We found out from a few of their contractors who weren't getting paid. We approached the builder and said we wanted to finish the house off as we knew they couldn't fund it. They did an early handover, deducted some $$$ from our final payment and got the certificates from council. They continued operating for about 6 months after until they they officially declared and were liquidated. Re: Certificate of occupancy declined 9Feb 12, 2017 11:19 am peaches21 MoodyBlue With our last build (NSW) we moved in with an Interim Occupancy Certificate as there was still a fair bit of work to be done before we could be issued an Occupancy Certificate. The builder went broke towards the end of our build so we finished it off. We just had certain conditions we had to meet e.g. Works must be complete within X amount of months. I can't remember exactly how long we had but it was pretty decent. I feel like builder going broke is a bit of a different scenario... mine hasn't so they have no excuse to build a house that I legally can't live in? Depends what the contract states. We had to do our own walls, septic tank and water tanks. Without all of these the house is unlivable so I think it's standard practice what they are doing to you. They will just say owner supplied on the paperwork and the rest is up to you to get done Re: Certificate of occupancy declined 10Feb 12, 2017 12:18 pm alex_and_emma peaches21 MoodyBlue With our last build (NSW) we moved in with an Interim Occupancy Certificate as there was still a fair bit of work to be done before we could be issued an Occupancy Certificate.
