The gardens will be made of clay, overlooked, noisy neighbours - don't do it.
As for crusty that is pretty much Glastonbury , and Wells too...

But having strong principles is expensive and annoying.
True :)
Flood zone
Good shout, it's not exactly in one but there's a medium-risk area nearby. The site is on top of a hill though (but you descend down as you go further in). It's a joint development with Taylor Wimpey so some houses are theirs. Red flag? Don't know.
overlooked, noisy neighbours
Corner plot with 1 immediate neighbour (and the other neighbour's end of garden + parking on the other side) isn't bad in this case.
If all new builders are similar shittiness in one way or another, is the best way to rent for a year and wait for something to come up on the market and get shafted with crusty stuff instead of new stuff?

They're supposed to be getting better, not sure they ever will... Considering a 4 BR around Wells/Street/Glastonbury. Their option (floorplan and location wise) fits the requirements very well, and "old" houses in the vicinity seem to be extra crusty or overpriced, or usually both.
The move is mainly due to school change and since it's 120 miles away I need it to go as smoothly as possible. Luckily(?) we're FTB.
