Re: I knew it was fscked in 1993 ...
Well said.
Most of the new builds that are being thrown up in this country are very poor in quality. One development near me, the developer (one of the majors) skimped on the power supply to each house. 60A max instead of the 100A as was in the plans. Is the developer going to pay to have it upgraded? Pigs will fly first.
60A means that most EV chargers (which draw 32A for a 7.5kW device) have to be dialled back to 5kW max.
They put in cheapo combi boilers that won't last 3 years. The list goes on. These 500K homes are IMHO, not worth 500p.
