Default New build house - garden waterlogging

"Sarah P" "Sarah wrote in message


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 rather think that your problem is one of gender ...errrr Sa..err
Kei...err.

Hold everything until you can be sure that the problem isn't temporary.
I've posted the message on to where you can get more immediate help.
