22 Mar 2010 11:38:An update on the situation. The builder refuses to accept a cancellation from us to repay our deposit as he argues that the (property is complete), although there is no H.C. He blames admin at the Town Hall for the delay. We would need to prove to the courts that the proper conditions had not been met at the end of Sept to grant the H.C. As for executing our bank guarantee I have been told that the bank would argue the same point as the builder that the (property is complete) so would not pay out our deposit and that we would need to go to court to sue the developer and the bank. Whatever we decide it will not be our existing solicitor that we will be instructing to take action. I suppose we also have the option of not turning up for the signing if the H.C. is granted. I only have the builders word that our apt is complete and as someone in our community suggested that we come out to see the state of the development, we do not have the time to come out again as we did on Sept 09 to find this apt not complete again.
