David Wilson offers to guarantee fixtures and fittings in new homes for 5 years
November 30th 2009
New homes built by Earl Shilton's leading housebuilder will be covered by a five-year guarantee of its fixtures and fittings from today.
The items which David Wilson East Midlands will cover at no extra cost to the buyer will include appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators, kitchen units, wardrobes, the central heating system, fires, doors, windows, drainage, the hot and cold plumbing system and even the driveway.
The five-year guarantee of fixtures and fittings in place at the time of purchase is in addition to the existing ten-year warranty on the structure of new homes and remains valid even if the home is sold on to a new owner.
The exclusive offer, which is not available from any other housebuilder, marks the culmination of an intensive programme in which the company has focused on raising further the industry-leading quality of its homes.
David Wilson East Midlands was given a four star rating in this year's HBF Customer Satisfaction Survey, in which consumers are asked if they are satisfied with the quality of their new home and whether they would recommend their builder to a friend.
Site managers working for David Wilson East Midlands also won five NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Awards in 2009. The honours are the most coveted in the industry and are awarded after the construction standard setting body NHBC (National House-Building Council) carries out a series of spot check site inspections to select the best-organised and best-quality housing developments.
"Because we have confidence in the outstanding quality of our build, we are confident that we can offer this additional reassurance to our customers," said Philip Lacey, Sales Director at David Wilson East Midlands.
"Our five-year warranty covers just about everything in the home for the first 1,824 days of occupancy. We will act as a one-stop shop for addressing any problems with components or workmanship."
"So our customers can be reassured that they won't have to face any unexpected bills for which they haven't budgeted. Moreover, the warranty stays with the home, which means that if the customer decides to move they have a powerful sales tool to attract prospective purchasers."
The offer does not apply to social housing.
