A buyer says she loses her entire £108,000 deposit after buying an off-plan apartment based on designs for a new development. The accounts describe Jasmine, 38, who expected to take possession of a two-bedroom flat but instead ends up without the funds she put down.
The reporting refers to a modern apartment building known as Westgate House, describing amenities such as a 24-hour concierge, onsite gym, sauna and steam room, a café, cinema room and shared lounges. Both outlets present the case as an example of the risks associated with off-plan purchases, but they do not present detailed information in the shared excerpts about the legal or financial reasons for the loss. The coverage focuses more on the buyer’s experience and outcome than on broader market context or official responses.
While the two sources align on the core elements—the off-plan purchase, the Westgate House development, and the claimed £108,000 deposit loss—their framing differs mainly in phrasing rather than substance, offering similar allegations without additional corroborating detail in the provided text.
