Barbara Galbraith struggles with the steps to her flat in Downpatrick but cannot sell due to a land dispute.
Barbara Galbraith struggles with the steps to her flat but cannot sell because the land is unadoptedA woman with a mobility impairment has said she feels isolated and trapped in her home.
The roads and sewers in Hunter's Mill have never been adopted - which means they are not maintained by the government. Solicitors will often advise a client not to proceed with a purchase without this in place and banks can be reluctant to mortgage the house.This is meant to protect the interests of buyers by providing a source of funding to allow the government to complete the roads and sewers to an adoptable standard when the developer has failed to do so.
In relation to Hunter's Mill, DfI said it still wanted to deliver "a permanent long-term solution, which demonstrates value for money"."Ground conditions at Hunter's Mill remain the issue and the only feasible option, given the continuing settlement at the site, is to carry out the repairs once ground conditions have settled, which may not be until 2030.
She said: "My solicitor phoned at the last minute and said the house couldn't be sold because the roads and sewers weren't adopted.She added: "Every time I talk about it, I just want to cry. "Darren Kearney started to notice issues with the path sinking around his house "The government needs to step in and either buy us out of our properties and allow us to move on or fix the situation."Darren Kearney has had problems with cracks in the wall of his house
