Families have been left in a state of limbo and hundreds of pounds out of pocket due to major delays in moving to a new housing development. It is understood that 10 families are waiting to move into homes at the Edlogan Wharf estate in Torfaen but can't as a result of an ongoing legal matter related to a specific 'parcel' of land.
The homes affected by the delay are within the Barcud Coch phase of the Taylor Wimpey development. The company confirmed that they own the Edlogan Wharf site, including the land where these homes are built, but they have yet to disclose the legal dispute creating the delay for the families.
One resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said he and his partner bought their property in September 2021 and have been counting down the days since to move in. He said: "Our home was due to be completed originally between April and May of this year and despite several formal appointments with Taylor Wimpey - between then and April - we were not informed until April about the land dispute.
