Post BR there were repairs and recommendations highlighted by the building inspector. We entered negotiations lawyer suggested that we ask for vendor’s credit at settlement(it is almost half of our deposit) instead so we can get these repairs done once we move into the new house.

I am buying the house with 5% deposit. My mortgage advisor says he hasn’t seen this happening ever before and the bank won’t accept this. I am worried that we will lose the house after coming so close to the finish line. Please advise 🙏🏻

Bank asked for confirmation of closing the account. I closed it but haven’t received an email yet. Is there a number I can call afterpay on?

Any information is helpful. Thanks in advance

Hi there, First home buyer here. Our conditional offer has been accepted and tomorrow is the last day for below conditions, LIM, Buildings report & Solicitors Approval.

Finance condition still has 5 more working days.

We found several issues in building report and initiated renegotiation process. Haven’t heard back from the vendors yet. I am pretty nervous, my lawyer asked for an update and their solicitor responded saying they are still waiting on response from the vendors.

Since we are waiting on their response at this point - I wanna make we are not at breach what are the things I should be doing?

The bank also came back with conditional approval pending property valuation. I am confused if I need to spend anymore money on this property. Please advise

We went to a openhome over the weekend. The agent was very helpful and nice. I expressed my interest & gave my details and he mentioned they would call me to discuss as the deadline was on the 5/05/2026. He didn’t call, I had some emergency so I couldn’t call them too.

I checked the property again on 06/05 on their website the deadline was moved to 07/05. So I clicked on contact number on the listing. The other agent picked up and talked about how they were looking for my details and his colleague lost them. I gave him on my email on the call again requesting him to send me more information & available paperwork on the property so I can do my real and decide if I want to put an offer on the house. In addition to that I texted him my email address.

Yet nothing no paperwork, no response - anyone dealt with similar situation. Or this something that agents do because they don’t like certain buyers ? This is not the first time it happened to me.

Update: I looked up to contact their office manager turns out the agent icing me out is the CEO of the Brokerage lol.😂 funtimes

I am a first home buyer in auckland. Our offer got accepted and currently in conditional contract phase. Our building inspector highlighted few issues with the property. Definitely not a ‘runaway’ property but lot of work needs to be done.

Our offer was based on property’s visible condition and vendor made it look cosmetically appealing. However I am hoping renegotiate on the price as based on the findings and also to get a quote for all the concerns raised in the building inspection report.

Roof, gutters, cladding, plumbing, subfloor moisture repair etc.

Is there one stop shop that can help me with getting a quote for all these things. Any suggestions? I wasted all day trying to find contractors and handymen of all these issues and it sucks honestly.

Thanks in advance.
