However, they ended up not being able to move in until after Christmas, only to find that none of the promised work had been done, Doug claims. He told MailOnline: "It was the hope it would it would be the dream house but it has not turned out like that at all. "I was looking for a property like any home buyer and this one popped up. "They still did not fix any of it. I would not call it a repair because the house was always in this condition since day one. "It is like getting a TV from Argos, opening it at home and finding the screen is cracked.' The total cost of fixing the faults is £2,000, plus the labour costs." The money will go towards rectifying the 33 faults identified by his surveyor, including building waste dumped in the garden, a garden fence with nails hammered into the top of it and broken central heating. The last of those has left the house "freezing" over the winter, according to Doug. He fumed: "Over the last winter we had temperatures of -10C. "All of us had to move out of the brand new house for several weeks over the winter and stay with relatives. "I am not pleased. It is hard enough with the cost of living crisis." The National House Building Council produced a report on his case last March, ordering repairs to be carried out by that April, but Doug alleges the work has still not been done. He claims that builders have no-showed a whopping thirteen times, with no help on the horizon. Barret Deve){kind=link}
