Hi all
Getting legal advice is probably the best thing right now. I think Mick has a good idea when he says get together and forming a working group. You can pm each other off this site and get each other's emails then see if you can find more people to join in. The group can then hire a lawyer to act for you all.
Those who want to continue to buy the property, contact the person I gave you as he believes he can help on the mortgage front.
Meanwhile it is very tricky posting names on a forum. A forum is treated as if what you are saying were in print. This can lead not only to claims of slander but is most likely to lead to claims of defamation. Defamation is the one area of law where innocent until guilty does not apply. If a forum (and usually the forum owner) were taken to court for defamation, they would have to prove what was said were true (not the agent having to prove what was said as false). You can imagine this would present huge difficulties to a forum. Defamation cases are most often won by the complainant. Unfortunately, there has been much abuse of free speech on the internet, especially on forums, so it is not surprising there are these cases. Therefore it is the most sensible thing for a forum not to allow names in posts of this nature.
Hoping you all get this sorted out.
Best wishes
