Registering a dispute on a property

[bengalensis]

How do I register a dispute against a 'national property developer' for the attention of potential buyers of the newly built houses to alert solicitors and buyers that there is a) a dispute b) litigation c) problems with drainage - ie. if you buy this house your drainage system is a) in dipute b) is possibly flooding other peoples property c) causing consequential damage.

Be very careful what you do do in case it could back on you for damage to their reputation if it turns out not in your favour.

If there is a dispute it should be disclosed or come up in pre-contract enquiries or replies to requisitions given on completion BUT most developers nowadays have a standard legal pack which is given to all purchasers via solicitors which deduces title, provide planning info etc... and they usually give a general information sheet and don't always answer the standard enquiries that would be raised and often provide replies to requisitions in the pack so it might not be picked up.

Is your home affected? If so you could get legal advice on trying to stop the drainage being used until resolved. Make sure you get proper legal advice on this and any potential ramifications though.

I understand what Jenna is saying but don't see how this type of dispute would come up.
Are you not saying, beng, that your house appears to have design problem with the drainage system? And one that you think is replicated across many houses built by this developer.
If so, it might be helpful to outline what the issue is. No names of components suppliers, no details of developers etc.
I'm asking this because houses are built to national Building Control standards, and whilst this doesn't cover every aspect, drainage design is quite well documented in BC documents (because non-one wants stinky drains).
It is perfectly possible if there is a back-up in a main sewer pipe for the liquids to flow back into a dwelling connected to the system - what is the design issue here?

Your request for more information

A developer has entered adjoining land/property without
permission. The developer has created drainage for their development on the property where no pre-existing drainage existed . The developer has brought their machinery onto the land without permission and caused damage. Creation of their 'new' drainage system is likely to cause flooding to other properties.
