Hi all - its been some time since my last post - so here's an update for those interested. Like GForce and others I was close to lockup stage when the company went into liquidation - I submitted my claim to Lumley's with my quotes and following their assessor's findings was paid out. I took over as ...

Wow, what bite DoFT have :lol: - WMH must be pooping themselves - given the length of this saga for all of us and the number of complaints over the last year, they have finally, and only in response to media pressure, given WMH (ANOTHER) month to respond as to why they should not be disciplined....a...

Looks like I'll have to my own SS'ing - and with a bit of guidance from those who really know what they're doing at WMH (hi ladies) I might even get the thing completed - should have done it this way from the start. Can't say I blame the guy, he only started with them several months ago and must hav...

Dear Ryan I suspect at this stage you have only put down a holding deposit on your selected home? If you decide not to go ahead you can go via a Section 96 but it will take time, obviously. The ATO matter is now apparently resolved. The DOFT are virtually powerless and I am unable to help with the r...

Hi all, just thought I'd check in and advise I too got the now infamous "letter" from Barry & Michael Thurecht and it appears it has had a range on impact on those that did receive it. It was not difficult to read between the lines and it obviously scared some and riled others. I am gl...

Hi Bel Hmm... still not sure of this SS – seems amicable enough and has inherited a few problems left by his predecessor but not really happy with the solutions – which seem to be the path of ‘least cost’ to them to correct and the results are less than favourable, so keep an eye on things. I have l...

Hi all Well it appears that WMH have settled their accounts with the ATO and the matter has been withdrawn. In addition, from what I have been told, there is now a concentrated effort to finish oustanding projects - and I suspect that means all of us here and a couple more. I am glad to say that a f...

Hi Jande The link is https://www.comcourts.gov.au/file/Federal/P/NSD843/2011/actions - open up the tabs for more info. I expect that an adjournment will be sought by WMH to buy a bit more time, this is quite normal - question is, is to get the $ needed to pay the tax man or just putting off the inev...

Well looks like its been a while since anyone has posted on this apparently dying topic - a shame really given it was probably the only available means by which we WMH victims could communicate and share our wonderful experiences with this highly professional company. Just to let those of you that a...

Hi all Glad to hear some of you are getting at least half baked efforts from our chosen builder. In regard to my mediation meeting with DOFT and WMH - as positive as the result it was, the true outcome is yet to be seen. It's one thing to get an order made and another for the builder to comply - I w...

Well I am glad to see that the Forum is back and running. It also appears from the posts removed/edited that I am one of the culprits - yoohoo! ::: I must say though that I am a little disappointed in the reasons such comments caused such a concern - these tests seem highly subjective and there is n...

Hi again all In regard to Home Warranty Insurance (springtime) – don’t know too much about the eligibility to make a claim, although I know it is there to protect the consumer – I must find out more. Makes sense that it would cover the cost of finishing/repairing the house should the builder be unab...

Hello fellow WMH Clients (read, "fellow poor sods") Sorry I have been off line or while with work and did not responded to some pm's. Off again tomorrow for a few days. To answer springtime's question: Our initial 36 week contract ended the 9 December 2010, albeit I count the 36 weeks from...

Hi all As a few of on this forum have voiced your concerns about freely expressing your views just in case you might breach defamation laws, I have provided this link for your information. http://www.legal.unsw.edu.au/factsheets/defamation.html Defamation laws changed in Jan 2007 in an attempt to un...

Hi all Thanks for the responses and PM’s in regard to my initial post and for the warnings not to give too much away on the forum. I actually hoping that WMH are lurking here. For the last 15 months I have watched what I hoped would be the creation of our dream home turn into a nightmare at the hand...

Greetings all - yet another frustrated WMH customer joins the forum (should had done so ages ago) As my 1st this is a long post but I have a bit to say. QUICK HISTORY: Deposit Dec 09 / We moved out in Feb 10 and renting since / last minute council delays because WMH did not know that our council did...
