Professional Custom Home Builders in Irvine

If you are selling your present home, the timing of the exchange of contracts/missives is finely worked out. It is up to your solicitor to ensure that both sets of contracts - the sale of your existing home and the purchase of your new one - are exchanged simultaneously and a suitable moving day arranged so at no time are you 'homeless'. Sometimes it is not possible to co-ordinate the sale of your existing property and the completion on your new Milestone Home for the same day. If this is the case you may have to consider staying with friends or family or living in rented accommodation until your new Milestone Home is ready.

This is probably one of the most important optional extras. Our security packages vary depending on what level of security you wish to install in your new home. Please ask your on sales representative for further information on burglar alarms etc.

During the building of your new home the structure absorbs a considerable amount of water - it simply cannot be avoided. We advise the following to ensure that you get the very best from your new home: - During the first few months your home will go through the drying-out period. As this happens a few small cracks may appear in the walls and timberwork, this is quite normal and can be cured when you re-decorate. - Keep your central heating down to a comfortable level and use sparingly during the first few weeks. This will help to avoid the home heating up too quickly causing cracks to appear. - Keep doors and windows open a little whenever possible to ventilate your home.

Sometime we cannot be sure of the best course of action until a problem has been thoroughly inspected. For this reason we may arrange for an initial inspection of a defect to be undertaken in your home to ensure that the correct diagnosis is made and that the correct trades are deployed to fix it. Where such a defect is covered by our warranty we will either arrange deployment and completion within our normal procedures or we may ask you to defer. If an inspection is necessary, this may extend the overall time it takes for us to finally complete the job, however, we will do our utmost to meet the stated service criteria.

New homes require time to settle. Some settling issues are covered by our warranty and some are not. During the first few months in particular a settling problem can occur more than once. The first time you report such a problem we may ask you to wait a short while before having the remedial work undertaken. It is better to wait until all the settling has occurred then we can do all the remedial work in one go thus minimising any inconvenience to you.
