I have just visited the West Side Village website to find that the apartment I am buying is now smaller and with a COMPLETELY different layout. I rang West Side and they said that Seddons should have contacted me because the layouts where changed about 4 - 6 weeks ago.
West Sides's new website also has a section on transparacy and how open they are. As quoted by Stephen Smith: "We wish to hide nothing from our buyers and to make the process as seamless as possible" He has obviously forgotton about the fitted kitchen and wardrobes that they are no longer supplying, free beach access that now may be chargeable.......the list could go on.
I have spoken to Seddons and they said that the developer did send revised plans but they where informed to continue with the original plans. They also said that they understood these plan changes to be minimal and they would not effect any room layouts or square footage. So they have not contacted anyone. Seddons have reassured me that the developer can not make the proposed changes without informing all concerned. I understood that bulding work started earlier this year which would mean the new plans are in place as the revised layout for my apartment is a totally different shape. I also originally had 1 terrace, I now have 2 and they are on a different side of the room to the original plans. Our apartment is in Block B and is a unit 1 - 1 bedroom.
If these new plans are to go ahead we will be seeking major compensation if we still go ahead.
