Retire @ Midstream

Midstream or Downstream?

Midstream Estate, more specifically Retire at Midstream. You decide to purchase a new home in Midstream from the developer (Bondev Pty Ltd). Snag lists are drawn up and, after several months, most of the issues are addressed. Marketed as “luxurious”, is a unit “upmarket” without a ceiling in the garage, damp below the windows and massively cracked exterior walls allover? Then, within a few months, you make the following horrible discoveries: Damp forms on both bathrooms’ ceilings and walls…you find out that the pa****t walls were never waterproofed. You submit emails and photos…nothing happens. You discover a termite infestation consuming the interior skirtings…The exterior areas (garden and communal lawns) were not treated and now its your problem. After several months you receive your electrical Certificate of Compliance (COC) and discover, to your absolute shock, that it had expired two years before you purchased the unit! WHAT NEXT AND WHAT DO YOU DO?
