A Gweru property developing company has lost property after one of its clients successfully claimed her dues in court after failure by the company to avail a house as agreed.
Sunday News reported that Tinshel Properties and Construction was dragged to court by one of its clients Vongai Chihanga who then obtained a writ of execution to sell one of the company's property. The company's property was attached after Tinshel failed to repay Chihanga $5 900, resulting in her demanding over $6 000.
In the particulars of the claims Chihanga claimed that Tinshel backtracked on a deal where the company had agreed to construct a house for her at a cost of about $14 000.
"Sometime in January 2013, Plaintiff joined the housing project offered by the Defendants and was offered a residential stand in Montrose, Gweru at the purchase price of $2 000.
"Defendants undertook to build a five-roomed house for Plaintiff at a cost of $14 000 which amount was to be paid in monthly instalments of $205.
"Defendants later advised that the purchase price for the house they were constructing had increased to $37 000 then reduced it again to $30 000," reads part of the letter of demand.
