Handover is meant to be next thurs but alas CBA and W are working together i am sure and their mission is to annoy the crap out of me. I still have no invoice for the occupancy cert nor any answer from HO to what is going on. Same thing happened to us got out letter after we did the walk through and the valuer at cba is taking his sweet *** time to do. I just hope they both pull through. Can i ask how long it took everyone to get their occupancy cert from W? Re: wisdom home@ spring farm-concerns for after handover wor 642Mar 16, 2010 8:09 pm I told commenwealth to stick it, I will give them the final OC when I am ready. If they can stuff me around for weeks on end, Im sure they wont mind me not giving them the OC. We still only have an interim OC, won't get the final till the front landscaping is done, which wont be for a while Re: wisdom home@ spring farm-concerns for after handover wor 643Mar 16, 2010 8:58 pm Hi Waylow, Sorry should have been more clear how long did it take for you guys to get your interim cert? I sent another email to W tonight so they better answer me... !!!

Mind you - we have to wait until the landscaping is finished to get the OC - could be ages! After 4 years - we're in!

CBA won't budge without an occupancy cert? It took me about 10 mins, went to SBAC and payed them the fee, got it faxed out the next morning. Their office is in Chipping Norton. Might as well go through them yourself, don't rely on Wisdom! Only reason I got the interim was so we could get bins. I told CBA to get stuffed and pay the final invoice, I had enough of them stuffing us around and told them I will give them the final OC when I am ready to. If they want the Interim, give that to them and give them the same reasoning. I know what you mean about the valuer, ours was useless, he rang me asking for new plans and contracts, because he never saw the steps in the house, that were in our original plans. Needless to say I had a few four letter words to say to him! Lucky he rang our broker for my number first cause he warned him I was irate! Re: wisdom home@ spring farm-concerns for after handover wor 648Mar 17, 2010 7:15 pm Hi Waylow, We have already gone through wisdom i rang SBAC today asking why this is taking so long and they said Wisdom haven't even put in a request. So i sent 2 very nice emails to wisdom and they said they will have it to my by Friday. I don't understand why its taking so long Our valuers went out today I am hoping they don't screw us around too... Did you guys have any probs like 1stimer when you moved in? Re: wisdom home@ spring farm-concerns for after handover wor 649Mar 19, 2010 11:30 pm UPDATE: Ok well bad news is we still don't have the interim from W when they said they would have to it us by Fri to send to the bank, Good news CBA valuation is fine and we didn't need an OC after all that they said that my broker can just sent them an undertaking letter stating he will send through the oc when we have it and that he approves the final payment to be made. Be really really helpful if my broker himself told me this instead of sending me into panic mode. But after a stressful week we have the green light to get out cheque on Wed and move in that day. So as of Wed 24th we will officially be fellow spring farmers for good. p.s we got a call from our neighbour who needs a retaining wall and has said he has hit a financial spot and he can't afford a fence at the moment. No sure what to do i just don't want to take his word that he will pay us back....
