I mean, it's not exactly beautiful but there's not much to dislike? On paper its relatively good value for what it is. It's the show home, so a couple of years old and hasn't fallen down yet. Perhaps they put more effort in when building the one everyone looked at?

You mean the one they rushed to finish so they could start selling the rest off plan?

I live in a new build flat, was also the Show home. It's been ok.
I have a better spec kitchen and floor compared to the other flats but other than that it's all been pretty normal.
I think you can still call all the snagging faults out for repair if you're the first to live there. You have 30 days, so make sure you do a good job on this. Make a huge list.

Who's the builder? I'd have a good look around it for the quality of the finishing. I lived in a new house cul-de-sac house for a while growing up and although it looked new stuff kept breaking and the walls were made of paper.

Worked for a smaller house builder for 3 years. The directors often bought the show home as it was the one on the estate that had been done to the highest, best standard. But then was sold at a premium. Check who is actually selling. If it still has furniture make an offer (low) for that if you want it; they will probably have to throw it out. Always get a professional snagger in; esp if the water hasn’t been connected yet (Common in show homes)
