The Bankrupt, Fugitive, and the end of Property CorporationToplace's Billion-Dollar Empire
from Aug 2023
A Failed consultant turned our lives upside down threatening the safety of everyone in the area. Without proper notification, he began demolishing a major supporting wall on our property, the main load-bearing wall of our bedroom. At one stage he had setup a hose from his roof diverting water into our upstairs studio, causing several thousand dollars damage to the upstairs rooms, and undermining the footing of the house.
To compound matters, we discovered that the intermediate wall did not meet the legal fire rating, a major oversight that endangered our well-being. Despite our urgent endeavours to seek resolution the problem with the builder and contacting the council, the council said the builder's inspector had already signed off on the construction, providing no recourse and leaving us open to harm.
In spite of receiving a legal judgement in their favour and recompense for the damages incurred, the emotional toll was abysmal and created many unpleasant memories. They decided to sell their beloved home, we mourned the loss of our award winning sanctuary, another victim of proper government oversight and dicey building practices. The lack of proper oversight and appropriate governance by government and local council allowed this tragedy to unfold, heightening the necessity for greater accountability and protection for homeowners.
As we wrestle with the effects of this experience, we are left to consider: What recourse do owners have when their greatest financial investment are threatened by the negligence of dodgy builders? {https://www.facebook.com/groups/1240633520160302,
