Ah, amitabh1. This may well be to your advantage. There is a case going on down where I live. I know of a group of people trying to back out off an off plan deal. I think that they are using the past completion date as a get out. Worth looking into this.

Can you let me know more about that when you can please?

Sure the fuel price is dropping... but this 'drop' is damped by the fact our pound is worth 25% in dollar value than it did 4-5 months ago.... Petrol will not return to its previous value unless the price per barrel reaches 20-30 bucks.

Which previous price? Don't forget that at 98p per litre, the government is taking 65p, with 10p for retailers and distribution there's not that far it can fall, even if oil were $1/barrel.

Will pm you this evening.

I don't really see the difference between the person who gambles on buying flats that haven't even been built, someone taking a punt on the stockmarket or somebody who has a flutter on some horse in the 4 o'clock at Kempton. Are we supposed to feel great sympathy for all of them?

Evening fatpig, I would suggest that in fact is the issue, you don't understand!

What's to understand, it's obvious, they're all mugs who took a punt and lost.

So just get over it and move on to your next mug punt!

I very much welcome a good debate providing it is backed with some sound reason, rather than cheap empty insults. From your history of loitering in the forum, periodically popping in to threads with meaningless negative comments which are without sound reason, or indeed any point other than sarcasm (seemingly as an attempt to cause upset) I can only conclude that you are an individual with an inferiority complex who seeks compensation for your own failings in others misfortune.

For this reason you will understand why I will not be engaging you!

I shall take your advice and move on to improving my life and happily leave you to continue pointlessly loitering.

Interesting thought though.............. they are all mugs...........and you?????????

The OP needs a solicitor to go through whatever documents he's signed to see if there is any way out for him.

And to do much of his own researching.

Question: I bought an apartment off-plan with a 10 per cent discount about 18 months ago and exchanged contracts on it. I paid a deposit plus a reservation fee direct to the developers.

I need to complete the purchase in two weeks’ time but because the apartment has been valued at less than the purchase price, the only mortgage I can get has a very high rate of interest and is for a much lower amount than I need.

So I have decided that I do not want to buy the apartment. I know I will lose my deposit. What else happens?
