Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Sick of the Merry-Go-Round We want to get off now please 14Sep 01, 2008 6:20 pm I got a phone call from the SC this evening. Was told we should get our issues resovled tomorrow or next day at latest.
If this does get sorted and we sign then I will buy our SC a nice bottle of wine as she is wonderful. Fingers crossed. Re: Sick of the Merry-Go-Round We want to get off now please 17Sep 04, 2008 8:34 am Hey Peter, my wife and I got off the MCon merry go round awhile ago. We were experiencing the same thing you were, all talk no action. I'm still astounded that we as a couple were going to be spending in the vicinity of $280k and we couldn't get a simple answer out them.
So what do we do? Research research and research. We finally found a builder that does small projects, they are not fast builders, but they listen and help us all the time with our concerns, which is excellent . The drawings have taken 6months just to get right and we are extremely happy, the builder lets us put in anything into the house that we want, and they just minus the price of the contract, ie they are flexible . Dont get to discouraged with the process, its hard and bloody frustrating. All the best. Re: Sick of the Merry-Go-Round We want to get off now please 18Sep 04, 2008 9:05 am thanks for that.
Well it is now thursday, we were promised that this would be all resolved by Tuesday at the latest. Still no word. The problem now is that we are supposed to have FC signed by 3 Oct and we are not even to PC yet. No doubt with the litany of errors so far I can anticipate that the PC will be full of errors and will take 2 - 3 weeks to sort out on the merry go round, then once it does get to FC I can gurantee that that will also be wrong or have clauses etc that need to be negotiated. There is no way that a FC will be getting signed by 3 Oct so they had better prepare to move that date to the right by at least 2 months as we are not going to be pressured into signature by that date. If they refuse to move it we will walk. $1500 is small potatoes in the scheme of things and as we will own the soil and contour survey we will lose nothing. Up to them to get their act together if they want this sale to happen. Re: Sick of the Merry-Go-Round We want to get off now please 19Sep 04, 2008 12:44 pm Peter_OZ thanks for that.

Can you actually tell them a date? and if they cant stick to it, then I'm going to walk away? At the end of the day your the customer. Re: Sick of the Merry-Go-Round We want to get off now please 20Sep 04, 2008 3:59 pm can tell them anything, we are the customer and if terms do not suit us then we are fully entitled not to sign.
They have frigged us about now for months so I am not going to be boxed in with a "must sign by date" That date can keep sliding to the right and pricing same as when we signed the initial deposit. Same as they are entitled to say No in which case we walk. Have heard nothing today, again. Pretty much resigned to the fact that this deal is not going to happen now. surprised any houses get built what with the rigmarole buyers have to go through. 9 26037 Sounds like rubbish to me. Ask for the contamination report which I doubt they have. If it's part of a normal subdivision it would have had a contamination report done… 9 5927 This is one of the reasons I decided to go overseas for my double glazed windows. As the builder indicated, he's worked on many upmarket builds, these were the most well… 13 20303 |
