Great - Thanks again for your advice. all we are really waiting on is the appliances to go in which he has promised for this Thursday... we'll see.

yeah not very helpful feedback - should i vent our property frustrations on a gumball vending machine?? Thanks for this, we've been trying to build a bit of a case against this company as i see a lot of complaints but no legal action really taken against him. My parents have been a little...

getting quite mad here OMG. this guy is an absolute crook. so it's supposedly 'completed' has not a single appliance installed because of insurance (presume this is commonplace)? said to give a weeks notice for install.. so, the property manager has an EXCELLENT tenant lined up already...

Thanks mate - yes i will be encouraging them to spend some time exploring some further compensation avenues..

non - conformance! the build is....still going........ HOPEFUL that they receive the keys in the next week or two but don't hold your breath! They went up on the weekend just to have a look and - the place was left completely unlocked! my god these people are idiots - any random could have...

exactly..you can understand their anguish...:mad:

OMG, so this still continues! The builder has apparently washed his hands of it and his father (also a builder) has taken over. the father actually answers his phone...that's a plus. the f**king townhouse is 1 year + overdue and my mum has since lost her job! stressed much?

Hey Will, not sure but I'm presuming there is. I just hope it gets resolved quickly.

hi - my parents are building a townhouse in Caroline Springs - VIC - the builder has been SHOCKING. now, the property is supposed to be completed in a 24 month timeframe which from what i can gather is basically up. property incomplete. what steps should they take? they have started their...
