Dear Sally,
We bought an apartment in Montenegro just over one year ago.the apartment was a new biuld but still had to be completed ie the gable wall had to be rendered. This work was to have been carried out last September; we holidayed in July of this year and the problem had not been fixed. The main living room wall was badly bluemoulded with mushrooms growing out as the wall had still not been rendered. We had to pay a painter and decorater to fix this problem. The problem we are having is that although the wall had not been rendered there were steel sheets tempoarily placed over the brick-work to the outside. This has since been removed by the builder, which will make the problem much worse come this Winter, as he gable wall now has no protection at all. Upon speaking to the builder in July, I was informed that the access he needed from his neighbour's house to fix this problem had been denied as they had had a falling-out and his neighbour told him that he would never be allowed access to fix the wall, which leaves us with a very large problem as we need to sell but can't until this problem has been fixed.
