Man hangs huge banner outside £500,000 new build home in furious two-year row with developer

A man has put a giant banner up outside his new build home as a warning to prospective buyers. Balbinder Singh, who lives in a £500,000 new build home, erected the sign in the midst of a two-year row with developer Avant Homes.

Mr Singh claims that he has been trying to get the developer who built his house to fix problems since he moved in April 2021, and claims that Avant Homes is now 'ignoring him'.

But Mr Singh said: "They're ignoring us and they're not bothered. We're fed up. How can they leave it like this? They agree with me when I speak to them and then nobody comes. Someone has to come forward."

It's not the only problem Mr Singh alleges is unresolved. He also claims the bi-fold doors need their glass replaced, the internal doors need
