Hi
My friend is buying apt off plans on ground floor...
Huge ESB substation, size of a small house or very large shed, has appeared outside the window which faces onto the street, a few feet from the apartment.
Apartment is north facing on the corner. Other window looks out at future apt block, or factory at the moment.
Now the substation was not in the apt plans. Not in any documentation received, or on the plans provided.
There is no planning permission for the substation but builder could apply to retain. This was checked with Dublin City Council.
Option to get out of contract is available but apts have since gone up in price nearby and there's no others left in the block. Apt is nearly ready for snagging. Substation appeared practically overnight.
Builder of course isn't very sympathetic and they aren't offering monetary compensation. Basically take it or leave it.
Conveyancing solicitor doesn't seem very good.
I'm horrified to think that something the size of a small house can just be plonked outside an apartment block at street level.
Is there any solicitors that specialise in planning legislation out there? Anyone have any comments...
