Hello wise Mumsnetters! I really hope someone has had experience of this before but we live on a private estate and bought directly from the developers. Six months later they went bust and the receiver has completed the rest of the estate. When we first bought the property, we were told we would have to become directors of the management company which we did, but once the developers went bust that company was disbanded and a new one was set up by the receivers.
We are on a red bed sewage system which there have been problems with and ongoing maintenance costs which have skyrocketed over the last year or two and we are not sure whether it is because it is not fit for purpose because of the number of properties here or whether it has not been installed correctly (on top of which people keep putting wet wipes down the toilets which is causing problems despite many emails reminding people not to do so), although I’m told it does look more healthy now.
We are now in a position where we need to sell our property but are no longer members of the management company because of the situation previously.
We have no deed of adherence in place and it seems until the situation with the red bed is sorted, we are unlikely to be able to get one.
Has anyone ever been in this situation and been able to sell their house? We have contacted our solicitors who are supposed to be coming back to me but they are very slow at doing so and so far I’ve had no advice from them. Any help or advice would be very gratefully appreciated.
