Browse Forums Building A New House Re: 25 grand grant 6Jul 12, 2022 12:21 pm That's where we stuffed up. All things were done besides slab before the 18 month mark, but the commencement letter that we sent in the builder wrote that it had commenced but the only date on the form was the date he wrote the letter which was last week. We sent invoices, emails etc as evidence to say we clearly started earlier than that and it was an error ( we are human, humans make errors) but they still declined us. To say I'm upset is an under statement kennyc AlexB kennyc Why was it rejected? When did you sign the contract and when did they break ground and when was the slab pour done? As long as it's in the timeframe stated it should be fine. I believe as long as you start within 18 months of contract sign then you should get it. They rejected due to taking too long. Contract was signed, site was cleared within a few months but slab wasn't down until just over 18 months. It clearly says on their site, that breaking ground is considered as start of construction. We will fight it. Yeah I would fight it. Slab pour is not the requirement, it's when construction actually started IE breaking ground. So when did they do your site level? Was it within the 18th months and do you have a letter from your builder stating what date they commenced construction? Good luck! Re: 25 grand grant 7Jul 12, 2022 6:11 pm Can you go back to the builder and get them to write another letter to prove your commencement date started within the time limit? That's probably your only option I would say and yeah, I'd be annoyed as well as I banked it all on the variations and FHOG. Good luck with it, hope you get a positive outcome! |
