He told me it was going to add weight to his story about not gaining access to the shed although he admitted they only got the impression i didnt want them in there and they were never denied access. How they got that idea while i was out the front holding the dog on the lead and they are out back with shed door open is baffling me! I got no idea…[Read more]

We only moved a few streets away and i guess they saw my car turning into the street or something. I was wondering if i should report this to the police or not. My wife and 2 young children are home during the day while i work and it is a worry. Its hard to believe a simple house sale has turned into this.
I forgot to mention i asked the purchaser…[Read more]VistaView replied to the topic Purchasers trying to claim compensation after settlement in the forum Legal & Accounting 11 years, 8 months ago
*update*
so after meeting with the Lawyer Friday night i was feeling slightly more contented until i get a knock on the door. It was the Purchaser of the property and it appears that his son in law has been driving the around looking for where i live. I have an easily identifiable work car(logos etc) so they've seen this and tracked me down. This…[Read more]VistaView replied to the topic Purchasers trying to claim compensation after settlement in the forum Legal & Accounting 11 years, 8 months ago
ok, well after meeting with the Lawyer ive found out the following:
– They waived the cooling off period which was before they inspected the property so legally they purchased the house at it was(not inspected) and the work i completed for them before settlement did not legally need to be done, although at that point i wasnt aware of this. So…[Read more]

Its getting to be more of a joke as each day passes although still causes stress on me and the family. Good thing is i have these claims/threats in writing for legal reasons.
Im really not interested in having to go to court at all.
The timber beams their "expert" said were damaged and structural was also wrong. The timber are simply battons to…[Read more]VistaView replied to the topic Purchasers trying to claim compensation after settlement in the forum Legal & Accounting 11 years, 8 months ago
Hi Derek and thanks for your reply.
The latest news is they have emailed the agent asking for my contact details which where denied and said that if i dont contact them regarding the cash they want within 14 days they will be calling the police(yes the police) to report apparent illegal wiring in the shed aswell as the power company and taking me…[Read more]

They are saying its structural although its a steel frame shed so I’m not sure. I think the timbers may be there as a base to mount gyprock. The damage is old termite damage. They pulled gyprock off so who knows what’s under there. Shouldn’t make a difference in regard to their claim though I believe.

Thanks alot JacM aswell, the inspection was carried out by a family member that wasnt a qualified buidling inspector. There is no paperwork for anything and they didnt even check the roof space, electrical appliances, inside cupboards and more.
The repairs that were agreed on in the contract (6 retaining sleepers) were not specified either as to…[Read more]VistaView replied to the topic Purchasers trying to claim compensation after settlement in the forum Legal & Accounting 11 years, 9 months ago

Thanks alot for your reply xdrew i really appreciate it. Ive just got off the phone with a property lawyer and they have said the exact same thing.
The Property Lawyer stated that it is no fault but their own if they did not thoroughly inspect the house and that im in no way liable for future problems arising after settlement.
There was no final…[Read more]
