Will pick up bank cheque in the afternoon. Hopefully pick up keys on Thursday! @Madora Dreamer Re: HGWA in Calleya Estate 384Dec 13, 2017 4:56 pm Mrsxtro01 Got the cheque and handover is booked for Friday @ 10am! Hallelujah! @Madora Dreamer Re: HGWA in Calleya Estate 385Dec 13, 2017 5:30 pm Ring the bank yourself and tell them you need it done by Friday. Then ring them the next day to make sure it is booked. Then ring the day of the inspection to ensure they've received the report and have released the funds. Ask for the payment to be in cheque form, pick up from local branch. That's what I did and it certainly made a difference. I sent the invoice on 08/12, rang later the same day to make sure they had it. Rang on 11/12 to see if inspection had been booked, was done 12/12. Rang that same afternoon to make sure they'd received the report and were actioning the payment. Rang today to ensure cheque would be available for collection at local branch, email was sent immediately to branch and then I collected it straight away. Pester them till it is done. Make sure they are aware there is a very definite timeline. Tell them you must have the cheque by the 19th December. Good luck! Re: HGWA in Calleya Estate 386Dec 13, 2017 5:57 pm I agree with the above, exact same process for me. At the start it was going to take days but I kept calling and calling until it all got done in about 3 days. Honestly, remind them who the customer is and take no excuses, especially not the ''oh it takes 2 days to process'' or the classic ""2 days to release funds'' They can release funds immediately but prefer to hold it for 2 days while they charge you interest.

It doesn’t appear that the bank will play ball. Looks like it will be after the 3rd January now, unless by some miracle they do the valuation on Monday or Tuesday. @Madora Dreamer Re: HGWA in Calleya Estate 396Dec 15, 2017 3:39 pm Madora Dreamer I did the final inspection with the SS.

I wish you a wonderful Christmas regardless of whether you are in your new home or not. Although I am super happy we've got our keys, I wish we'd ended up having a tie with you in the race to completion! Re: HGWA in Calleya Estate 399Dec 15, 2017 4:00 pm Is your fence up Mrsxtro01? I made a complaint to Stockland today Re: HGWA in Calleya Estate 400Dec 15, 2017 4:01 pm All the very best to you too! On a positive my gates were going in today, at least all my fencing is completed. @Madora Dreamer |
