We were originally very interested in Plot 1 when we saw the map, so we decided to visit the site. Andy, the salesman, showed us the boundary lines, and everything seemed fine at first, so we paid the reservation fee.When we chose the kitchen, the sales lady told us we needed to pay the full £10,000 upfront and that it was completely non-refundable, even if our mortgage wasn’t approved. This felt extremely rushed and pressured.Because we were uncomfortable, we asked again about the boundary lines. The site manager then told us that Plot 1 would not have a side entrance, and that the garage wall actually belongs to Plot 2. This would mean that any changes we wanted to make would require permission from the owners of Plot 2. For a house advertised as “detached with a detached garage,” this clearly didn’t match what we were being told. Every other plot has a side entrance, but for some reason, Plot 1’s side access had been given to Plot 2. It didn’t feel fair at all.I am also a Blue Badge holder, which makes convenient parking essential. Instead, I would have had to park further away and carry everything to the house — completely impractical for my needs.We also received conflicting information about the front area. One person said the whole space up to the bend was ours, another said we only had half — and that we weren’t allowed to put up a fence. That would mean opening the door directly onto the main road, with people and dogs constantly passing and even dogs possibly fouling right in front of the house.Because of all these issues, and because the information kept changing, we felt that Plot 1 was going to be mis-sold to us. For this reason, we decided to reject the plot and not go ahead.
