Buying a house from Barratt's was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. There has been nothing but failures. - Our garden had been under water all winter, the ground has rotted and there are flies everywhere. - The land surrounding our house is a desert of water logged clay, despite repeated complaints. - Barratt's have accused us of lying about an updated conveyancing plan, which they had signed and sent to land registry. They are trying to bully and embarress us (we are young) to hide their mistake. - They have cut down a protected hedgerow in March, killing hatching birds.
