Hi Ethan, the council inspection went well and the actual building is fine, they just need to install a back flow prevention device on the water meter and register it with council before the final sign off can be obtained.
Hi Benny,
the property is in NSW but not in a Bushfire zone. From what I understand from the builder, it’s got to do with insurance. If the builder does not provide the OC before someone moves into the property, they are still liable.
According to my contract
“The builder is not required to obtain any certificate of occupancy or final inspection certificate relating to the building works.”
So it looks like they don’t need to provide it, but now they are insisting that they need to obtain the OC before my tenants can move in. Hence the confusion and now I don’t know what my options are in getting a resolution.
