A man says he discovered 178 snags on his new build home and when contractors were appointed to fix one issue they left his car covered in paint. Mr Harford, who does not want his first name published, bought the Persimmons Home property in Ebbw Vale on June 28 this year.
When exchanging contracts he informed the developer that due to his experience as a construction site manager, no snag would be left unseen but he was assured the property had been "snagged" by three separate and senior members of the construction site.
Mr Harford, whose wife was pregnant with their third child at the time, stressed how desperate they were to move in straight away to the three bed £260,000 property on the Carn Y Cefn estate. He is now warning anyone against buying a property from the construction firm and swore he would never repeat the mistake again.
