Browse Forums Home Finance 1 Dec 14, 2011 12:15 pm Hi, My original tender included $16,000 for tiling allowance & $3500 electrical. I only spent $7445 out of the $16,000 on tiling and we are planning to use the rest towards bamboo flooring for after handover as we know someone that can lay this for us. HOWEVER the bank (Rams/Westpac) are saying they dont give the remainding money to us at the end? Apparently they wont give final inspection approval until all that is in the tender is complete and they wont give us the remainding money? Im so confused can anyone help? Re: Help!!! 2Dec 16, 2011 11:39 pm Can you contact your banker/broker..... The bank should be able to explain the reasoning for this to you. They would be the best people to ask, as they know your situation and their products. Anyone else might be taking a best guess, and this could lead to further confusion. I hope they can help you out in the end! Re: Help!!! 3Dec 16, 2011 11:54 pm See if you can get the tiler to supply the bamboo flooring. You pay him, he pays the bamboo flooring supplier. Even if he puts 5% on top you might still be able to get your flooring supplied and installed. Hi there, long-time lurker but first time posting. I've bought a house 2 and a bit years ago and last year we had some major water damage on a converted pergola area… 0 7889 Yes, unless you are in a low intensity rainfall area or the area is protected from rain. Do you have access to NCC Part 2 or can you download it? I can email you a copy… 10 12376 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7079 |
