I signed up with Hudson Homes in June 2021 with a fixed price contract valid until June 2022, paid the initial deposit, then went through the variations and signed the final contract, paid the 5% deposit (over $25k), and within a couple of months they came back to ask for another $85k. All this within the fixed price contract period, meaning before June 2022. When I asked for the clause that allows them to do this and objected to paying the extra, they stopped answering emails, no responses to documents submitted, and now have said they will not construct our house. And they have walked away with our $25k deposit. Absolutely awful. I will never recommend anyone to go with Hudson Homes. All our dreams shattered. They have pocketed all our hard earned money. Another strange feature of Hudson Homes is that we are asked to pay the subcontractors (such a electricity, aircon) directly to the subbies; I don't think this is covered by iCare insurance but need to check. It is much safer to go with a builder where all monies are paid directly to the builder who then pays the subbies so that the insurance covers these in case the builder goes into liquidation. I am now in the process of taking Hudson Homes to NCAT to get my deposit back and claim damages. I would like to know what happens with your case. I am having a similar experience with them and 2+ years and still they are building my house. In addition to that I am paying an extra 15% on top of the original contact prize because they demanded that they are going to walk away from the project if I didn't pay the extra amount. How did this pan out for you? I am in the exact same situation and my house still hasn't been completed, so just trying to get some info. Still pending. I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 109408 Hi there! Putting the feelers out there for those who have (or almost) built with Arli homes! Interested in your experiences who've built from their stock home designs… 0 26525 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 25750 |
