what you have is a leak on the compression joint, if your confident then nip the fitting up using another spanner to stop the valve turning, if not then give a plumber a call.

If it is a brand new house just get onto the builder to get his plumbers to come back and fix a leak they left.
 
This will be covered under the new house warranty/guarantee. Get on to the builders to get this fixed.
