I always had huge rows with my ex wife about houses, she always wanted to buy new and I always refused, you get no better protection from problems with a new build in fact probably worse problems, I will take an old house with obvious issues I can price in to the offer and deal with anytime.
training standards for the trades have dropped so much in the last 20 years or so half the carpenters out there can barely do more than hang a door these days
