Is this normal? Exposed pipework

[Fk333]

Looking a new build flat. Both these items exposed in the kitchen and wonder what they are, and if it's normal for them to be exposed?

Thanks

What a total mess (for both) but nothing out of the ordinary for many new builds.

Wouldn’t have it exposed myself, but in theory nothing wrong with it (except the exposed wires, in the second property)

Haha that's all I'm saying

Picture 1 looks like the cold main coming in with a water meter and pressure reducing valve. Picture 2 is a heat recovery system with a condensate pump underneath it. No its not normal and the workmanship looks appalling. Personally I'd avoid the place.

Shocking.
If that's the state of what you can see, what's the state of what you can't easilly see.

And I bet there's a few zeros on the end of the price of the flat.

Been a leak in picture 1 also.

I would never buy a new build, see of the repairs I've done for people with houses <10years old is shocking, we sadly don't build house to last any more.

They should have put a mirror instead of an upstand under the Heat Interface unit , so you can see what you've lost.

The exposed pipework is not the best, however it looks like it's pushed for space. Picture 3 is shocking and looks like a right bodge, even if it is boxed in.

Please tell us you haven't bought that.

If that's the visible parts of the build what lurks behind & out of sight...........

Bloody hell,what a mess!
Hate to think what the rest of the plumbing is like.
RUN AWAY.

That MVHR is badly fitted, the ducting is all over the place and should be in rigid stuff. I’m sure your supposed to have 300mm above the before any bends.

On the plus side, if it had been fitted properly Nuaire are really good!
