We are building with Dennis Family Homes we signed up way back on the 15 Jan 09 so far we are STILL waiting for our contracts 5 months later!!!! We have a mortgage already two kiddies and one income and was told by DFH when we bought our block to get a max 3th settlement as they would be wanting to start around then, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE & now we are paying two mortgages and still not even building yet::sad::
We were told originally in the beginning that it would take 2.5 to 3 months for the contracts to come through then from there 3 weeks until site start............ mmmmmm that hasn't happened. I have rang endless times regarding our concerns/frustrations/anger, and just get told the same old thing " because of the first home buyers grant we have been really busy trying to get the FHB in first so they didn't miss out on the 30th June dead line! Even though we signed up before some people they were going to get their contracts B4 us "
One month ago after I threatened to pull the pin I was given a preliminary contract with a price FINALLY! and it showed a bit of a blow out in site cost we were told at most about $12000 due to the slope on our block but it came in at $17000 which totally shocked us apart from that all was ok. We actually started to feel the excitement again, BUT now one month later I still don't have the finial contract let alone a start date.
I have called the Melbourne General Manager and he has said by the 26th june I will have my Full contract back which I am to sign and return, it will then be sent for 5 star energy rating and house orders sent to our builder he has assured us that we will be building in 4 weeks
All I can say to this is " i have heard this statement about 10 times" this time I will not believe a word of it, I will believe it when I see a SLAB on my Block....
WHY DID I SIGN WITH THESE PEOPLE I HOPE THIS IS GOING TO BE WORTH IT IN THE END. I
