If you don't mind sharing how was the valuation went? Was it under or over the contract price and by how much? Cheers. My valuation is done by 2 banks & both came higher than the contract price.

Very happy with the results. Nigel, my building inspector found some problems which I would never notice. Glad that I had him on the job. Please let me know if you want his details. He was suggested by my solicitor. Re: Fairwater in Blacktown by Australand 577Mar 22, 2016 11:34 am ![]() ![]() Anyone here has suggestion of a reliable building inspector to recommend?

Re: Fairwater in Blacktown by Australand 578Mar 22, 2016 11:40 am My pre settlement inspection is done, house looks pretty nice but Frasers have not used a common sense in some of the things, like no en suite door but at the same time no privacy lock on the master bedroom door, it is the design fault but they will not change it. Also, only 2 down lights in the bedrooms instead of 4 with warm white gloves to meet their rating but at the expense of the owners. Also, only one headlamp on the kitchen island bench where the sample houses are different. Not sure what has been the experience of others, if you could share would be great. Expected a higher level of sense than other builders but a bit on a low side from Frasers.

They said, if they think it is a defect only than they will correct the problems. But my inspector told me that, if they dispute anything than ask them to talk to him not myself. Nigel will deal as it is identified by him. Overall, Frasers will try not to accept it, that is the impression I got. Even my gas cooker was wobbly and I reported as a defect & the lady told me that is not our fault it comes from factory as it is. So I said, ask them to replace it and she was still trying to deny. I am not happy the way they took the problems we explained. Not a good experience. Also, we had to finish our appointment quickly as they had another appointment waiting for them. Re: Fairwater in Blacktown by Australand 580Mar 22, 2016 11:26 pm To Hjr11 Oh thats not very pleasant experience. But you are one of the lucky ones to do the pre inspection earlier than expected. You must be very excited to move into your new house. Do you mind me asking how long is the process now after the inspections until you can move in ? Actually we have also put in a deposit with one of frasers property. Just want to have an idea. Thanks and congrats again. [/quote] |
