Buying a house with Calgro M3 was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made!!!

DO NOT Buy a house from this Developer Calgro M3 , they just sell you dreams 😭 Especially their Estate they are Developing in Southhills Johannesburg south on Nephin rd it’s called Olive Tree Estate ..

The houses have cracks , they use cheap paint , I am currently sitting with a plan that they gave me and the contractor has her own plan , I’m stuck with a house that I did not sign for!!! They lie to people the house is currently 5 months but it’s already falling apart.., They came to ā€œfixā€ but left my house looking like it’s 7years already… They use cheap materials to build the houses that’s why their flats fall apart , roofs collapse and ceilings fall just like how my newly built house needs rewiring…

My OTP has a plan of a 3bedroom which I signed for at a price that they put up but I was given a corner 2 bedroom house that has someone else’s signature on the plan and I was told they signed on my behalf…

Their service is horrible… Their head of sales Department Mauritz is the worst person to deal with… I regret buying a house from Calgro M3

I’m supposed to be happy as it is my first home but instead I’m suffering emotionally and mentally having to try and deal with issues on a daily basis If it’s not leaking sink taps , it’s wrong piping , 3 colours of paints in the house mind u the wrong paint , it’s tripping electricity, wrong plan with wrong measurements … Please do not purchase a house with them .

The only issue that was discussed was the measurements of my house which u told me you getting a third party architect and u not even sure when that will happen.

2nd.. ln the mean time I’m still sitting with a house that’s got cracks , different colour paints and wrong paint to clarify,no shower holder , no soap holder , a leaking sink , broken steps outside and it was broke by your head of sales Department when he just stepped on it
This is a new house mindyou…

3rd .. I do not have a singed plan to my name , because Calgro M3 thought it was right for them to sign on my behalf I don’t know if that’s even legal!!!
B . How does a plan get approved without the owner’s signature?

4th . I did not get any package or happy letter.

5th . Calgro M3 is completely ignoring the fact that I signed on my OTP for a plan of a 3 bedroom house and later on found that your offices put a wrong price on it but every one has signed it including the developer which I have full proof and proof of it being sent by the sales agent your excuse is it was not the stand that I got , as I said if that’s the case i do not mind having my 3 bedroom being built on the right stand that was originally signed for since the sales agent gave me a corner stand to shut me up well I’m not !

6th . Your Head of sales department admitted it with his own mouth infront of 2 witnesses that ā€œ my house has more issues than I know , a lot of people in the offices messed up with my house ā€œ and according to law that’s admission of guilt .

7th . I’m not backing down until calgro fixes their mess I’m paying a lot of money for my bond n I refuse to be ********** just like that.

I have contacted NHBRC regarding my issue and I hope I will be receiving positive feedback from calgro by Wednesday .

We are tired of being ********** by Calgro M3
And their Architect needs to inform us if it was proper material that was used to build this house and I want to see all the receipts for the material that was used to build my house as I have the right to check if it was bought in the proper hardware stores.

8th . Let’s not forget the br***ng that happens around here n I have proof n evidence, so try me!

Do the right thing Calgro M3 .

The only matter that was attended too is the matter of the house size which I was told you will find a third party architect , which you not sure when…

Wat about the rest of my issues ?

Johan tried to assist as he is always on site n sees our frustrations, until Head of Sales was involved who has no idea wat happens on site n has never bothered to come down until he came to see how much I know about my house.

I can link the emails too if I have too.
