My washing machine broke down three weeks after it was delivered. It won’t even switch on. But the retailers insist they have to be given a chance to repair it. Surely I can insist on a new machine?

They had previously viewed the house off plan, paying £500 deposit to Cala Homes.

Lay, who has her own beauty business, said: “When we moved in, there was no lamp post. The house was great.”

But she returned home one night in June to find the monstrosit­y on the path. Lay, who is originally from Malaysia, said: “I couldn’t believe my eyes.”

She called Cala to complain and they advised her to contact East Renfrewshi­re Council.

Lay said: “A site meeting was arranged and, at first, Cala said they had told me the lamp post would be outside the house, which was nonsense.
