Cheers - it's a weird one in that it was bought by a private individual who then leased it back to the developers to use as a show home, and is now trying to sell it on at 20% markup. The 2 year warranty has just expired which makes me concerned about bits like showers and baths that won't have been used.

Was the private individual the developer's brother or something? Sounds like some kind of tax dodge

The place I bought had been fully renovated and never lived in and, as it was done by a private developer, had no warranty.
Before exchanging I went in with a big list of stuff to test and made sure everything was working. I picked up on a few things which they subsequently fixed but after moving in we have found various minor stuff like small leaks that needed to be fixed, the boiler was inconsistent, etc

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)
