Having just returned from a site visit, we were shocked at how the site actually appeared to be in a  worse state than when we last visited in Aug 08, and feel it will be many months if at all before completion . From the moment you turn of the main road that leads to the site you are uninpressed with unfinished roads and paths, empty unfinished developments and derelict properties. Appartments are in a horrific state with very apparent structural problems effecting the front properties (blocks 10,11,12 ,we have one of these)  but some of the blocks behind also show signs of  problems.There are no amenities and no sign of building work been carried out.The link Villas that have now been released are not finished to a particulaly high standard but at least they are standing and have their pool completed.The whole development is like a ghost town and does not have a good feel. Having looked at other properties available in the area , and there are alot for sale, we feel it better to pull out and try to get our deposit back if possible. We feel that we will be better of pulling out and cashing in on other developments that have reduced property prices due to the current economical world situation. Im sure eventually if they do manange to complete this site and rectify the problems the properties will be valued at alot less, maybe it would even be worth a gamble to pull out and then buy back at a much reduced price thus possibly recouping some of our deposit lost.

We plan to send an e mail to our solicitor with photos of the problems we have seen and on these gounds ask for our deposit returned.

Nearly five years ago we placed a depost with OVP to secure a 2 bed appartment on this site. We now are in the position of deciding what to do for the best.

Our main concerns are firstly our block (11) has structural faults.We were not informed of these problemsand only found out about this problem through this forum . What  gaurentee do we have that these will be put right,and what is the timescale on this work, the rumour that the app is 2m smaller than planned, the late competion of the sites facilities which will effect rental meaning we will have to cover the morgage.

We would be interested in joining anyone who would like to negotiate a new deal with the developer taking the above reasons into consideration or perhaps push to pay part of the money on completion of the appartment (perhaps what it is worth without the facilities) and the rest when the facilities are completed, or secondly try to get out and get as much of our deposit back on the grounds of all of our concerns listed above being a breech of contract
