With Keystart, when you do get the call from the builder to say you can come and hand over, call Keystart and let them know. Tell them you want to come and collect the final payment cheque directly - you need to into the office in StGeorge's Tce and collect it - so you can take it directly to the builder (Are you using Homebuyers?). Then take the final payment straight to your builder, sign the handover and take your keys - all in one day. Otherwise the post it between each other and it is a whole big waste of time - especially if you need to be out ouf your rental.
We moved into the house last June.
Sorry, I mmisunderstood your earlier post - it did take 3 weeks from memory from lock up to practical completion. Then 10 days from our final inspection to handover.
Hoping you're in your lovely new home miss h!! Looking forward to an update =)))
As for us, looking more and more like it will be one delay after another... Our contracted completion date is in 29 days, but the second fix carpenter said he'd estimate >3 months given the current backload of work and the unfixed errors in our build. Feeling like I've had the wind knocked out of me a bit today!
On a happy note, my stone benchtops were installed today! Yay =)))))
GG - shouldn't be long until your site start now!!
Hi SW. We were told they would be finished the end of last month but they still haven't put the carpets and blinds in and there are some small things they need to fix in the house. The landscaping is going to take much longer still. Our lease is finished on the 19th so we are going to move in finished or not. They say the house will be finished by then except the lanscaping but we will have to live with sand for a while. I need to submit the final paperwork to Keystart today in order for them to pay by the 19th so I'm really on edge. I don't want to live on the street for a few weeks! Our contracted date is only in October so we don't really have a leg to stand on as they actualy went much faster than they had to. I hope your things get sorted out quickly and YAY! for stone benchtops!
We moved in last Tuesday, without Keystart paying! The builders let us move in before payment was made as they had messed up. The window coverings only came in on Wednesday and the bank would not pay until they were in. So we are living for free ATM. No rent and no bond as they still have not paid. There were still a few small things to fix when we moved in but they were done the next day. How has it been going your side?
YAY!!!!! Congrats!!! =))) What a massive relief for you =)
Ours has all but come to a complete halt. I suspect that our site supervisor is doing it deliberately to $%^&* me off. I made (yet another) official complaint against him after he physically assaulted one of the contractors onsite at my house!! There are so many choice words that I could use to describe the man, none of them are forum-friendly. So yeah, I think we're still a few months off. Our contracted completion date is in 8 days - no chance.
So... Come on then... Since I can't live the excitement you'll have to share yours How does it feel? =)))) SO rapt for you!
