What standard should I expect, when being offered a River Clyde Homes house?
The house must be made secure with a new five lever mortice lock (with two keys) and two keys to the door entry system (if fitted). The door entry handset must work. Sanitary equipment must be of a serviceable standard. All items must be a matching colour (preferably white) with plugs, chains and a new toilet seat. Showers will be removed unless they are standard equipment for that house type or are part of an ‘Aids and Adaptation’ package. Kitchen units should give a minimum standard of 1 cubic metre of storage, where practicable. All doors must match each other and worktops should be of the same pattern. There should be a sink unit in good condition with taps, plug and chain. A point for an electric cooker must be provided. If there is already a pipe for a gas cooker then it should be capped and left in situ. No new gas point will be provided. All electrics must be to British Standard. Any existing extractor fans must be clean and operate correctly. There must be adequate space heati
