One thing I would say is in your favour is that all 24 apartments are sold so if the very worst happened I guess you could all get together to see if you can come to some arrangement with the land owner (maybe some form of payment) and then the owners sue the builder collectively. At least that way you would get to use your apartments.

Ridiculous because as the person with their name on the land tapu, the landowner holds all the cards...

Post by: Scunner on November 27, 2011, 14:23:22 PM: I wouldn't say that Norm. You can prove you bought the property but you'll have to wait till the dispute between the landowner and Nicholas Homes is sorted - one way or another. It is easy to see it from the landowner's point of view - Nicholas have been paid for 20 apartments that couldn't have been built without his land, and he hasn't got his agreed share. He'll be in no rush to sign over ownership of his land.

Normbosh, I hope it all works out for you in the end.

Post by: Scunner on November 27, 2011, 20:50:09 PM: Yes I agree, it is the sensible and correct legal solution for the property buyers (but not for the landowner but that's his problem with Nicholas). Once again it is so frustrating because this is not a problem that someone like Einstein needs to fathom a solution to, a system that eradicates this and nearly all other purchasing problems could be worked out within half an hour.

It is a total outrage that a developer has sold out an entire project of 20 properties (at an uneducated guess of an average selling price of £65k per apartment they have received £1.3 million pounds for this project alone) and not paid the landowner - causing 20 legitimate and trusting buyers to have no ownership of anything in return for their honestly paid thousands.

Post by: kizkucuk on November 28, 2011, 10:39:23 AM: Try using the search option - there is an old thread about problems with Nicholas Homes and I also remember reading a really long one on TLF I think - it might help if you know how/if others have managed to resolve no tapu issues with the same company. A google search might throw some information up. There have been rumours of financial problems for at least the last 2 years - but they are still in business so they may just be rumours. Good luck with getting it sorted - you defintitely need a lawyer.
