Willow Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 After a lengthy stressfull carry on, trying to build a house with JHB, and failling. To many problems to mention but, mainly cash required with no decent contract, empty promises and lies. Then hearing they are in trouble and the personnel have registered two new companies. I would like to share the folowing. Hopefully it will be of use to anyone who is considering building with any firm in the future. Saving them the strife we went through. Anyone thinking of buying/building a house should hold on until after the 1st April 2010. On that date the house building industry is set to announce some long overdue consumer protection measures, the most important of which will bind housebuilders to a fixed completion date on schemes. At present, the ball is in the builders court. They can delay projects for their own convenience, or cash flow then serve a 14 day completion notice on the buyers. You could hand over the money and wait years for your house to be built, with no explination or apology.This new Mandatory Consumer Code will bring to order builders who have gotten away with to much, for to long! It will be enforced by independent arbitration. It will apply from the point of reservation, when buyers will be entitled to an agreement that sets out the terms, the price, how long the price valid for, and the reservation fee, which is reimbursed if the agreement is cancelled. I could go on but if considering a house build please check out www.consumercodeforhomebuilders.com It may save you a catalogue of problems in the future.

Q2 on their FAQQ:Do builders have to sign up to the Consumer Code?A: No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 If you are planning on giving somebody £200k, do you not write a contract anyhow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Oh well, maybe my bubble has been burst, but that is what i was lead to beileve, it was "mandatory". Maybe it's to good to be true.As for a contract before handing over cash. Of course you would need to sign one. You would be a fool not to. Guess thats why we never bulit with JHB. When a firm promotes they provide "everything, stress free." Their contract inc! Then months down the line descovering it doesn't protect the customer. Not much use if you hand over vast quantities of cash and they go out the back door. (They started asking for cash without any contract!!) Warning bells were sounding at that time.
