I'be bought on Woodland Spring which I think is being built by the same company. We have just been informed that it is now due to complete in Autumn 2009, it should have completed in October this year, aparently there have been problems with the builders and they have switched contract. How is your apartment progressing?
Regards
Linda |

Hello John
When was yours supposed to have been completed,is it on time? Have you, or are you thinking of, going with the furniture package offered?
Was in Bansko in March and had a look at all the properties being build by this company (not sure if we are allowed to name names) and Boadicea Heights was not far on at all, impressive that they are progressing so well. Would you keep me informed how things progress please.
Regards
Linda |

Hi Linda
The 1st date issued for act 15 was 30Th Sept 08 but it was recently moved to 15Th December 08, we have 3 flights booked for Feb 09 ( to go skiing ) and we are assured act 16 will be passed by then to allow us possession of our apartment.
Regarding the furniture package, we have bought fully furnished so we will have to see ( regarding quality )
If you go into the developers web site you can see photo's
of the build progression on each of their projects |

Hi Paul
We've been skiing 4 times, but we still look like it's our first trip, if we get any info reguarding build progress i'll inform you A.S.A.P, hopefully visa versa.
By for now John |

It usually takes several months to go from act 15 to 16 and your schedule allows only 7 weeks, which include the Xmas vacation period. They've given you the date of 15th Dec because more than 3 months late and you could probably claim compensation. You also have to get the snagging list completed and the place furnished so I would give you a less than 5% chance of being in your own apartment. With half term starting on I think the 14th Feb, the place will be rammed. Why not delay a month? |

Ah well, the long summer holidays make up for it. But I would seriously consider having a back-up plan in case the developer tells you it won't be ready (or if it will be ready but there is no road etc etc) |

Hi again Mat
What's you're connection with Bansko ? are you a resident or do you own you're own apartment and visit, I'm desperately trying to contact anyone who has a link with Boadicea Heights or Bansko , in general, real information is hard to come by regarding the build progress of our apartment and or the infrastructure.
Thanks in anticipation John |

Hi there.
Anyone out in Bansko, fancies taking a couple of photo's of Boadicea Heights for us and mailing them on this discussion board.
We have now got to the point with our developers where they don't return emails or telephone calls, and have stopped posting build development photographs.
It makes me wonder if anything is being built
If anyone has the time or inclination please email back and we will give directions
Many thanks johnny boy |

Hi Wardie
Ive been trying to contact them today, I get through to the secretary and that's that, I'm just going to bombard them with calls and or emails to see if my persistence gets a result, as far as being worried about them I think they are understaffed for the work they've got, thus prioritising and pushing us to the end of the Que, the one that doesn't move.
If we all keep in touch, we have a better chance of sorting things out and understanding the situation.
Thanks John |

Hi, me again.
Still ringing, still emailing, still nothing.
How can people be so ignorant, I've just received photos of Boadicea (taken a week ago) and it looks exactly like the last picture in July, they have 2 months to 1st + 2nd fix 42 apartments, I don't think so, I wouldn't mind so much if someone would contact me with a reason or an excuse for their lack of progress. |

Very concerned now about my one bedroomed apartment, no progress, on standstill, had letter re. no progress, and at moment it is not getting built, as no money available, as they have only sold half of the apartments.
We have been in touch with solicitors Mariya and basically she has told us that we will have to wait, and if we pull out at this stage we will receive NO MONIES as BRITANNIA OVERSEAS PROPERTIES ARE BANKRUPTY AND ALL OUR MONIES ARE GONE DOWN THE SWANY BASICALLY.
FEEL SICK.

Hi, We are buying at Boadicea Heights, very concerned about the last posting regarding bankrupcy.
We have received a concerning letter asking us for the final payment on our appartment prior to the roof going on! They appear to be on stop at Bansko on our development, and they promise to re-start work if we forward the balance within 4 weeks. They appear to be having major 'cash flow' problems.
Not sure what to do now, we dont want to lose what we have already paid, but we also dont want to give them more of our cash and lose that as well!
What are other buyers doing, any advice for us out there? |

Hi Tess + Matt.
What we have to do is take things slowly and think things through carefully, any rash acts might make things worse, Britannia have a lot of money invested in these properties, the last thing they want is bankruptcy.
What I think we have to do is organise a meeting between us and the directors and talk things through.
What do you think Karen + John ~ Bodicea |

Dear Everyone
Please keep posting as I am in a similar position at Woodland Spring, though we are not at final payment yet. I agree with Tess and Matt, the last thing we need is for the company to go bankrupt as then we all loose out.
Regards
Linda

They have a lot of YOUR money invested in these properties - the building model of Bansko is so lucrative because they don't use bank credits but the staged payments of buyers. I'd be extremely wary of handing over any further money without a clear assessment by an independent engineer of what has been done, what remains to be done and guarantees (a UK bank guarantee would suffice) for the money they want. Otherwise they will pay themselves a massive bonus and go bankrupt anyway. The developers have already made their money - the usual deal is to set up a separate company which charges the development company 'management fees' during the build to extract the profit so they have really very little incentive to finish the job. |

Yes, it would be a good idea to meet & talk things through & assess whats sort of guarantees are on the table. However, we passed our e mail address onto Brittania & requested other buyers of Boadicea Heights to contact us. It appears that this hasnt happened which gives us even greater cause for concern.
Please keep us posted, but i guess Mat`s posting is good advice, & i suspect the bonus to the directors is a likely outcome if we hand over more cash. |

Hi, has anyone been contacted by Britannia apart from the letters they have sent out, I spoke to someone there yesterday and was told we would be contacted by one of the directors!!!! We are looking for positives, but finding it very difficult. We also agree a meeting with buyers and developers might be a way of easing this situation somehow; maybe I need to take off my rose coloured glasses and contact a solicitor! Please get in touch anyone in a similar position. |

Hi everyone trying to buy at Boadicea Heights.
We have also received a letter from Britannia and to be fair they have replied to both emails I have sent asking questions about the current proposal .
We have discussed the various options between ourselves but feel that we need to have contact with other buyers in the same position to see how they feel about the situation. Please contact us. |

Jane, I am buying at Woodlands Spring,from Britannia as your project at Boadicia is almost sold out have you asked the question ,where are the moneys gone from the project fund , they should have enough to complete the build, thats the reason we pay stage payments,also if they are asking for final payment at roof stage its worth asking them to set up a customer bank guarantee account, to secure everyones money at Boadicea,they do have plenty of assets in property to guarantee the bank if they default.good luck ,regards Paul. |

Hi, we have spoken to Britannia today and are feeling much better regarding building of Boadicea Heights, we have been reassured that hopefully the future will be brighter. Looking forward to February skiing in Bansko and maybe meeting new friends and a few neighbours! Keep in touch Karen and John. |
