The crash in property prices has resulted in some buyers being unable to secure mortgages to cover the cost of flats that were agreed when prices were still high.

The company said it had been talking to the customers and had offered incentives for them to complete the purchases but agreement had not been possible.

Those incentives are believed to have included discounts to the original agreed price.

Harcourt Developments holds the development rights for the huge Titanic Quarter site.

The residential aspect of the development is an apartment project called the Arc.
