Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Hotondo Homes 5Jul 14, 2016 4:08 pm Ive finally started talking to builders, yesterday was the 2nd builder and it was Hotondo. Being a franchise worries me, I was reading a few comments about their local builder going bust and HO not coming to the party - has anyone any thoughts on how to check out their local builder/franchisee to do some due diligence? good luck!

Hotondo is one of the very successful franchise... who is your local franchise or where you planning to build? Ask a question on Hotondo Homes Facebook page. I have noticed in other forums they are very responsive to queries. Re: Hotondo Homes 7Jul 14, 2016 4:25 pm Check out the Dept of Fair Trading to see if there has been any complaints lodged against them. There is a section on their website that allows you to look this up. I think you can also do this with the ACCC to see their past business history as well.

I signed my contract and paid the 5% deposit last Friday Re: Hotondo Homes 11Jan 12, 2017 6:08 pm My wife and I are pretty much decided on Hotondo Central Coast. All I can say is, what fantastic people that run that franchise. Very welcoming, helpful, go far beyond what they have to, to accomodate you. They include stuff as standard which for other builders would be an upgrade. Very happy at this point with Hotondo, it's franchisee and the overall product.

I've just joined this forum to do a little research on builders and hotondo central coast is the one I'm most interested in, so that's great to hear!

I am building in regional Victoria Cool, I am waiting for my land to go on sale then I will sign on the dotted line with Hotondo. How's your experiences with Hotondo been so far Re: Hotondo Homes 17Jan 16, 2017 12:52 am I've only spoken to Lyndsey, but she was extremely helpful over the phone, even went to have a look at the land we're interested in and sent some photos (haven't seen it in person yet, hoping to on Tuesday). So my first impressions have been awesome! We're looking at Wadalba, and wanting to build a duplex, haven't decided on the design as yet, possibly the Aon duplex with changes to make one 4bed. scottwilkos1711 Where you building Adele?
