Evening All,
Due to our builder from NBG, not meeting the contract build time, we will be claiming damages. The contract states $200 a week- I was not happy with that when we signed and tried to negotiate to cover our rent, but not suprisingly, the don't do negotiations!!!
anyway, we got some great advice from the building commission in Victoria and they told me that it was an 'unfair term' as I didn't really agree to it and they did not negotiate. We are going to write to the builder to state that we intend to claim damages of $350 a week toc over our rent from the final payment. If he does not agree to this now we will be sumbitting a claim to VCAT post final payment to recover costs where we have an excellent chance of getting the full amount.
Just wondering if anyone has been down this path (or similiar).
To be honest, I'm fed up and want my house!!!!
cheers, Anthea
