Morris Homes Should be Ashamed.

This was a Morris Homes site in Bromborough, the house looked and felt rushed the decoration in particular was poor.

I feel so sorry for the new owners of this property.

[@Subcomandante73]

When will they scrap the NHBC and create a proper watchdog with teeth?

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

The sooner the better for me along with the LABC and Premier Guarantee they are a complete waste of time.

Spot on!!

[@tommcloughlin1347]

Do you ever post the inspections that showcase good workmanship?

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

@@tommcloughlin1347 Hi Tom, yes, I post videos of good workmanship have a look at the first of April video this is really good.

[@jimrichards3916]

As a retired painter I can tell you everything starts with the footings or slab. If they are out the brickie's have to put it right ( or not! ) so they are pissed off. Poor bricklaying makes the plasterers work harder than it should be so they are pissed off. Poor bricklaying/Plastering pisses the Carpenters off ( Why should I have to put things right! ) Let's all leave it for the poor Painter. He'll put all the poor workmanship right. The poor guy doesn't get paid enough to hide everyone else's poor work, and he ends up pissed off. You can't blame all the finishing on the poor painter. Having said that, I can't believe a painter did this house. I think the fencing contractor did the painting!!!!!!!!

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

I don't disagree with what you are saying, it should not be up to the decorator to cover poor workmanship, on the other hand, poor decorating is poor decorating and you can't hide it.

Guess this is why the first foundation stone of any building has to be on the level...

Not seeing a double check valve after the main stopcock.

[@Gary-iy4oh]

Why is someone getting keys for this home without even looking around it first!!!

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

Hi Gary, This is something which needs to change, if you bought a car in this condition you would not take it out of the showroom.

[@neillwalker5681]

I am interested to know, following your excellent snagging reports do the builders actually do the remedial works you list? Do you ever get the chance to go back and inspect the works?

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

Hi Neil, we don't often get the opportunity to go back and reinspect, some builders and site managers are very good at doing the snags we find I would say the majority of snags in the report get completed as we do not inflate our reports with issues we know the builder will not fix. What would be good is if the builders engaged in conversation with professional snaggers following the report, that way we can discuss our findings and reasons for highlighting them.

[@neillwalker5681]

@@LivelyProfessionalServices Thanks. It would make a good video if you could show the before and after sometime.

[@chrisardern4594]

@@LivelyProfessionalServices your comment about builders conversing with professional snaggers would probably go like this Well we know it not good enough and we could do better but we cant be bothered. I know im a bit cynical here but thats how is seems to be these days.

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

@@chrisardern4594 Chris, you are probably right, that will almost certainly be the response.

If I had bought this property I would WEEP! Moving into a new property should be a happy and exciting experience. Just watching this channel puts me off the idea. Just that my wife keeps saying "I told you so!"

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

Don't be put off not all new build houses are bad, they all have snags but some are more minor than others, it all depends on the quality of the site manager and trades building them.

[@richardgiles2484]

Really good that you name the developer and shocked it was signed off the NHBC. I feel sorry for new home buyers as they probably think this is normal. Also much better work buy DIY friends. My apprenticeship was five years and not Ten weeks in a classroom with teachers that know no better 🙄

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

Hi Richard, my apprenticeship was the same as yours, we would not dare leave work like this, trades today do not bother and do not care.

[@David-bl1bt]

The failure rate of candidates on these 10 week "get a certificate and become an instant professional tradesman" courses is virtually, if no, zero. The reason being that the salary and job security of the teachers is wholly dependent upon full classes with a high pass rate. In the good old days when you were in a company apprenticeship, typically for 3 to 5 years, if you didn't meet the required company standards you didn't get the job at the end of your apprenticeship...assuming of course you managed to be good enough to run the full term. so little wonder that the college's churn out these gleeful certificate holders who think they are the bees knees. They should be issued with a Stetson and spurs, not a certificate.

[@gobiner1960]

Glad you Named and Shamed them Ian the poor owners will no doubt have borrowed money for their new home how disappointed must they be.what Cowboys we have these days building our future.

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

The future is grim looking at some of the houses I see. The housebuilding industry is broken, and new house buyers don't have a leg to stand on once they have purchased their newly built home. Housing developers are getting away with the biggest con in the country and innocent people are paying for their greed and unscrupulous ways. The government needs to step in and fully regulate the industry, disband the current warranty providers, and set up a government body to check and sign off new houses.

[@chrise4410]

Out of interest how long do these inspections take on average?

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

Anywhere upi to 5 hours depending on what we find.

[@PNH63]

@@LivelyProfessionalServices compared to the 5 seconds the builder takes to ok their criminal workmanship.

[@doric_historic]

Why are you not the MP for Decent Housing via the Decent Housing (Get Your Act Together) Act 2022?

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

Trust me that is not a good idea I would sack the lot of them, shysters, thieves, and vagabonds the lot of them.

[@doric_historic]

Great idea, although democracy has set in stone that most would be against your ideas of presenting a near perfect new house to hard working folks who probably took out a mortgage and have mostly paid for silicone and expanding foam.

[@colintawn3535]

It should be legislated that mortgage companies must see a full surveyors report on all homes before loans are granted. The borrower should not have to pay for the report, builders and mortgage companies make enough profits to absorb the costs.

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

I would agree, however, this is not going to happen, it all boils down to money and Proffitt for these companies, no one is interested in the end-user the new build house buyer who has to accept the poor standards of newly built houses.

[@Chanesmyname]

Imagine if that was what you got for all the money you had paid, what a total disgrace and how disrespectful to the customer is it to expect them to be happy with that!

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

There is no other industry that expects its customers to accept a substandard product, what is disgraceful is new house buyers are tied into the contract as they are not able to back out, and the whole house building industry needs a shake up.

[@pureblood1978x]

Nasty windows in that one!

[@joannebroughton1158]

I brought a Morris home and had a few minor snags but nothing like this ,all to do with the site team I think ,opposite me are Tilia homes and they have had endless problems and a team that doesn’t care ,good and bad sites for all developers it seems

[@LivelyProfessionalServices]

Absolutely, it all depends on the site team and how good they are, we have the same problems with Tilia in the northwest as with all other developers you do get good and bad sites.
