The settlement is on next Friday, for which I attended the final inspection of a new PPOR (my first property) that I am buying and am upset about a few things in the house.
How much of lippage (when tiles aren't even or when the grout filling is uneven )in tiles on the floor is acceptable ? I am told the builder can choose to fix whatever he feels like. Is there a law around how flush the tiles can be ?
I was told by the conveyancer that the house should be in pristine condition.
But when I pointed out the dents in the wall and the uneven tiles, the real estate agent says "uhmm, well, this isn't effecting the house structurally. I can show you million $ houses which are similar blah blah blah". The discussion only ended when I told him I wont buy a new car with torn upholstery just because it doesn't infringe the structural integrity of the car !
