what are your rights if your flat becomes unsellable?

Saw this today and it’s a bit worrying:

Sounds like people are stuck because of building defects/management issues and can’t sell.

Made me wonder though, what can you actually do in that situation? curious if anyone here has dealt with something similar or knows the legal side.

Also saw mention that these were sold as “luxury” flats and then there were plans to add an extra floor on top later… which would mean penthouse owners suddenly wouldn’t have one anymore?

Not sure how that even works legally if you've bought a penthouse and it's just taken away from you as the same company you bought your flat from just build on top on your flat?
