Hey all
We recently signed up to a builder & paid our deposit (not gonna mention the name just yet as im not sure what is going to happen...)
Anyway we got a great deal (we thought) - and the builder mentioned that if we signed up on the following Sunday, he would throw in another 5k at pre-start.
To cut a long story short, I should have listened to EVERYONE when they told me to get EVERYTHING in writing.
We signed up, paid the deposit, and toddled off with our free $3 bottle of red wine to celebrate, thinking we had done great.
Fast forward 2 weeks, and we are now nitpicking and arguing with the sales guy over every single extra we were promised. At one point, I swear he said "Yes, well whats happened is, you have already got a 10k discount, so they wrote that in instead of this.."
We took an entire room off the plan, so thats where the "discount" came in. Then we have paid over 16k in upgrades for the kitchen. So far, all we have been given to entice us to sign up, is a free integrated range hood. Im actually raging with the sales guy, he promised to call me today to sort it. If I cant get things sorted and get what we were promised, Im really tempted to pull the plug on it. I know it sounds rash, and im not one of these people who wants EVERYTHING for free. But i feel angry that we arnt getting what was promised to us.
Anyway, rant over...just remember kids, GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!
