Bett Homes sister company Manor Kingdom, who are all now under the 'Gladedale' banner, 'took the decision' to demolish two detached villas at Kip Marina, Inverclyde.

Was the decision taken to demolish because even they couldn't do a fix up job? Who knows? At least they didn't take a leaf out of Bett Homes book who do tend to cover significant defects up (see the previous posts about my house). Will we ever get the real story? I doubt it.
One question would be - what were Manor Kingdom doing in between the time of the storm 12 January 07, which brought down a gable end from one of their other buildings at the Kip Marina,

and 17 March 07? Trying to cover the problems up? I wonder?
Bett Homes Customer Care Manager :lol: told me that once the roof was on a house it was structurally sound and could take all loads applied to it including wind load. Obviously not in this case. He never did prove that he was a Structural Engineer or that he was qualified to make such comment.
