Here is a comprehensive list of all the defects and issues we have encountered in our Bovis Home. My aim is to detail each one in a blog post and where possible describe the experience, the issues we faced and outcomes. Each item will eventually link to a separate blog on each topic, creating a “contents” page if you like of all the defects, issues, trials and tribulations we have had to face in what should have been our dream home!
