Our house sale fell through today, essentially due to a developer putting in a planning application to demolish our next door neighbour’s house and replace it with a block of 8 flats.
He doesn’t own the house, nor does he have an accepted offer on it, but apparently anyone can put in a planning application on a property irrespective of ownership. Which just seems crazy to me.
We’re now essentially stuck until our neighbour finds a buyer. The house has been on the market for nearly 6 years.
