Active since Jun 2017
3 years ago we took ownership of a newly house built by Montagu Property Group in the Eye of Africa golf estate. We are now spending over R140,000.00 repairing the walls, damp and cracks where (to probably cuts costs) inferior materials were used. The tops of all pa****t walls need to be waterproofed and all aluminium windows and door frames re-sealed. The exterior walls need to be repaired and repainted as they're peeling and the plaster is cracking. The bathrooms are full of damp and mould and the roof needs waterproofing. Sounds like this house is 30 years old instead of 3. Montagu has absolved itself of any responsibility even though all 3 quotes we got said "inferior workmanship and materials". We didn't report the defects within the stipulated time period (45 days of taking ownership) and therefore we are responsible for the defects. To give them some credit, they did remove building rubble we found in one of the blocked pipes after the 45 days. Btw they no longer build in "The Eye".
In October 2017, we gave Marius R8000.00 to commence work on a gate at the entrance to our property. The gate needed to be erected by December the latest. First there were excuses that it was raining and no work could be done then the Christmas break happened, then there was another job that hadn't paid out (he was rolling money over from one job to the next) and now no reply to any of my emails . The address in Benoni that was supplied proved to be a bogus one. This man, Marius, is nothing more than a small time thief that preys on unsuspecting people like myself - a pensioner. The man is completely dishonest and probably a fly-by-nighter. He's probably operating under a different name by now. Beware of this person.
<p>I have been trying to cancel a debit order to this organisation since March. Whilst they promise to cancel the debit, they still keep on debiting my account each month. </p> <p>This is a dishonest organisation that just can't take "No" for an answer.</p>
