Property Developers need to be held to Account!

Porcelain Property Developer

When you buy a new property on a new site, you usually expect your Property Developer to build to the highest standard and finish the job.

Far too many developers get away with shoddy jobs or leave jobs unfinished, often taking the easiest and cheapest route out!

Leaving residents to foot the bill in often hefty maintenance and leaseholder charges.

Here in the Porcelain the developer has built on the former porcelain site and has left the site with some rather concerning issues!

When the old canal Wall was rebuilt by the property developer, it was built poorly

The Wall is now bowing out and in danger of eventually falling down! This poses a danger to canal boat users!

The Metal Railings are falling apart, and the ground is sinking, this is a big concern to residents who were initially been asked to foot the bill for these faults by the developer, residents have contacted us and we are taking action! We need to hold developers to account!

Action: Developer Contacted to advise of issues

Royal Porcelain- Abandoned Building and Gulls

The site of the former Porcelain Factory was once a proud heritage asset for our city, sold of years ago to a national builder Berkley Homes. To one side it is occupied and to the other you could be forgiven to think that it was an abandoned haunted house in the woods which time has forgotten. Over time rats/Gulls and Pigeons have taken over the building causing a huge nuisance to the local residents the roof collapsed and some action was taken to board up the windows. Residents have contacted us and we have taken action – We have been in contact with enforcement officers to ask them to serve notice on the developer to put new windows in and to restore it to its former glory. We have also been in contact with Gull control officers to ask them to implement gull control measures in the area. Developers must be held to account and not just scarper from a site once they have made their money. We will be writing to the developer to express our concerns and to ensure th
