Hi all,
Just wondering how people went with doing some items after handover and how that affected their final payment from their bank.
Westpac has a turn key loan meaning they won’t pay the final draw down payment until the house is turn key. However, we are doing the main flooring externally as the builder markup for timber floors was huge. We also are doing painting and curtains after handover.
Our builder is incredibly reluctant to let our tradies come in to complete the floors as they don’t want issues with responsibility of damage.
Has anyone had issues with their final payments from the bank because they haven’t considered your house finished or ‘turn key’? Did your builder let you in to complete these items before handing over the keys?
Thanks!
