We sold our house last year and the intention was to move into a new build. However, it wasn't ready by the time we were due to move out and our buyer needed to move in so we said we can live in our static for 4 weeks. 17 months later we are still here as the new build ran into a lot of delays around legal stuff and drains etc.
So where does this leave us ? we haven't got a permanent address.
I have made several assumptions - that the new build is either bricks&mortar OR a residential park home, being sold off-plan, and that you have paid a deposit and signed a contract to purchase. I have also assumed that you are a cash buyer, or that if bricks&mortar a mortgage offer that has been extended.
Did you use your own solicitor for the purchase?
If so, they need to be seriously chivvied to get some definite answers.
If you did not use your own solicitor, then it may be a good idea to find one with experience in the type of property that you are purchasing.
It is very common for new builds to overrun, sometimes by quite a large margin - but this is more often due to supply shortages, bad weather etc.
The reasons you mention (legal stuff, drains, etc) suggest that the homes were being sold before the seller had made proper checks on the intended site.
The solicitor acting for your purchase should have made sure that the contract had clauses to protect you in the event of excessive delays - 17 months and ongoing seems excessive to me, and it is unreasonable to expect you to stay in a holiday static with no idea when you can move to a real home.
If it was me, I would be looking for a full refund of any moneys already paid and a full penalty-free release from the contract to enable me to look elsewhere.
In the current market (all types of property) you would now be in a very strong position to negotiate a good price on something that is ready for you to move into now.
