Well done but your reply didn’t make any sense to me. So you are not in the trades in any way and you want this so called Royal Commission? …

That’s just it , it doesn’t exist at the moment but I think it would be far more effective than a so called royal commission. Insurance companies need to address…

Hi first time
Have a look at “product review .com.au” site. Eden Brae have had 485 reviews for a 4.1/5 positive feedback. A pretty impressive result for that many reviews. I…

One of the first things to do is weigh up the costs. You buy old you move straight in or rent a while longer and get it updated. New…

Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Is there an insurance ombudsman? I have known of builders losing their capability to obtain insurance because of past claims. If he can’t…

Ask to view some homes they’ve recently built before u sign anything. Check with owners if they had problems.

I’d ask for some addresses to look at some under construction and or completed. Speak to the trades working there and they might give you some idea of the finish…
