WW has had similar comments from readers on the quality of new builds  particularly in the Waverley Wealden clay areas, where problems are already surfacing with shrinkage, windows and doors moving etc. Some of which are occurring on very expensive properties – the problems appear to be connected with, what are believed to be, inadequate footings and drainage issues
