I have details of a new development on which the houses are finished,
yet the developer is stipulating (via the estate agent contact) that
completion will not be possible until or after 1st July. Why would
this be? Of course, I have asked the agent this question, but the
answer is still outstanding. I had it confirmed verbally that the
houses will remain empty and vacant until that date. Sounds strange,
doesn't it?

It might just be for tax reasons or because there is some planning
condition that the houses may not be occupied until ... [highway
improvements, social facilities etc]

Yes, I have just received further information, to whit: Completion
cannot take place until then for taxation reasons.

Doesn't sound quite so dodgy now!
