TV presenter Kirsty Allsopp has criticised the build quality of new homes since the 1980s, saying she has seen some really shoddy examples.
Her comments came after a tweet by The New Homes site that advised people to buy new and avoid some £51,643 in potential costs to bring an older property up to the same standard.
Allsopp called the claims totally misleading, and plans to notify the Advertising Standards Authority.
