I purchased a property in Altinkum through a Real Estate agent and gave them Power of attorney.

I was told by the agent that the builder had completed the work and to send the final balance to the builder, which I did.

When I arrived at the property a few months later to collect my Tapu the property was not finished and the agent cannot get hold of the builder to complete the work.

The agent no longer wants to deal with me and so now I have been left with no water connection and lots of finishing to be done on the property which I have paid for already.

Can anyone tell give me any advice of what steps to take next or have been through a situation like mine.

What I don't understand is that if you give power of attorney to an agent why can't they be responible for getting the work done.

I did speak to a solicitor but I was told it is £100 per telephone call and really it is not worth doing becuase the builder can disapear.

Any advice would be very appreciated.
