Hi All,
I have been offered an apartment in cork st which i verbaly accepted in feb last year,
A whole year later i am still not in,
The market value plumeted as did the discount percentage.
The valuations i had caried out never matched the councils so the council reluctantly ad it revalued, this valuation was still too high.
Now the apartment needs to be revalued again because it has been 6 months since the last valuation from the council and the private market value is again below the councils un realistic valuation of the property.
Rejuivination of the area has halted and the apartments are full of grafiti.
What is the story with just the clawback being reduced?
Does anyone know if it is illegal for the council to offer a property at a certain percentage discount from one valuation and then when they re value it themself not give the same percentage discount off the new valuation?
Is this not false advertising?
I got snag lists done. ( the plaster walls were lose and falling down )
I am so annoyed that the council have offered me this apartment knowing that it does not suite my needs, as i discussed parking, area and price with them.
All the above delayed me securing a mortgage so in my opinion the council have created their own mess by not offering me something more suitable from their EXCESS STOCK!
I have now spoken to my solicitor about the price decrease and instructed him to contact the council about a discount as the council would not respond to me.
If the council do not make the affordable home affordable they will only have themselves to blame for loosing 12 months of service charges (1800 euro) for this unit and 12 months bridging loans ( apparently 12k ), I will drop the offer and then they will loose another 12 months doing it all again with the next poor sod.
Am i just being ungreatful?
