Hi all,
Apologies for the X-post but the d.i.y guys always seem to know
what's
going on with regard to 'building' regs but the real domain of the
question
is my 'garden'. Basically, I've bought a new house up in Scotland
and the
garden is a bit of a nightmare. The slightest amount of rain
results in
pools of standing water and the newly laid turf is apparently about
to start
rotting. Now a local landscaper has said that the problem can
probably be
rectified but I don't think it should be up to me to pay for this.
The
landscaper also mentioned that standing water should be the
developer's
consideration. How do you think I should approach this - should
the
developer be sorting out the drainage or am I stuck with footing
the bill
for this myself ?

Thank for any guidance,
Keith

I don't know the answer to your question but one thing I do know is
make sure that you log this with the builder before 2 years since you
took the house is up. Any faults that occur before the 2 years is up
the builder has to put right.
