west, I only found out by looking carefully through the contract for the completion report. web, thanks for the advice. it could have been worse and I will persist to sort things out thanks everyone! have a great week!

haven't sent letter yet West, thought it was better I talk to them first. settlement on 16 oct vendor and builder are the same.

thanks Terry and West. I rang them. All 3 numbers and the email that was provided on their website. Nothing. Guess they are busy? But I will keep at it. Every day, every hour if I have to. I might even visit their head office. Does persistence work? I have 2 years!

Talked to consumer affairs Vic and they recommend sending email so that I have a record of 1) builder was contacted and made aware of the faults and 2) attempts to resolve issues. They also told me that for new buildings, non structural defects were covered for 2 years and was transferable to...

Westminster, I wasn't sure I could. so I should contact the builder? i think I read somewhere that it is transferrable but will read some more before I ring. should I ring first and then email so i have a written record of things?

devank, I thought surely there has to be some pride in workmanship. I checked up on the builders and they are a family owned building company but not small and have a reputation in Victoria for over 25 years. so should I contact the builders directly or hire someone??? If hiring someone, where...

thanks everyone for the comments. Jacque, it's put me off BA's but not properties and I'd probably do it again :eek: rather than spend all my time and money on having actual fun and partying! back to the problem at hand, am I doing everything I can at the moment? any other suggestions?? re...

thank you all, I will research today and action. wish me luck! ps I'm not ever going to get a BA again....it has been a lesson well learnt and I should have just listened to my own instinct rather than their 'we've bought thousands of properties, so we're experienced....' mumbo jumbo

bear, yes some were so minor, I didn't bat an eyelid but some seem like they could be an issue for later especially if I want to sell. that's why I went directly to the BI and asked him some very novice questions.

hi Terry, there are more than 10 defects, some minor some not so minor, but not major either. according to the building inspector, as it is a new house, it falls below standard for minor defects. I'll attach the report in next post. it's in victoria. can you explain warrantee for new...

thanks for your quick response westminster and bear. much appreciated. I have already signed the contract without building and finance conditions. I know it sounds naive but finance wise no problems. the building is structurally sound, no major defects but all the other things that should have...

hi, newbie here...and not even sure this belongs in this area, so forgive me if it is misplaced. I hired a buyers agent to help me purchase IP. they found a house, newly built, put in an offer but there was another interested party with a higher offer. the vendor said they would accept my offer...
