Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 01, 2009 3:06 am Hi, just wondering if anyone has any recent reports on Hermitage Homes.
We have been checking out many many builders to build on our tarneit block, but today we had a look at Hermitage and they actually gave us a price on the display home, as is, all features, on our own block, and it didnt seem like too bad a deal. Just wondering does anyone want to warn us off them? thanks in advance, Brian. Re: Hermitage Homes 2Feb 01, 2009 3:43 am May I ask you which plan you are looking at and what price they give you ~ "as is" ~ When you said "as is", does that include the timber decking & landscaping or just whatever inside the house? What about downlights? What about the nice feature light or windows, etc?
When I asked them about current promotion, they mentioned they have none at the moment; and instead, there is no progressive payment (only deposit and final payment).

Thanks for the info, I will look into that. Its the shiraz, i'm going back today to write down everything thats in the display home, and then speak to him about everything, but it would have included pretty much everything like downlights, kitchen cupboards, etc. im doubtful on the decking, as theres no alfresco on the plan, but i'll speak to him and let you know the outcome, he did say driveway as well. about 175k Re: Hermitage Homes 5Feb 01, 2009 11:37 am I would not go with them in a million years
Im building next door to them and let me say there work is unbelievable had so many problems with their contractors its not funny, but your decision you might get lucky. A few issues have been that poor that its in the hands of the police as we speak Re: Hermitage Homes 6Feb 26, 2009 5:05 pm We built with hermitage about 3 and 1/2 years ago. Personally I wouldn't build with them again!! I'd get their plans and build through someone else.
We love our house, but the hassles we had were never ending. Still waiting for the 13 week inspection to be completed!! lol You may have better luck with different subbies and site managers. Hopefully they have dumped their admin staff, they were useless. We had to chase them every step of the way, even to the point where the house was robbed (ducted heater and all tapware taken), we knew more about what had happened, thanks to the local paper and neighbours, than they did when we rang to find out what had happened. I wouldn't say don't build through them, but just perpared to do a lot of hassling . Good luck.

I had a patient of mine build her house with Hermitage, after pulling out of NBG. She's ecstatic with the house! I think she built in Melbourne's west.
