What the record shows
Tottenham's best known new build case is Hale Village, and it is a serious one. It shows how fire safety problems can leave residents with very large bills years after they bought.
Cladding is a building level issue, but the state of your own flat is something you can get on record before you complete. That is the point at which the developer is still responsible for fixing it.
