"Residents of One Hyde Park - which in the past included celebs like Kylie Minogue and various billionaire tycoons - have won a decade-long court case over piping issues that cost 35 million. However, it may take years for the issues to be fully resolved, which could mean more construction work and disruption to come. According to building experts who weighed in on the case, the building work is highly complex and focuses on faulty soldered joints and butterfly valves in the buildings."
"Developed by Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy and his brother, along with various overseas partners, the ultra-luxe apartment complex features 84 high-end apartments, at least one of which retailed for 175 million. However, piping issues were discovered in 2014, just three years after the project's completion, triggering several years of discussions between residents and the building contractors responsible for the alleged installation failures."
One Hyde Park residents won a decade-long court case against contractors over corroded piping that caused leaks and cost 35 million. Faulty soldered joints and butterfly valves were identified as central problems, making remedial work highly complex. Contractors contested the pipes' disrepair and declined to attend the hearing, but stated they had attempted negotiations, offered compensation, and proposed free remedial work. Piping defects were discovered in 2014, three years after completion, prompting prolonged disputes and legal action against a Laing O'Rourke subsidiary. Repairs are expected to take years, producing more construction, disruption, and uncertainty for residents.
