If things are bad enough we will reject handover. Sekisui | Burbank - Cedarwood1828 642Apr 13, 2018 10:57 pm been such a long journey and some of the dramas towards the end have made it a even poorer experience. Will take a miracle to have a happy handover.
We’ll prepare a list of things to move and prioritise a logical order of installation/supplies/things to get ready. With Anzac Day, and some annual leave I will have 6 days straight to get some things done Went to a Icon By Design warehouse sale on Thursday. The 6x dining chairs I went to buy were already sold within 20mins. Walked away with a entertainment unit lol. Retail therapy. We saw this one at their showroom but felt we couldn’t justify the price tag... snatched it up at $400 with a tiny 3mm dent on the front edge. Solid oak ‘svend’ with oak doors.

As far as table is concerned yes I have the style and dimensions I am wanting. I have found a carpenter who can build this for me and I think I will ask him to do it. He can’t start it until June but that’s fine, at the rate our those is still going we won’t need it until at least then! Re: Sekisui | Burbank - Cedarwood1828 644Apr 14, 2018 7:50 am Yeah we didn’t see any rush to get a new dining table, we could always fall back to the island bench for the time being. Do you have a sketch of table design and dimensions? I could ask if there are any rejects, excess orders or prototypes etc. I will see the carpenter soon anyway. Re: Sekisui | Burbank - Cedarwood1828 646Apr 18, 2018 3:58 pm Handover canceled What a disaster. Bank and valuer process has completed died in the rear end. 16 business days. 1st valuation appointment was cancelled due to plans not sent through clearly. They managed to reschedule a week later but then the valuer didnt send the report for 4 days until escalated. Now they want a 2nd and ‘final’ valuation.... so we’ve canned the handover this Friday. Don’t even know who to believe, the broker, the builder or the bank. Re: Sekisui | Burbank - Cedarwood1828 647Apr 18, 2018 5:34 pm ehhc Handover canceled What a disaster.

I hope it all gets sorted for you ASAP. - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Re: Sekisui | Burbank - Cedarwood1828 648Apr 18, 2018 6:24 pm Bridgetwitch That’s so bad...

Good luck! Just to add some perspective, apparently the service level for valuer to submit report was 6 business hours. Sitting on the report for 4 clear bus. days just isn’t good enough. And the broker should of followed up too without us prompting arghhh. Re: Sekisui | Burbank - Cedarwood1828 649Apr 18, 2018 7:16 pm ehhc Handover canceled What a disaster.

I just don't know what to say. I was very excited that you were getting handover. So sorry to hear handover is now cancelled. Have they reschedule a new date. Maybe you can use this as leverage and request Burbank for fixing all outstanding items eg. garage roller door at the back. Build Thread : viewtopic.php?=31&t=81624 Sekisui | Burbank - Cedarwood1828 651Apr 18, 2018 8:33 pm I won’t be taking handover if that garage door track is not fixed. so bummed out, just realized that after all this time we are back at square one with the bank. It’s like they’ve done nothing since March 23rd Re: Sekisui | Burbank - Cedarwood1828 652Apr 18, 2018 8:36 pm Re: Sekisui | Burbank - Cedarwood1828 654Apr 19, 2018 9:19 am trimum So sorry to hear this news, I really hope you get a new date for handover very soon, that must be gutting to be so close. Handover date is all riding on -SS schedule to let valuer back in -valuer to pull their finger out -bank to pull their finger out -broker to help bank and valuer find their hands -rebooking a new handover date Lol sorry for the imagery - its what the situation feels like...

Just make sure your broker fully understands your timeframes and the banks current timeframes and that they’ll push to those targets. You’re in Qld, maybe the banks are better up that way.

I can only imagine how upset you must be /quote] Yeah... thanks for the concerns everyone. Lol I was super p|ssed off about the whole situation and how everyone just seems to screw up left right and center. From CSO not issuing variation before PCI, cant follow contract process for handover, can’t calculate, builder mistakes, bank slow, valuer didn’t do it right the first time. But.... we’re fortunate we still have a roof over our heads and surely it’s only a couple weeks to go now. Small delay in the long scheme of things. Hi All, Recently we have signed a contract with Burbank and we are not aware that they have just DORSET, SURREY, HAMPSHIRE, KENT, PILBARA and REDGUM bricks from PGH are… 0 3128 |
