Ch4HDnews
visited Brand New Homes by Bovis
or Wimpey Taylor

All had Air leaks
all had Unsealed areas
brand new.

An Expert poured special smoke through a Brand New Home
it even leaked through the brand-new roof.
Shocking

One Ladies mother has been moved out
they are demanding a Refund.

The one I’m with is definitely going to bust it’s like Poundland Energy or something.

Starting to wonder if it’s all a scheme to consolidate the energy market under the big names.

February is when they announce the rise and March is when they implement it. Then there will be another rise in 6 months

I'm on a fixed tariff until October (assuming they don't bust) but after that I'll probably be hit with a double hike just in time for next winter lol.
