Hole in the roof....

[Sockpuppet]

My grans flat which she bought 3 years ago for £330,000 is in a development of 28 David Wilson flats in Leicester. For the last 3 years (i.e. since new) it has had a hole in the roof and leaked water into her flat.

Currently there are buckets in the hallway and no plaster on the ceiling as water is running down the walls.

David Wilson don't want to know. Property management company don't want to know.

We've taken legal advice and the guy was about as helpful as a wet blanket. Short of taking them to court does anyone know how the National House Builders Guarantee works?

Any other ideas?

no success

don't waste don't time don't feck about

get a lawyer involved, letter from the lawyer

no response

Why arent the property management company interested they should be legally ? The block should have a sinking fund, pay for the repairs from that while the claim is going through. I had the same in a block of flats I lived in and this is what we did. You must have a company for the block so some of the residents musts be directors who can sign this off ?

Flats and lease hold are ******* nightmare

If its a new build then it is covered in the construction companies insurance for 10 years, i forget what it's called but theres a specific name for it. Get onto them as you should have done 2 years 11 months ago! and yeah take no crap just go for them as they will fob you off for months or years if you let them.
