Both 01 and 02 are supposed to have received offers.

How many offers have already fallen through? Just another turn on the merry go round of updates. The last 2 months worth of updates across the board have been all over the place. Some don’t appear to be related to the loan they have been posted against, others, as has been mentioned, have no continuity with what’s been posted in previous updates. It’s just so confusing. The clock keeps ticking, recoveries don’t materialise and communication gets worse .

If you drive 50 metres past junction 30 on the M5 going south and look to your right across a small field at the back of this development you will see that part of our security has fallen down in the last few days (and I don't mean a fence panel)

So, for the benefit of those of us whose ideal curiosity doesn't justify a six hour round trip, Streetview shows the situation as of last August.
I presume work has not progressed since then.
Would a guess on the issue being the part-completed building be fair? If so, then I'm not sure it's a great loss if it was open to the weather all winter - the structure will probably have been compromised enough to justify demolition anyway.
Looks from the updates like it's two years since the last actual work on site...

If you drive 50 metres past junction 30 on the M5 going south and look to your right You will see Exeter rugby club.
The development is not visible from the motorway.

agent69 I’m sorry to contradict you, but you are incorrect on the above. The entire development is visible from the M5 motorway immediately after Exeter RFC, and now shows part of the house at the southern (M5) end in a heap of rubble.

Odd-looking rugby club. But it does bear marked similarities with the pics on the loan. Mods - can I suggest that, if this is viewed as sailing close to identifying, then it might be better moved to DD than binned?

Jeez - who's going to buy one of those houses having seen one fall down and the recent bad press about new house building flaws. I wouldn't.

I was regularly using the M5 last year and do not recall ever seeing the houses (must have been busy looking at the road). Are you certain they didn't cut the adjacent hedge just for your visit?
The whole situation is unfortunate given that the houses that are nearing completion look very nice, but half the development has been sat there part constructed and open to the elements for 2 years. There must have been a better way to handle the situation

The properties have been visible from the M5 for quite a long time. It was more than a year ago that I first realised that they were the properties for DFL001 - I'd seen them before that but didn't initially click that they were the relevant properties. I use this part of the M5 every couple of weeks or so as I live within 15 miles of Exeter. I did once try to find the properties by going into the new housing estate which they are on the edge of, but got utterly lost with all the new roads. I may try again when I have time. If I am a passenger in the car next time we go past the houses I will try to take a photo.

I can confirm that the back of the house closest to the motorway has "collapsed". This is the one with breeze blocks in the windows. The others all looked complete in the few seconds I could see them.

Not such a big deal. See the photograph on Frank, Zappa 2/5/19.
