Of course there were plans, how do you think the developer got planning permission?serotoninsid said:I alledgedly 'bought off the plans' but there were no plans!
Totally Off Topic.CelloPoint said:I would not recommend going near Irish property in 2006.
Your misinterpreting what i'm saying Dave. Yes the builder sought planning with specific plans. However, my contract included something not much better than back of fag packet front/side elevation and plan view - with a disclaimer that they werent to scale and the builder reserved the right to make changes as the development progressed.Dave_Post said:Of course there were plans, how do you think the developer got planning permission?
How detailed do the plans they get the planning on need to be - i dont mean external or structural - but say the internal layout. Could they change the internal layout without the local authority caring? Furthermore, if they really are bound down by the plans submitted to the local authority, whats the deal with not being able to provide these to the customer then?CiaranC said:But werent the full plans - projections, elevations, plans, site, services, parking, boundary and countless revisions to all of these available from your local authority?
extopia said:Off topic I know, but to me buying off plans is akin to paying for your Oxegen (or even Cliff Richard) tickets a year in advance. Takes all the risk off the promoter, and they get to sit on your money. Don't think it happens anywhere else but here, and if it does, certainly not to the same extent. You need a herd mentality, with a little desperation thrown in, to buy off plans, in my opinion.
Sunny said:... you need give the developers some incentive to build. Why would they take the risk of spending a year or more building a property if at the end of the day nobody bought it.
Sunny said:Same with your concert anology. A promotor isn't go to pay U2 a few million in advance and then hope to sell enough tickets on the night.
