Bought a piece of land with FNB. issue is thier attoneries did not disclose that they went ahead to deeds with an incomplete subdivsion.Which is a bank requirement finance only legal properties. City of Johannesburg did an audit and they disconnected services,as we speak my house is without legal electriclity and water.City of Johannesburg.Inittialy did not want to take responsibility for over 3 years.Public Protector took the case only then they agreed that the subdivsision is illegal they mixed sectional and full title among other issues were rates that they could not render . PP is looking at the case with monitor COJ to fix the mess. I did a second bond with FNB now they demand I clear rates while PP is looking at the case. Thier lawyers dont see anything wrong and they say we have to clear them even if the case id wth PP. Please advice we are only liable when the subdivsion legal and COJ reconnected services.
