Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Cosmopolitan Homes - Liquidator appointed 273Mar 25, 2012 4:26 pm I just find out the builder I am about to sign contract on Monday actually gone into liquidation few weeks ago. I can't believe this, I really can't. Is there any honesty in this industry. Arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Re: Cosmopolitan Homes - Liquidator appointed 274Mar 25, 2012 5:13 pm Hi Chaio, I feel so sorry for you, this is terrible! I guess the good thing is you didn't sign with them then find out that they've gone belly up! My advice to you is before you sign with anyone, do a little research....always check their liscence details on the ASIC website, it's amazing what that site can tell you , and if they are having any problems, you'll find out too. Re: Cosmopolitan Homes - Liquidator appointed 275Mar 25, 2012 6:28 pm Actually, the fair trading web site shows everything is fine. ASIC, if you search for the company name/ACN they provided, it is also fine. It just happened when I googled part of the company name, it comes up in some insolvance web site. I then spent money to retrieve the company detail and find this out. If they have been smart to set up a totally diff company name, I wouldn't have known. I felt like someone just run knife thru my heart, the 2nd time. It is so painful.

But like springtime said, at least you found out before you signed. Which company was it (you can PM me if you prefer not to write publicly)?
