Shandon Par Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Saw a while back he’d been struggling to sell his house. He should have got @Shandon Parin to give it a pre-sale makeover IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It's pretty remarkable how a house builder can go bust when it's clear as day people will pay a premium for shoddily built new builds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I heard they're exposed to some major liabilities on some developments in the North of England that used a lot of flammable cladding. Stewart Milne offered to buy the company back if the liabilities were waived and was told to f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 200 people lose their jobs and the Beeb top the story with people living on a building site rather than the folk now not getting paid. Unreal. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) There is something inherently rotten about this. I can't imagine Milne and his cohorts will be suffering financially. They will have their millions invested elsewhere. Tories do as Tories do, look after number one. Horrible excuses for human beings.

They are taking on the responsibility of fixing defects on work done by another firm, of course they will put a margin on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal. Would you rather lose your job or pay £300k plus for a house that will be on a building in perpetuity? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't buy a house on a building site... Their choice to do so, must have considered the risk, given even if the company stayed in business it would be a building site for a while. No one chooses to lose their job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it’s a risk getting into a job that can be very boom and bust if you want to play it that way. Also you aren’t always spoilt for choice with a house to live in considering supply and demand issues. In an ideal world we would all live in an older house that was built to last that had some lovely character about it as opposed to a housing estate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
