I moved into a semi detached house over 5 years ago.
I was told by the builder/developer that he intended to move into the attached semi when he finished building mine.
Five years on and the house next door is still derelict and only the frame of the house is finished. As a result the property is going into a state of disrepair. The garden is attracting vermin and in summer dry timber and grasses go on fire during the dry spells. This is worrying because I was away once when this happened and only for the help of another neighbour who extinguished the fire. Who knows what would have being the outcome. The house is also attracting anti social behaviour from local kids.
I have asked the builder to sell the property to me if he has no intention to move in or finish it. He tends to brush me off with some excuse that he will finish it in the future. Now he won't answer my calls.
So the question is where do I start to get the ball rolling in regards to making him responsible for this property or acquiring the property myself ie.adverse possession.
I have know idea where the builder lives and doubt he he still uses the mobile no I have for him as it always rings out.
Any advice would really be appreciated.
Thanks in advance Bo-jangles
