Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 4930Oct 05, 2017 10:27 pm Anna 10 I have had 200, 290 and 350. So I have no idea what the standard price is. And I was told that you need to be careful of quotes too low as it may mean a poor quality antenna....so what's low? Maybe see if there are any reviews on Google for the companies?

Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 4935Oct 12, 2017 9:05 am LittleGreenTarneit We have raised it to the manager and awaiting a response. We are not counting on it, though, in all honesty. We will request for a new SS and CLC if we hear nothing again this week. The building inspector provided detailed ways on how to fix the defects, even including illustrations and the sections of the Australian building code that HBC is defying. HBC asks for payments even before a stage is complete. Has anyone experienced this? They threaten with penalties if not paid right away. We are just so upset and feel unimportant, discriminated even, with how we are being ignored. They seem to not treat us like people. Any update with the issues you have been having with HBC? Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 4936Oct 15, 2017 8:29 pm The manager had to ask our SS to call us to set up a meeting. In the meeting, our SS A_ , offered that he will be the one to inspect our property and not our current independent inspector to make it “easy.” We declined of course. The SS also said that the time when the house will be finished will depend on us, if we don’t find any problems. Can you believe it? I think the time and date the house will be finished depends on him, if he does his job correctly! I really hate this service brought about by Homebuyers. I feel so insulted, belittled.

I would be requesting and requiring that HBC replace your current SS immediately. The response from your current SS is reprehensible. He clearly has no interest in his job nor any professional credibility Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 4938Oct 23, 2017 4:17 pm Hi everyone....I just wanted to ask anyone who has built the Jasper17 what air conditioner have you bought? As it seems some are too long in width and won't fit in the main area. And if 5KW is enough for the space or whether I need to go higher in kW.

Getting real close now. What i wish i done differently with this was extended the driveway so it wasnt diagonal. Will either get it done or will put gravel/stones so theres more room for the cars. Facade - Fenton Exterior - Marble Hi, is this the same as the Fenton 2.0 facade? We chose that facade in marble Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 4940Oct 25, 2017 9:18 pm Seeing the issues above have me worried due to our service so far. We finally settled the other day after having settlement delayed over a month. We had resolve legal do our conveyancing as we thought it was part of the house and land package (which it wasn't). We almost had our settlement fall through because even though the settlement was delayed, they still waited until last minute. I have to give props to my mortgage broker as she rode them making sure that everything was sorted. They just sent me a form asking what we thought of their service. They won't like our answers. I havent, and i havent looked to much into it, but on face value its not the saviour its trying to make out to be. Shared equity in your home is never a good idea.
