Hi
Myself and my girlfriend bought an apartment in block B on a development in Donabate last June (signed the contracts and paid 15k). Block A was due to have show apartments ready by November 2004 and was due to be complete by Christmas 2004.
Now the show apartments for block A are not even due to be complete until late May and block B won't be ready until "AT LEAST August" (according to the selling agent). I have heard that most developments were delayed 3 or 4 months, but at this rate, it's looking to September or October.
My solicitor has said that there is no way out of the contract without losing the 15k deposit but I can't believe that a delay this big doesn't entitle the consumer to some way out?
Has anyone had any experience with something similar?
Thanks
Kev
