Hi guys this date back in november 2007 when i signed a contract for house and land package in springfiled lakes qld from the main real estate .... realty u guys can guess who they are. went to their display home and checked it out, liked it, see the agent, agreed to accept the price 320k which was about 10-15k more dearer than the average villa when it was first released becos of location and being last lot in the area so she claims. basicallly put down a deposit and settled the land in feb and they said i will be dealing with the builder in the building process that they chosen in part of the houde and land package. dealt with the builder, didnt start building till july becos they builder told me that the original building plan didnt pass the council permit because it was too close to the walk path being a corner block. they had to shift the plan back about 1.5m metre back and got approved and i signed the new plans and the building started in july. being frustrated waiting for 5 months for paper works to be approved, i just wanted it to get built so i signed the modified plan without knowing exact what they were plus being neever built or even own a house so i was clueless, that could be my disadvantage cos i signed the building plan. house was finished in april 2009 moved in, house just fit on the land on a 260 square meter block, lost about 1m long in the back yard supposed to have a 1.7metre long back yard like the 2 same villas next to mine and the display home, assuming when i saw the product it would be like and it was in the original plan when i first signed the contract.
now im settled in the house, i want to sue the real estate for selling a dodgy product and be compensate for the lost of land, false product description and time and money i have to pay the bank whiling waiting for it to build. because they selling a package with house and land so i got no control over the product description rather than paying for it, wait for it get build and moved in on a fixed price thats whay it supposed to be all about right. half way through it the land was too small for the villa, had to be modified, wait much longer for paper works to be approved becos of it and at the end of the day i dint get a product that i signed for at the start. i talked to a solicity and they wanted to charge me $160 for 30 mins consultation, and $360 per house while they go through the contracts and paper work to see if i have a winning case. thats one point and 2nd point is even if i win the case, is it worth the time and money because who knows how much is the legal fee gonna be compare to the money i get compensated from the case if i win. another thing is i wnt to know if there is any way i can sue them without going through a laywer like filing for a case through court etc.. as my english is pretty bad so and i dont know if it is possible to do that without a solicitor so i want to see what u guys or any experts that woukd know if i have a case, is it profitable if i win or i can even do it myself to save legal fee. one last thing can i get the solicitor that did my convayencing to seek advice without extra cost?
