons we decided to go with NBG was because of the reputation of the local builder in this area. His Lordship has been in Home Loan Lending for more than 10 years in this district and I deal with over 500 families every week at work- so between us we have heard a LOT of stories about various companies!

Every person we have ever spoken to about our builder has always said the same thing- he builds a good house! Now it is our turn to say the same!

We have had inclusions with our home that are extra costs in most others-eg: laminate backing on the kitchen benches & a TV antenna to name a couple-these are in addition to the package you get with NBG.

He has had to wear costs of items that are not his fault-eg: the linen cupboards were drawn incorrectly on the plan by the draughtsman, which has resulted in custom built cabinetry being provided- a win for us!

As I said in the last post, it is not mistakes and errors that stay with you- it is how they are dealt with and in our case the builder has ALWAYS ensured that our queries are dealt with satisfactorily.

As has been pointed out, blogging is a powerful tool these days ( and you need to be careful with your posts- I had listed the brick overhang with too many zeros....aaargh! Fixed to read 60mm instead of 600mm now!)-and I do wish this one to reflect that we are excited to be moving into the home being built for us!
