WE BOUGHT A PROPERTY WITHOUT BANK GUARANTEE WHAT CAN WE DO

WE BOUGHT A PROPERTY WITHOUT A BANK GUARANTEE  WE DONT KNOW IF THE BUILDER IS GOING TO GO BUST NO WORK AS BEEN DONE FOR 18 MONTHS A LOT OF US HAVE PAID A LARGE DEPOSIT

BUT THE BUILDING IS ABOUT 80% FINISHED

IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO ?

WE HAVE CONTACTED THE PROMOTERS AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT GOING BUST, THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING THEY HAVE HAD MONEY PROBLEMS AND BROBLEMS WITH THE BUILDERS

THE COMPLETION DATE IS THIS JUNE  BUT THEY HAVE SOME LEAWAY THEY SAY ITS NOVEMBER

NO BUILDERS ON SITE AND NOTHING HAPPENED FOR 18 MONTHS

DO NOT BUY OFF PLAN WITHOUT A BANK GUARANTEE WE HAVE LEARNED THIS MUCH

thanks smiley we are in the middle of doing this we have quite a few people on our forum and we are getting together and getting the lawyer involved in the next few weeks

Philansy,

I would seriously consider instructing your lawyer to register a legal charge on your property. In the event that the developer does go bust you would be listed as a preferential creditor.

thanks miket will do

thanks for info miket

we are hopeing we wont need to go that fare but who knows
