HI there
We have been lurking here for months but never really had the guts to post! Yesterday I was so excited about my double glazing window quote and today I am so irritated I coud scream. We have just recieved our third letter from the flipping council with more information they want. What I find most frustrating is that each time the requests are new and not related to the last requests ... and so bloody trivial! Now I can appreciate that they have standards and building codes etc but this is not what his beefs are. We are building on an estate where some of the land is being sold by the developer and some by landcorp. We bought landcorp land and it is not subject to the clause whereby the developer has to sign the plans off. Despite the developer having told him this he is still insisting on it. Last time he requested engineering drawings to be signed = they were, he had lost the originals.
Our architect has been dealing with the council and he spent ages at the initial stages liasing with the council and ensuring that everything met the standards. Seems our trainee surveyor needs to build a portfolio. GGGRRRRR
Whinge over - onwards and upwards!
