can i get out of contract to buy

It might be worth seeing if the developer will allow you to reassign the contract if you can find someone prepared to buy the apartment.

Is the solicitor "your solicitor" or the solicitor recommended by the developer? It sounds odd that a developer can run over on the delivery time, can you runover on when you pay them as well? I would check with an impartial solicitor.

personally dont think a year and a half is a reasonable over-run. I would talk to another solicitor, one with a bit of balls, and get a second opinion.

So the 30 month figure in the contract means nothing. Why put it there in the first place?
It's back to the lack of regulation I guess. In insurance, communications, etc a regulator insists upon the spirit, as well as the letter, of contracts with customers to be rigorously upheld.
