John Cooper, from the snagging firm New Home Quality Control, has warned that the house-building drive will end badly because "The Government hasn’t thought about how these houses are going to get built."
He told the Telegraph: “New builds are in such a bad state already as there aren’t enough good quality tradesmen out there to cope.
“So you can only imagine the whole world of mess we’ll be in when housebuilding increases to this degree.

“I don’t see a good end coming to this at all – it’s only going to go downhill. The Government hasn’t thought about how these houses are going to get built.
“It’s already very rare that you see somebody happy with a new build as the quality is lacking. It’s going to get worse.”
Experts have also warned that the 300,000 homes a year that need to built is "impossible" to achieve.
This would mean that 2.5 homes must be built every minute, or 1,195 homes daily.
The Centre for Cities think tank has carried out research that concludes Labour will only be able to deliver 75%—1.12 million homes—of the homes it has promised.

Ms Rayner has maintained that her targets are "achievable."
She said this week: "I will not hesitate to do what it takes to build 1.5 million new homes over five years and deliver the biggest boost in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation.
"We must all do our bit and we must all do more. We expect every local area to adopt a plan to meet their housing need. The question is where the homes and local services people expect are built, not whether they are built at all."
