Worst Consumer Experience Ever - 2 years of Pain

Read this before you consider buying off-plan from Lynn Estates. I have been through over 2 years of pain and have still not taken occupation of my apartment:<br> <br> On the 27.Feb.2013, I signed Offer- to-Purchase with Lynn Estates for a 2 Bed/2 Bath Unit, in an off-plan development, Ihita in Beverley, Lonehill, Johannesburg. It's been a fight for over 2 years with everyone from the current agent - Mc Donald (Lynn Estates), to the Manager in charge - Keith (Lynn Estates) to Lynne Petzer herself (Lynn Estates Owner) to the builders Manuel Ramos (Ramios Construction cc). All these people are unfortunately completely useless, ***********, lazy ,deceiving and *****.<br> <br> 1. The completion date of the unit has moved at least 2 dozen times.<br> 2. No disclosure on signing that the road that connects directly William Nicol Rd was to be closed. <br> 3. Builder not transparent about the fact that whole phase needs to be complete before transfer can take place.<br> Who knows how long this still could take? In the mean time I need to pay Occupational rent because of his delay.<br> 4. Builder not attending appointment that was set.<br> .... Lots more complaints<br> <br> DON'T EVER BUY OFF-PLAN FROM LYNN ESTATES

We would like to advise as follows. Lynn Estates were not the developers of the scheme but were appointed as the marketing agents by the developers.

We understand your frustration, but in our capacity as agent only we exerted much energy to get the developers to perform.

We are pleased that the unit has since been completed and transferred and can only apologise for the delay in delivering the project by the developers and their team.
