D&B - It's not a truely independant building inspector as at the end of the day Henley pay their bills, but they are an external company and as nswreview said, l think it is a step in the right direction. The only reason l mentioned that point was because the smaller building company that we were previously going to use did not provide anything like this. Something is better than nothing l suppose! nswreview - l wish you weren't treated so badly and you sound like a very strong person to be able to go through all of that and come out the other end with your marriage and sanity still in tact. l just felt like all l read was negative things about Henley and l just wanted to give my perspective on our dealings with them. l just want to try to be open minded and take this whole new home building thing as it comes. It is an eye opener when you are new to it all! Thanks, Leonda Re: Any good/bad experiences with Henley? 20Mar 15, 2007 12:57 pm Leonda,
