We agree. This is all very worrying and it is important to stick together. We have e-mailed Ian & Carol to ask for a proxy voting form and are happy for them to vote on our behalf. We also have a house on phase 3 and were told we had access to the 2 pools on phase 1 & 2 by our agents EAS and Quara. Our experiences to date have been unpleasant to say the least. Our first house on phase one was not built to the design specifications and we refused to accept it. The second (quad bugalow) we were advised was ready in September, when we checked the house was almost finished but no gates, no garden, and a number of obvious outstanding faults needed action, needless to say we returned home without signing. We were informed before Xmas once again the house was ready and we should make arrangements to fly out to complete the purchase, we replied stating that before we did this we would like them to confirm the completion of the work by supplying us with photographic evidence. This has not been forthcoming, today we received yet another 'standard letter from our agent asking us to fly out and complete, it would seem that they have ignored our requests for confirmation of the work to be completed. Once again we will be writing to seek confirmation before we travel.
For the record we can see nothing in our contract that says our gardens are 'communal' and expect this to be done before signing. The whole project seems to have stalled, is there a lack of money to complete the work, are there still a number of these houses to be sold? Why are they so keen to deviate from what we signed up for and were told when we purchased.
Is it worth seeking independant legal advice? If we are not careful we will end up paying out significantly more money than we all intended and they will divide us by setting up seperate communities, remeber the old saying 'divide and conquer'!
We urge you all to support Ian & Carol and fight the devisive tactics which the builders seem to be using to complete the purchases
