Generally you can ask and it's up to the builder if they'll show you. Usually they will for certain things like kitchen quotes, electrical maybe and a few others. But…

No, that would be organising the solar yourself after handover. You would just need to try and organise with your energy provider to install a "net meter" from the start…

I wouldn't bother with a 1.5kw solar pv system personally. Solar panels are incredibly cheap at the moment and the general consensus is to put as many panels on your…

Hello,
The reason for the house failing basix would be because it was post July. If you have a building contract dated before December this year you can apply for…

I'm currently living there one day a week on the weekend but not sleeping there. Hopefully that counts. I'm about 6 weeks off living there full time.

Sadly it's only a 50 inch 3 year old Samsung. We have to buy one for the kids room so our upgrade will have to wait.
If anyone's interested, I…

No not much left to do really but not much time to do it either. Hopefully 6 weeks and I'll be in there.

Real timber yes. Southern beech which is a blackbutt lookalike but much cheaper. Mudberry (mushroom) coloured grout.

There's not much on fetch t.v.really. I have the box but not the service. Then again it's purely up to the individual user. All of them have trials as Joey…

I trialled both and went with Netflix. Mainly because more isp's offer unmetered Netflix but I haven't seen many that do the same for Stan. Plus Netflix are investing a…

just choose a provider about 4 weeks out from handover and they will organise the rest

I think it's just the common bricks. Are you having some rendered or bagged brickwork to the facade?

Skymesh 50mbps plan. Unmetered Netflix. This was the best deal for me. You will probably need more than 50gb peak time.
