Thankyou- I hope your builder fixes your door without too much hassle! I’m not sure if standards in the building industry have gone downhill in the recent years but it…

Today I got an email from customer service that was a bunch of copy/paste from the inspectors reports and my list of expectations with some points marked as ‘supervisor has…

It looked like they ignored half the items picked up at PCI and what they had dealt with was unacceptable- eg bare tile edging in kitchen/laundry/bathrooms at PCI, it was…

I did not accept the keys/make final payment today. The house is not completed and they’ve done a couple of ******* ‘fixes’ to defects in the PCI list.
I was…

Still no landscaping done!! They have come and taken away the piles of dirt and junk out the front so at least something has happened- I think they must be…

Had confirmation today the driveway will be sealed prior to handover, yay!! I was not looking forward to accepting it as is given it looks like crap & I would…

Everything is looking great!

Thankyou I’m very much hoping they have sorted out the last few things & actioned the inspectors report so that I can accept the keys…

Got an email today requesting handover on the 22nd June- 3 days after I need to be in for the stamp duty refund. I emailed back asking if it was…

Rendering is done and looks great, but the driveway has dried an ugly colour I think the coloured concrete should be black according to my…

Thanks Sammy74- it definitely seems a bit more stressful than the rest of the build! I was hoping to take 2 weeks off work to chill out after handover but…

Went out last night to look at the driveway framework and was surprised to find a driveway!
It’s been a hell of a few days going back and forth with the…

That’s good to hear! My conveyancer suggested the SRO are very black and white and follow their rules etc so I was a little worried about it, but it’s good…

Inspector picked up a couple of bowed walls and one warped ceiling. Apparently not too difficult to fix. Also a roof tile needs moving and some of the tiles are…

So PCI is tomorrow morning. I’ve printed off the drawings, variations, and additions to the contract so I can mark off that I’m getting what I’ve paid for (though I’m…

Thanks
Received a text from my sales guy this morning telling me that the gas lines have been installed. Got an email from customer service a…

This weeks update: no update (again)
Over it!!

Gas company advised my neighbour that her gas line will be completed by end of next week- fingers crossed mine gets done at same time!
Just saw a sold price of…

Thanks
One of my puppies is going in for 2 knee surgeries on Monday and needs 24/7 care for the next couple of weeks, so it’s…

I lodged a complaint with the gas & energy ombudsman yesterday relating to the length of time the energy company are taking to do the installation of the gas line…

3 months behind! That’s not good at all! Hopefully not too much longer hey all the houses behind mine started after mine and are already…

That is strange! I wonder whose responsibility it is to make sure they are in the right place? Hopefully you won’t have too much of a hold up to get…

Still on hold with no ETA for the gas lines

Scrap that, apparently the customer service person sent the PCI email to me instead of someone else.

I’ve had a pretty **** week thanks to getting told off by the builder on Monday due to having an extra person at the walk through last week. I ended…

Walk through went better than expected. I ended up with 2 guy friends and my mum walking through with me.
Still a lot of stuff to fix up inside (cracks/dints…

Your home & landscaping is beautiful!!

Yeah it was rude and I was so upset (and angry) yesterday. I’m glad they changed their mind but really it shouldn’t have come to the point of me needing…

So out of respect to my builder I advised that I would be bringing my mum & a friend to my inspection. They responded saying anyone not mentioned in the…

Holy moley, 12 weeks is terrible- Fingers crossed it doesn’t work out that long for me ☹️
I guess the only good thing about waiting longer is being able to save…
