HELP! 34Jun 10, 2009 6:32 pm Unbelievable Kirby......what a traumatic time for you.......and all unravelling by chance really. Go hard, don't give up and give 'em a real run for their money......good on you for standing up for yourselves, you certainly have every right to fight this to the hilt. JL Re: House different to contract..... soon to handover???? HELP! 35Jun 10, 2009 7:24 pm kirbstar23 ******UPDATE******* OK.... got advice yesterday to ring the developer and speak with the planning department. Much to both our shock we found that the plans in our contract are very different to the plans that were approved by developer and council. And apparently house is being built as per their plans and approvals. So now.... We have it proven that the vendor is now in massive breach of contract. And we are well within our rights to not settle till the house is exactly as our contract plan! we are selling and moving to the coast, if you know someone who wishes to buy in Mernda Villages, please visit this link http://www.realestate.com.au/property-h ... -107083288 Re: House different to contract..... soon to handover???? HELP! 36Jun 10, 2009 8:41 pm Structurally..... we have 450mm eaves around the whole home (appart from garage boundary). The plans that were approved by council and defl*n do not! And also pitch of the roof is only 22 degrees, mean't to be 25 degrees as per our plans! Inside..... feature tiles in bathroom have been installed (mission brown - and disgusting), they are not in our contract! It's just so stupid of them to have the wrong plans in contract.... than to have the vendor sign every page and ackowlege every single page and still not pick it up! Idiot! He deserves everything he gets know. And hubby is getting nasty about it now! I will defiantly keep you posted!

HELP! 37Jun 19, 2009 7:14 pm OK.... so now it's been a fortnight since we 1st alerted our solicitor of these problems.... Still are yet to hear anthing from the other solicitor. How bloody slack is that? So our solicitor has a plan in action.... he is adding a caviet to the property so that it can't be sold to anyone else..... as he believes that other side will just try and cancel transaction! So this way.... they can't.... and we have it as ours! As apparently their team might be just thinking if we cancel transaction they won't have any out of pocket costs, fees and so on! Also... found out the house next door (identical to ours apart from front facade and built by the same developer) sold for 30K more! So we got a mega bargain! I will keep you all updated!

HELP! 38Jul 27, 2009 9:53 pm OK..... .Figured it was well overdue for an update! Well, we were mean't to have handover last monday (20th).... and we still haven't even had the C of O issued yet. And things are really getting interesting! It's now been 2 months since we allerted our solicitor of the situation.... and all has been ignored by the other side! Very, very annoying! We had our final walk though with J*King homes last thursday.... we brought up the eaves issue. And they informed us that apparently it's their standard to have eaves from the frame work..... ?????? We have never heard of this before as it's usually always from the external facade (what ever it may be, brick, timber). And had some other rather interesting things told to us that are apparently standards for this particular builder. Like silocone in the showers where the tiles meet at the corner. Bugger that for a joke. But since the final inspection (as laurimer were there with us) they have realised that the house has not even been build by the plans they approved. So no there are 3 sets of plans of our house floating around! It's driving us nutty..... and to make things even worse we are now officially homeless as of 12:30pm today! Builders have now insisted that they re do the roofing? And it could be 8-12 weeks..... Also we are now onto our 4th site forman.... they all seem to be morons! Please if you or anyone you know has bulit with Kings.... please pass on any info you can. Thanks for any info that anyone may have!

HELP! 39Jul 28, 2009 10:43 am Hi Kirby My name is Helen and i'm also building in Harrison's View. My builder left out the eaves to the garage, but thank goodness they fixed them up without any major issues. I did have a panic attack when I realised they were not there though, as the developer approval was conditional to having eaves around the entire dwelling. I really do hope that everything does eventually get sorted out for you. Also I didn't realise the eaves were missing either, it was my 13 yo that noticed, I kept looking at the roof thinking something wasn't quite right but couldn't put my finger on it. Its not something that you expect to happen, but after living through the building experience and reading some of the threads on this site nothing surprises me!!! Re: House different to contract..... soon to handover???? HELP! 40Jul 28, 2009 10:55 am Kirby, I've been following this and wondered what had happened.... not good at all. I'm just hoping, like everyone else, that it all gets sorted out. I know it must be so stressful for you all. Hopefully you and your beautiful family will be settled in your home soon, and it will be exactly what you were led to believe it would be, and then you can concentrate on the new arrival.
