You don't move oven around like an armchair... Moving it anywhere would still required gas plumbing/electrical a to be accounted for also. I don't see moving it as any more…

looking over these posts it appears you're mixing up scenarios that relate to the op dilemma and general concepts and statements not specific to the op.

Let me put it this way. Everything the builder spends money on to deliver you a house, you're paying that cost plus whatever margin they've tacked on.
Builder pays 3k for…

Are you serious? I have to explain this to you?
It doesn't matter what a builder spends because they will recoup that and their profit from you. By your logic it's…

....wow
Really?
I...
No wonder I've been having trouble getting through to you.

Eaves are often a preference because most people choosing them don't even understand the function of them. Plenty of modern and architectural designs do not have eaves full stop. And…

Then you're barking up the wrong tree, because my argument is that lack of eaves doesn't lower the market value.
You're talking about paying for a feature that is a…

all good. You can keep making your property choices on aesthetics, while the rest of the people who know a thing or two make money on value.

Even if it sells first, the buyers that missed out on that identical house will try for the one next door at the auction 15 minutes after the first. It's…

And I'm sorry but the ability to sell a house also isn't reflective of how it looks either. You can have an amazing looking house but if it's in a…

Market value is not the same as what you think would lower the value of a house. Value is determined by factors such as location, condition, adverse features such as…

Then you'd be just as wrong as the op. It does not affect market value. Have you ever seen a valuation used by lenders?
Besides if the only redeeming feature before…

Oh agree, but based on OPs series of posts he probably went into that meeting with no other goal in mind than getting some financial gain out of it.

Eaves influencing market value? Lol. That's not how the market or house values work.
Sounds like you went about it the wrong way, which people here were trying to highlight to…

Correct. Part purpose of giving them notice is to make sure that entering the site is safe.
No excuses

And say what?
We're trying to point out its putting the cart before the horse. The response will be to wait out until a solution is offered, discuss/negotiate, then if not…

Your contract should afford you and/or your agent to attend if it's a standard HIA contract. They cannot Refuse you. Just find the clause and tell them you'll be coming…

Gimme gimme gimme. Take a breath and wait to see what the council says. If it's the house you want that was originally designed, then push for the Appeal if…

Don't bother with sales people opinions. Their job is to extract as much money as you can afford to pay for whatever it is they're selling.
Pick what you like, read…

As to quality, as long as it's not a bottom of the barrel home brand (ie "chef" "blanco" "technika" etc) it will be fine

Perhaps you want to establish what your budget is and what your builder is offering as options. Do some research on those options in your range and if they appeal…

Those factors are all typically relative to the quality of the oven, not the type of oven.
The biggest drawback to a freestanding one is that overtime food scraps end up…

Depending on the orientation of the house and time of day, you may get extreme glare. Theatres are supposed to be dark to avoid this problem. Some home theatres have…

Influence is relative. If you've got a stubborn ss or builder it won't influence at all. That bit is up to you. The report arms you with facts and references…

Not compliant irrespective of what they say.

I had our builder rip up the entire perimeter of concreting and do it again because it wasn't compliant. Just stick to your guns about compliance, regulation and possible outcomes…

It's a house, not a bath. covered weep hole are not compliant. Landscaping half way up weep holes or not far enough below is non compliant.

Sure, this means it can also drain into the weep hole....think.

On bookshelves, TV unit, sideboards etc. not too fussed on placement for optimum stereo field as there all over the place.

You hit the nail on the head. Ease of use is a big part in this type of set up, and Sonos have that sorted hands down better than any…
