Well I live in MG house and they told me they are not interested in these

they are not doing any more development in the area.

You'll need that in writing when you come to sell, if the buyer's
solicitors are doing their job, as a friend of mine recently
found out. His developer charged something like £25 for the letter,
but as you say, couldn't actually care less about the modifications.
