Thanks what_the for the info. I'm pretty relieved at least there's some way to sort this out. I couldn't find the application form of 'unforseen delays' yet and maybe I could just keep track of your work with the SRO. I agree Villawood should come up with better reasons than inclement weather when the oval is already there now for site attraction under the condition.[code][/code]
Hi Alamandone.
Just a follow up and what I have found so far. I have spoken directly with the SRO and also Jeremy at Oliver Hume.
From what has been explained to me, I need to do the following:
* Obtain a letter from the developer (Villawood) stating the reason for the title delay from the original date projected.
* Obtain a letter from the builder (in my case H3nl3y) showing that my contract was signed and ready to proceed if the original date were to go ahead.
Supply both of these in writing to the SRO with a cover letter explaining the exact situation. For example; I was assured that titles would be ready in december when I paid my deposit for the block. I had signed my build contract on the 22nd of september so that I would be ready to proceed with the build and meet the 26 week deadline. Due to the developer delaying the titles which is an "unforseen circumstance" and beyond my control I will need to apply for an extension to the allowable time to fulfil the criteria obtaining the full FHOG.
Please note each case is reviewed on an individual basis and there is no gaurantee. However having spoken to the SRO rep and Jeremy they do look favourably on this.
Perhaps best getting in touch with the SRO yourself and speak to Oliver Hume to get the ball rolling. This way you can make sure you are covered and can afford yourself some peace of mind.
Hope that helps.
