I still cannot find any joinery maker to complete my home theater, every joinery maker starts off saying they can do anything i want, but as soon as they see my design, they never return my email. some says it's easy to do after they saw my design, but never come back again cos they say "my CEO doesnot give me the permission to do it" 3. i will never recommend anyone to purchase in lightsview again, from my memory, i have brought more than 10 customers to lighsview, totaling over 6 millions worth of house. However, I have stopped doing this cos i felt sorry to recommend anyone to live here now. Lightsview found big lot is too hard to sell cos no one is willing to invest big money on here. There's reason for it, they kept on introducing cheap, low quality house package house that is around 300~450k. those houses are locates on the same street with the expensive houses. They never think how those 1 million dollar houses owners' feeling about living next to the crappy 300k houses. It affects the house value!!! simple. Talking to few agents that are selling houses in lightsview, it's really hard to sell the high end houses, none of the house owners make profit, they all lost a lot of money by keep reducing the house price in order to get rid out of it. Unless you wants to live here, then never invest here, invest somewhere else EAST, it's much better in return. How about if you want to live here?? well, you won't enjoy it too. one of the selling point about LV is the fast fibre internet, but a lot of places got that now. you need to put up with the building dirts/rubbishes and noises every day, probably another 10 years ( lightsview selling progress is way behind cos no one wants to buy here". It doesn't look as nice as it sounds too be. Ugly disgusting water view, park view, no community facilities...etc street parking everywhere when there's a sign says"no street parking", all the streets are small and narrow, it's so dangerous to drive home at night cos people just parking with no respect. Another stupidity is they live to randomly sell the lot, so for example, the difference of the first built house and last built house on the same street probably can have 5~8years in difference. The early built, like me, for example, i built first one on my street, lightsview is pretty nasty with me, i follow everything they want, but now my left and right neighbour no longer need to follow that. and Lightsview deny they forced us to do so. one is that you no longer need balconies on the road side, you can have your bedrooms extended. It made the rest of us really feeling stupid, there's no view on the street, we wanted no balconies but you forced us, and now my two neighbours have fully exteneded their bedrooms, there's no consistency. Another example is, I cannot know what my future next door's house gonna look like, i put the solar panel on, and now my neighbour built much higher houses and never thought of blocking solar issues, and my solar panels are all useless now. Lightsview says they never need to think about this issue because it's my responsibilities. I am not a god how the hell do i know the house after 3 years is gonna block me? LV wants residence to install the solar panel to meet the energy efficiency but they don't care after you spent the money. it's just full of bull sh*t. basically it means " hey u are stupid to be the first, you are dumb to install the panels" Another bull sh*t they now going on is the court yard, the early neighbours all follow the rules , having the court yard size standard and symmetric to your neighbour's courtyard. However, they made my neighbour to build a long rectagular size court yard that is not symmetric to mine, and they let them to over hang and build a bed room on top of the courtyard. To me, if you build something on top of it, it's no longer a courtyard, but LV still full of sh*t saying it's a courtyard. It's not like they build a vergola for your yard but you are actually build a living area on top of it. they say it won't affects the light but you know its rubbish. They also trying to foolish me by lining up my roof eaves with their overhang 2nd floor saying it's not too much over but everyone knows you should compare to the actual wall, not eaves. look my photo, they say it's aligned, but from what i can see, it's at least 1 meter out. They say it's too late and there's nothing they can do to stop that, i know they will not do anything about it All i can do for a good faith is warning people" do not waste your hard earnt money in this sh*t area" cos LV will kick the balls to Port adelaide council and council will kick back to lightsview, it's their game Port Adelaide Council is the worst council i have ever experience, they only want money, they don't care anything you complain. Unlike my other properties in burnside council and campbell town councils, those are much better. Be warned to choose you properties carefully, find a better council that is more responsbile and helpful. http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n529/thchang01/318ADCD5-5DD2-4ED2-BCFF-CF9755DEA94E_zpssxwvtp12.jpg 7.5M Dual Frontage terrace @ lightsview SA /viewtopic.php?f=31&t=58754 moved in - April 2014 furnitured - August 2014 home theatre - September 2014 Game room - December 2013 moved in - 09 April 2014 Joe, it depends on your certifier but we are noticing the ones we deal with are really cracking down.
