Property legislation and landlords NI?

Question

Hi,

Does anyone know if, a property developer has a legal responbility to let a buyer know if he himself has bought a property next door with the intention to let it out? i purchased a house in a new development 10 months ago and I had to go 30k over the asking price can I ask for the details of legitimate biders to see if I have been scamed? And I have be unable to live at the property from completion because the developer sold the house next door to himself as an investment and then let it out for cash, and the tennant is causing trouble and harrasing me, opening my mail and causing slander as well as claiming benefits in the address, the developer will not handle my complaints or warn the tennant. Friends of the tennant have stolen my pocessions and nothing is safe outside my home is there any legal action I can take? Also my son had a fall out the back of his property off a trampoline which wasn't secure or closed off and had to be hospitalised do I have a claim?

He was playing there when we only bought the house, before the trouble started and he is 7 its not tresspassing if it is not clearly marked or locked up....And you shouldn't comment on law when your a thicko and don't know legislation.....If you fall on someones property you can claim for liabilty, he was given permission to play there..........Answers is full of bored know it alls who know alot about nothing, its a sad world when you cant put a plant out with out it being stole, Your are all assholes on this self assure assholes. Get a life and don't assume things you don't know.

Answer 1

I don't think the developer has to tell you, it's quite common for them to keep a property (or several)to rent out. In England you can find out from land registry how much the property (next door) was sold for, I don't doubt that it was substantially below what you paid. As for the rest call the police if you are being robbed or burgled, don't leave stuff outside! Opening your mail is illegal - police again. Your son shouldn't have been on somebody else's property so, no you don't have a
claim - keep him under control and don't let him trespass, if you can't live there how did your son come to be there?


Your reply reflects what type of person you are, your son may have been told he could play there, however you should still have exercised some common sense and seen that it wasn't safe. property does not have to have a fence to belong to someone else.Yes very sad that you can't leave things outside but that reflects your neighbourhood and you chose to buy there!

I think before things get out of hand to far, you'd better see an attorney and explain what's going on. A simple letter to the man of "desist and halt" may be all that required. If not then the attorney would know what the next step is, probably a hearing in from of a judge.
After that, if nothing comes of it and, it may not, the a court case has to be started. this is the only way to resolve some of these cases I'm afraid. The first letter May scare them and make them think.
