Re: who is building at east village spring farm???? 505Jul 12, 2016 11:03 am Guys, I need some help and I am in major panic mode. as you all aware I pursed a house and land Package thru Lucas Homes back in Feb 2015. and now I am trying to get in contact them just to see if they have any updates and the phone goes straight to voice mail - the website has been shut down. I have emailed every single person that I have been in touch with the past year and no response, I am really starting to think that they have just shut down and what is even more scary is that I will lose so much money and my land. I have been in contact with Luis but he is another person who doesn't return phone call or emails. I don't know what to do. I honestly just want to start crying. Re: who is building at east village spring farm???? 506Jul 12, 2016 11:24 am Hi jchavez85, I found someone has written about Lucas Homes few days back. "Lucas Homes a week ago- Worst people to deal with. For anyone out there being promised a soon to arrive Home Warranty Insurance, Relative Constructions Pty Ltd T/As Lucas Homes NSW have lost their eligibility since 31/12/2015. Just do a search on their licence 229253C on Fair Trading site. ATO have applied to wind up the company at 1/12/2015, but it was cancelled it in February 2016. This is publicly available information if you pay $9 to do a search on ASIC. If you have a Building contract signed for more than $20k and don't hold Home Warranty Insurance, contact Fair Trading on 13 32 20 and lodge your case immediately as it is illegal per Fair Trading site. If you have issues getting your building worked get your case into Fair Trading. For sub-contractors, if you are getting no luck getting paid and owed more than $2,000, look into getting a Creditor's Statutory Demand with your legal advisor." I would suggest you to contact Fair Trading on 13 32 20 immediately. Good Luck. Re: who is building at east village spring farm???? 507Jul 12, 2016 12:44 pm so here is some feedback guys. spoke to fair trading and they can not do anything as I am not the direct owner of the land. And Landcom are not in contract with me. I spoke to Luis and they can not do anything for me either. as Urban Growth have a contract with Lucas home they can not help me and as they are aware everything is fine and when the time comes to register and settle for the land and if Lucas home can not settle them its a matter for Urban Growth to look into. as for me.. I am looking at loosing 10% of the land price and pretty much everything. I honestly feeling so lost.

Re: who is building at east village spring farm???? 509Jul 12, 2016 2:01 pm Hi All, I just got off the phone to the managing director of Lucas Homes and he has advised me that my land will register with no problems. the only thing that I will need to do is find another builder. he also said I can use their plans to build if I wanted to. thanks guys for letting me vent. Thanks Jackie Re: who is building at east village spring farm???? 510Jul 12, 2016 2:43 pm jchavez85 - this sounds like good news but you should still get some legal advise as well as something in writing from the person that you spoke to, they can say what they like on the phone but you need something more concrete than his word about something so substantial. Good luck Re: who is building at east village spring farm???? 511Jul 13, 2016 11:42 am Clarky21 - Yeah I got something in writing. I feel much better today. I spoke to Luis and he advised that my Block of land will register at the end of July but wont be able to settle till power lines are removed. Hopefully its still October/November. I have to find a new builder - does anyone have any good suggestions?

I have to find a new builder - does anyone have any good suggestions? Quite a few of us are building with Oakworth, they're absolutely brilliant! No issues with them, have been completely upfront and honest about everything! Re: who is building at east village spring farm???? 513Jul 13, 2016 5:49 pm Glad to here it's all going to work out for you. I'm sure that there are plenty of good builders our there for you. I'm building with Blue Tongue Homes and they have been fantastic, nothing is too much trouble for them. I went through Alex that works out at Gregory Hills. We're doing a custom build as we had to fit a house and poppy flat (same as a granny flat but for poppy instead) so I'm sure they could use your old drawings/plans as well.
