Hi i was wondering if someone could advice me on my current predicament.
my girlfriend bought an apartment around 6 months ago. She bought the apartment over the entrance to gates. When buying the apartment she was told by the auctioneer that the gates would not be a problem in this day and age.
However the gates have been troublesome every since buying the property. They are hydraulicly powered have been given off a buzzing noise, along with bangs, with a vibration to go with it as well. The builder had been contacted and has had engineers out to work on them. They have made some progress but 4 months on there is a noise that still presists. As of last week, the builder has been in contact and now says having had the architect out and along with his sound engineer, he feels the noise from the gates in adequate. When the sound engineer means adequate, this means he has come to this conclusion from standing beside the gates and not going anywhere near the apartment.
I am wondering if anyone would have any advice. I cannot believe the builders can try and wash their hands of the situation already.
Also i would like to say that there is one other neighbour that lives in the same position over the gates but he does seem bothered! I bring this up as without his support, the situation seems like that the builders have come to the conclusion that they dealing with just difficult people.
