CFN patio doors, sangria, ken from the shop update

Hello all, most of you probably won’t know what I’m on about but for those of you that do, I feel that I owe you an explanation. A friend alerted me to a few threads where I’d been called a troll etc.

I’ve been through a very long process with NDN about the doors (which I had been told were going to be replaced/ wall reinstated etc)

I had also been told by my lawyer that all was fine.

The planning dept have been on my side, as per all previous threads.

This all seemed to be going ahead until I returned home to find half of my flat wall caved in.

I had to move out to stay with a friend. The whole thing has been a total nightmare and it is still not resolved. My wall has been partially fixed, the patio doors remain and no one has seen hide nor hair of NDN or the builders for months.

My flat is now uninhabitable for the foreseeable and there are legal implications, planning laws and listed building laws which all have to be agreed and adhered to before anything will be done, apparently.

This may be terribly outing but I am beyond caring. I was told not to post on here, however, the advice I received was second to none and so I thank you all for that.

My grandma has been unwell so I have been back and forth to Spain, seems like all is against me!

Sorry I disappeared for so long, but you can imagine how awful it has been, I’m in a better place now, so thought it was time to come back and let you know that I’m not some fantasist making up stories about doors 😂

Hope to see some familiar names on the thread!

Dora, how very kind of supportive of you Hmm There are people dying all over the world, does that mean none of us should ever get concerned about smaller problems?

OP, I've been with you from the start. Can't believe your wall has caved in. Nightmare Sad

Madamepomfrey · 27/10/2017 22:58

Oh know I honestly though l honestly thought we hadn't heard anything because for once justice was served and everything was going well. I hope you lawyers are going to take them for everything they can!! Hope span gran is doing better too!

TimeIhadaNameChange · 27/10/2017 22:58

Have been wondering how you were, but that's not the update I wanted to read! Does anyone have any idea how long it will be til you move back in?

Best wishes to SpanGran.

Etymology23 · 27/10/2017 23:00

Oh no watty, what a nightmare! Lurked on the first thread, am so sorry it hasn't been sorted out. Wishing good health to SpanGran as far as possible and hope insurance can sort it all out house wise. Flowers

Jacana · 27/10/2017 23:01

all the best to you and SpanGran, oh, and Ken of course.Wine

HeebieJeebies456 · 27/10/2017 23:02

i think it's about time you got legal representation and find out who owns the house.

Slimthistime · 27/10/2017 23:02

Oh Watty
I remember us talking about the RCJ
I'm so sorry this got worse, I really feel for you, this utter hell. I thought you'd stopped posting for the outingness of it.

All good wishes to your gran too.

I saw your old thread pop the the other day, someone looking for an update... I’d Read them all and cannot believe this is the update. Sending you and Spangran Flowers
This is so awful for you.

ohfourfoxache · 27/10/2017 23:05

Oh Watty, what the fuck happened? How the hell did your wall cave in?

I'm so sorry you're going through this, I just assumed that no updates = everything resolved Sad

condepetie · 27/10/2017 23:05

Awful news! So sorry that this has happened to you wattyy.

Oh how terrible I'm so sorry to hear it Sad

HazelBite · 27/10/2017 23:08

I am so sorry to read your update.
What a shitty thing to happen, I hope things start to look up for you and your Gran soon.

LapdanceShoeshine · 27/10/2017 23:09

Thanks for the update, Watty, but sorry to hear how bad things are at your flat atm - I'd been hoping everything had been fixed. Sorry about SpanGran too. Flowers

LapdanceShoeshine · 27/10/2017 23:10

@Doramaybe sorry to rain on your parade, but I don't think we have any interest in your opinon here

friskybivalves · 27/10/2017 23:12

Loving the intermittent injections of lemon juice amid the genuinely felt concerns for OP.

I was a lurker. I know how grim things like this are even with insurance and solicitors. A faff you really don’t need.

OP, could you find out from Land registry who the owner of the flat is and then sue the arse off them through the courts? Think up to £25,000 you can claim for an upfront fee of around £1,200. A location agent for £200 will find where they are and then you can get cracking with a pre action protocol. It might sharpen their focus somewhat.

SabineUndine · 27/10/2017 23:13

Watty, sweetie, that’s beyond awful. No wonder you haven’t been around. Take care of yourself and your gran.

Sistersofmercy101 · 27/10/2017 23:14

watt so sorry to hear about this! Followed all your threads as events progressed and wishing all was happily resolved - appalling that CFN have behaved in this way and run off and you've suffered this damage out of home situation! 😢 Hope Grandma is all recovered now/soon! Flowers

FinallyDecidedOnUserName · 27/10/2017 23:15

Oh crap. How shitty. Hope SpanGran is ok.x

Watt was hoping for an update but assumed it was down to the slow griding of legal wheels. Sorry to hear about the flat, and hope SpanGran has a speedy recovery.
