There's no roads etc there yet but if you look down from the sales office is pretty much the nice big empty green area with signs!

Sorry to hear of your frustrations... Its never good when things dont pan out. I think that its in their best interests to begin works ASAP, so if they arent doing that there must be a reason thats stopping them.... The more research i've done since the announcement of the delays with the titles, and seeing people having to change their plans etc, the more I have found that this isnt an uncommon occurance with buying untitled and as yet developed blocks. Most real estate experts state the "buyer beware" warning and not to make plans that cant be altered when buying in to something like this... (great stuff to find out AFTER you've already bought and made plans! ). Some estates have had delays of years, some like the Orchard with a few months of extensions put on here and there. Some Estates have run smoothly and on time, but this seems to be the exception rather than the rule! So whilst you and others are angry (and no one is saying you shouldnt feel that way - it's a pain), this isnt an isolated situation, so i've now learned. I'm in no way trying to side with them (just want to make that very clear ) I think that all developers shouldnt be able to state a settlement date that isnt going to be met, and it should be communicated clearly to those involved that that targeted date wont be met... waaay before the last minute. Reading so many of these stories with people in the same situation as you. Not fair Some other people have had to cut their losses and move to other blocks, again different situations etc. It wasnt easy for them and I can understand not wanting to hold on in case there is another delay. We on the other hand arent bothered by it (again, a different perspective).
