Very many.
I reserved (off plan) a home of David Wilson Homes last May (07) with a view to moving in in Dec (07). I finally moved in this May (08). Right from the start I found DW were not easy to deal with. I had 20 minutes to choose all my flooring, carpets and tiles for the entire property. I had to pay up front for everything, including a partition wall that I didn't want put in! Yes paying them not to do something, apparently this is the norm. The communication between myself and DW sales up to completion was simply poor, I just couldn't get anyone to return my calls. However, when I wrote to the MD copying in the Chief Exec I got a call. I could go on and on but it would be boring. Basically i bought a luxury apartment in a 'flagship' development in a city centre but there is nothing luxury about it. Which is a shame given that I paid so much. The bathrooms are the standard type with sanitary ware that could be bought in any DIY shop, complete with plastic bath panel, cheap plastic toilet seat and a black rubber plug! No fitted cupboards or anything (the launch brochure, which is all I had to go on at the time, showed a very modern bathroom complete with furniture). The kitchen is the same. The workmanship is fairly sloppy (i.e. lumps of grout on the tiles that i still can't get off, uneven tiling) some snags have been worked through but I still have quite a long list to be completed and I have been in two months. I feel they have cut corners. I am on my 3rd site manager since May so it has been hard to build a rapport with folk you are dealing with. I wouldn't buy a DW home again and couldn't recommend them.
