However, I don't think anyone know how to work the smart heating system if I'm honest. We've had 3 different guys in to explain it to us and they've reprogrammed it for us each time and we've most of the heaters off throughout the place all year round.
Has anyone been given contact details for a development foreman? I’ve been told it is unusual to not have been giving any contact details at all for the people actually building our house.
I wonder is it because they're from across the pond. You could try contacting them on Facebook perhaps or just go through Savills?
Are you in the next phase of Skylark? We are, and have heard essentially nothing apart from that the house should be ready in 'Q4'. Nice and vague!
Has anyone in phase 1 sorted floors out yet?
Not yet, not sure how to do it timing-wise since we don't have a date - how are you going to do it?
I’m not totally sure yet but was going to get a few quotes and see if could book a fitter for mid October? The agents gave me the name of the company who did the showhouses so might try them first. I was told early that month was the plan so don’t want to delay moving too long and it seems that it’s difficult to get a fitter (at least that’s my experience so far)
Yup, haven’t heard a peep. Honestly if we hadn’t checked in a couple of times we wouldn’t have heard anything since October 2020.
Anyone know what’s the story with the stairs? Does it come ‘floored’ if you get me, or do we need to sort flooring for it? Planning to laminate hall and landing floors so would be going for something similar for the stairs.
Just know that they’re “unfinished”.
