ladybirder: the age old problem regarding unscrupulous site owners I'm afraid, they either want the home for their own mark up, or to put a new home on the pitch to make a hefty profit. The 10% commission they get upon sale is a lot less than the profit on a new or marked-up home. The new laws are making some attempt at eliminating this practice but sadly the park home industry has done little.
grasscarp: yes, it's been a bad experience, particularly as the buyer ended up paying TWO lots of commission. The site owner had the first payment made to a third party, and then denied all knowledge of it.
woofgang: yes I will get some further legal advice as things progress. I've kept our residents association [who liaise with the appropriate council] involved with all developments. Buyer B's bank is currently investigating the double commission issue, but can only push so far as the buyer knowingly made the payment, albeit through deception.
So, coming back to my original questions, is there anything I could claim for, ignoring the council's concerns, and the buyer's commission issue?
