For legal reasons I have had to remove the name of the company from these comments.
The forum may be of some use Lucia, but you can sometimes hear confilcting opinions from unqualified 'experts' and end up even more confused.

Hi, purchased property off plan from ***** in April 2005, all my payments were on time over the coming months – nearing the end builder took more time than stated in contract for completion, and also insisted on me paying for transformer where contract clearly states that (a) property should be complete by a certain time and if not I should have received notification, allowed one months grace, and then could expect to obtain £500 per month for every month in late fees. (b) no other payments should be main except what is listed, and transformer was not listed. I contacted your company and receiv ed advice to mediate, though builder ignored my invitation. Meanwhile my father died, and I flew to Australia from London and stayed for some time sorting out my fathers estate. On my return tried to contact builder again, but with no luck. During all this U***** refused to intervene stating their signature was on contract merely as witnesses, and to see a solicitor. Then my brother was killed in a road accident in Melbourne Australia, and I flew to spend time with his wife and children. Again on my return I tried to contact the builder but was ignored. Have contacted U*****, and told them I am prepared to complete the sale, will waver the late fees that builder incurred, shall pay for transformer, and as I made all my payments to their bank, would like them to contact builder and let him know that I want to complete all and end this saga. Meanwhile I had a phone call telling me that the builder has rented my property out, as it has all white goods in kitchen that I bought from Unwins. Builder is not giving U***** final fees, U***** are not taking my phone calls any longer, and have not bothered to check on my behalf whether there is someone living in my apartment. Where do I go from here, I am beyond desperate. Lucia (property in name of Lucy Wiznycia – details were taken from my passport) Braithwaite

I've reported two Law Firms to the Bar Council for corrupt practices and have yet to hear anything! All a bunch of crooks! Richard

Thank you, Mrs. Mehmet! I learned more from your answers (mine was answered excellently!) than I did in five years of "contact" with my current lawyer. If I can afford you, you will be my next choice. Thanks again!
