Earlier this year we purchased a block of land with the intention of building our PPOR. We settled on the land and found a builder then submitted the plans to council. Part of our submission to council was the inclusion of a pool.
Through contact with the pool builder we discovered that our land had high salinity levels. We are now having to pay $5500 to upgrade our building slab and pool shell to counter the high salinity levels.
We feel that we have been ripped off by the developer of the land, in that they did not inform us of the high salinity levels before we purchased the land.
Do we have any rights in recouping the $5500?
