Pensioners John and Liz Pritchard say they have been left 'distraught' after moving into the five-bed townhouse in Wellington, Somerset last year The couple say they were confronted with 'appalling' issues from the moment they stepped foot in the house Mr and Mrs Pritchard also highlighted what they described as 'rank amateurish' brickwork on the property The couple, who are both in their 70s, have been locked in a battle with Bovis Homes to get the 'bodge job' fixed Mr Pritchard says an independent snagging expert identified almost 200 defects when he carried out an inspection at the property, which could cost tens of thousands of pounds to make right At first the couple suspected the furniture had been damaged in transit, but on closer inspection discovered the floor of the house was uneven.
