I recently viewed the Manhattan display home in Aveley. The sales person was extremely pushy. The house had twin basins in the main ensuite, lowered floor elevation in the living room, and a really wide front door!
I was told i could have it all for $364k! I was chuffed i was getting such a good deal!
So I payed $1500 deposit to affordable living.
They found me a plot of land, I was told by them it was 300sqm.
Then told there was a mistake it was 280sqm.
But when signing the paperwork the land was 250sqm! I was told the house would still fit though. So i proceeded further. I paid the $2000 deposit on the land. I was told they were sorry for the mess up.
When I received the drawings for the house the design was massively shrunk to fit with none of the features like the basins and floor elevations included and a narrow front door. Then the prelimery plans agreement I signed the total figure had been changed from $364k to $390k!!! I was then told by them that because the house had to be 6 star energy efficient they had to flip the design from left to right because of the way the sun rises and sets on the plot. They were charging me $25k for this which i hadn't agreed to. But the document i signed because the total figures had been scribbled out and amended i hadn't initialed next to it for the document to be legal.
So i am pulling out of the build. I have asked for my deposit back from affordable living but the sales rep is currently ignoring me. I would seriously not recommend anyone to build with these guys. They have alterted my documents without me knowing.
They have not delivered on what they promised. If they don't return my deposit then i will be taking legal action against them. Stay well away from affordable living!!!!
