🏢💦 Meridian Tower: A Leaky Dream? 🌧️
Once a beacon of modern luxury, Swansea’s Meridian Tower is now a nightmare for its owners. Plush flats with breathtaking bay views drew investors in, but endless issues tarnish this idyllic image. From catastrophic leaks to windows that refuse to stay in place, landlords are in despair. 😟
Since its completion in 2009, the tower’s past has been rocky, including a tragic scaffolding accident and even an armed siege! The troubles persisted in 2019 when leaseholders were hit with bills due to fire-proofing defects. Fast forward to today, consistent leaks leave some landlords nearly £100,000 out of pocket. 💸
A leaseholder shared, “From day one we’ve had rainwater leaking. Fixing these flaws has been a band-aid solution. Our flat faces Port Talbot and bears the brunt of the weather. Windows have come loose, letting in the cold and wet.” 🌧️🤦
Attempts to patch things up are ongoing, but fixing the root problem remains elusive. Costs continue to climb with little relief in sight, leaving many flats empty or rented at a loss.
MQMC promises a comprehensive fix is underway, but for now, uncertainty looms over residents hoping to reclaim their towers from despair. 🏗️🔧
Is there hope on the horizon, or will this symbol of luxury remain a stormy investment? 🌦️💼 #Swansea #MeridianTower #PropertyProblems #UKLiving
