Questions!

So, all I have done today is research buying a brand new property online.  There seems to be a lot of negativity about buying a new build, which frightens me a little, and a whole load of shit being thrown an Taylor Wimpey.  I can't find anything that mentions the Diglis development in particular, so I will take that as a positive.  Many people advise against buying off plan, but what else can you do when you cannot afford anything else?  The only reason that we can buy this beauty is because of the money we are "borrowing" from the government.  At this time this only applies to new builds, so we have to take what we can get.

I have a huge list of questions to ask when we go for our second visit tomorrow.  Questions about completion, snagging (a new term I learnt today!), warranties, EPCs, and flooding.  Flooding is a big problem here in Worcester and the apartment will be approximately 25 meters from the river bank.  And not just any river; a river with the second largest tidal surge in the world.  The River Severn. 

I am worried.  I have never even thought about buying a house before, never mind one that is just a brick shell.  But I am excited about going back and seeing the show apartment again tomorrow and making sure that it is as nice as I think it was last week.  So much has happened in the last week!
