Throw in to sink drain, bath drain and toilet bowl a bottle each of Hydrogen Peroxide.

Then throw in Clorox overnight.

Use toilet Duck and squirt under the toilet seat rim.
Leave to soak. Dun flush.
I then usually put in to the toilet water cistern those blue discs.
Use the discs for about a month. Every week will need new disc.

Likely the WC installation is not done properly causing air leak from sewer system.

Get a plumber to take a look at the WC installation. Likely cause by poor installation or damaged pan collar.
