Browse Forums Building A New House Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 121Aug 30, 2017 12:09 pm Yes grateful to have her just hoping they will get to clean that lot now that they know they wont get out of it. Its not going to be an easy or cheap job, and might be why they try to delay cleanup Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 123Aug 30, 2017 5:16 pm So the lot has been slaahed but sadly the rubbish is still there (woiden pallets, plastic chairs and other concrete /building waiste) Conveyancer emailed vendors conveyancer so now waiting to hear back (funny how quick they can be if they have to wait fir their money) Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 124Aug 31, 2017 9:59 am Vendors waiting for other builder to remove their waste (one the was building next to our lot last) Conveyancer said it might not be removed prior to settlement but if not will get it in writing that it has to be removed within a week from settlement She is hoping to settle tomorrow Will probably hear later today if its been confirmed Really hope we settle tomorrow Hasbeen to long a wait for the vendor around 3weeks from final stage of council aproval and formal loan approval Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 126Aug 31, 2017 10:31 am Oh my gosh the vendor is trying to pin it on us snd saying rubbish came to lot after we signed so we are responsible for it???? Lucky i have a photo that predated the signing of the contract that inducates the rubbish there. Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 127Aug 31, 2017 11:06 am i would have thought the date that matters is settlement date and not signing date as they still own teh land up until settlement sounds like they really dont want to pay for the removal Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 128Aug 31, 2017 11:12 am Thats what we said But apparently from the date we sugned we are responsible for it? I did ask the why we were not allowed to build then if we are responsible for it with no answer... But we took photos dating 19/4 Build contract was signed 20/4 Land contract was only received and signed 13/5 So i think they have been schooled... Photos was initially take to indicate a street name post that was in the way of where driveway would be with building plans and lucky for us shows the building rubble too Still dont get how we were responsible for the land from the day we signed? They said during building your not allowed on sit but no limit after signing land contract witch is contradictory really and are being bend to suit them Apparently if rubish was dumped there after signing we have to deal with it not them (bit strange since we don't owe the land yet) but anyway we had photos indicating they have to deal with it So conveyancer has said we can settle tomorrow with them giving in writing that it will be removed within a week from settlement. She is awaiting their reply now. So we wait again. Was told between everything the vendor says you can areas for council to pick it up for free...(then why dont they do it through council then) i know because building rubble and green waiste is not part of the free hard rubish pickup council offers!!! (We did find out prior to going through the hassle of holding them responsible to remove it). So we wait again Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 129Aug 31, 2017 6:35 pm So lucky we had emails (our conveyancer) that vendor said they will slash lot ad remove rubbish prior to settlement. We provided date stamped photos showing rubbish at start that we asked about and our conveyancer was told will be removed and done prior to settlement in an email. We send through the photos this afternoon and all rubbish was removed plus slashed snd poisoned! And vendor informed us they are ready to settle tomorrow yay! Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 131Aug 31, 2017 7:12 pm Think so Oh man they were really pushing us Felt like walking away and cut our loses with clean the lot But hubby was determined to wait till they clean before they get $$ Its crazy, all the time waisted! Lol lucky we had time on our side since contract settlement date was 3 october But they did try hard to not do anything Big relief can't wait to get it over with lol Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 134Sep 01, 2017 12:23 pm good to hear that you had the email trail. and yay - it is today!! hope it all goes through smoothly Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 136Sep 01, 2017 12:39 pm you should have a picnic and some bubbles on your block to celebrate - so exciting!! Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 139Sep 01, 2017 2:00 pm Conveyancer informed hickies of settlement Now we wait to hear back. Can anyone say how long they waited after settling was confirmed with hickies to get any info off building or when it will start?
