Both my oven and washing machine have broken this week. I bought them in August 2000, new as apart of my new property.

Does the sale of goods act cover me for compensation from the builder for repair cost?

I have wriutten to the builder & they are considering my claim.

Thanks

Matt.

The only thing to say is "check your contract".

Again, speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau as they'll have seen this before...

Which Magazine did something about this some time back. They argued that even though a 12 month warranty had expired white goods should last longer than this. They took a couple of cases to the manufacturers where products had broken down within 2 years and the manufacturers coughed up for repairs.

Have a look at the Citizen's Advice Bureau's website If you can't find what you want, I would suggest giving them a ring and checking. I reckon you've got a good case personally.
