Hi All,
I signed a prelim contract for a House & Land package in Vale Estate, Aveley with Affordable Living Homes. I have had nothing but trouble since the day I handed over my deposit. They are trying to make me sign a HIA Contract and said nothing in this contract can be changed. Things like "The builder accepts no responsibility to any damage caused by the builder to the kerb, footpath, driveway or any other related property during the course of construction" & they also will not put that the contract is subject to finance of the full contract amount of the house & land...
I have asked them to amend some things and they said HIA do not allow changes. I called HIA & they told me that none of these clauses are in their contract & asked me if the contract has the HIA logo on it... nowhere on the document does it say HIA or have any logo other than Affordable Livings.
I have called the sales guy at Affordable Living & told him I am disappointed & he told me "that's fine, if you choose not to sign it I have lots of other people to sign up with me"
He has * to me the whole time I am now finding out, telling me the land was titled when the lang agent confirmed it wasnt. I have had trouble getting him to return calls & send me full copies of the documents.
I am not too sure where to go from here, as I have paid the land deposit & signed the offer & acceptance.
Has anyone had any similar experiences or can offer me any advice on what to do? I am really not confident with going ahead with this builder now as I have no faith in them & can't trust anything that comes out of this sales guys mouth - he has * to me from the start.. promised me the world until I signed away on the dotted line & now he hangs up on me & is very rude to myself & my father who has been trying to get this sorted.
