DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER BUYING FROM CALGRO M3

I am writing with a heavy heart to articulate our profound concern and dismay regarding the persistent issues afflicting the apartments developed by Calgro M3 Developments, at Paperbark South Hills. As devoted homeowners residing in these premises for less than two years, we are compelled to bring to your attention the distressing state of our living conditions.

Despite our earnest efforts to communicate our concerns to Calgro, we find ourselves grappling with recurring problems that not only jeopardize our health but also underscore a concerning disregard for our overall well-being. It is disheartening to witness Calgro dismissing our legitimate worries as mere fixable snags, when in reality, these issues transcend triviality and pose a risk of long-term structural instability.

The recurring presence of mold, cracked walls, and dripping ceilings cannot be underestimated. Recent incidents, such as ceilings collapsing – fortunately without causing harm to occupants – have raised serious alarms. One cannot help but question if calamity must strike before our concerns are acknowledged as emergencies.

Compounding our distress is the unsettling observation that Calgro proceeds to construct another complex adjacent to ours, seemingly exhibiting identical issues even before accommodating occupants. This raises critical questions about the quality and integrity of their developments. We implore you to shed light on how Calgro consistently secures approvals for apartment construction despite their alarming track record.

In our possession we have communication exchange between us, the homeowners, and Calgro's response, revealing a regrettable dismissive stance. Despite our sincere listing of concerns, including the parking bay and unit discrepancies, the responses fail to acknowledge the gravity of the situation.

Our primary objective is not merely dialogue but genuine acknowledgment and appropriate compensation. Committing to a two-decade payment plan for properties deteriorating within the initial two years of occupation is profoundly unjust. What were initially envisioned as investments have transformed into our worst nightmare.

We earnestly seek intervention to ensure that Calgro M3 Developments acknowledges the severity of the situation and acts responsibly to rectify it. The sanctity of our homes and the trust we have vested in this investment demand no less.

Hi BathiniTo reaffirm, we met with you and fellow home owners on 29 November and we subsequently rep**** to you all on 11 December as per agreement with an offer to remediate any and all listed snags. As a group of home owners this offer was rejected and we were subsequently advised by the sender to await a legal letter which has not yet been received. Furthermore, on the 14th of December a specific and customised email that offered to establish a date and time to remediate the two list snag items, was sent to your sister, who is the registered owner as per our records. Thus far we have not yet had a reply. Please do feel free to contact us to allow for the listed snags to be remediated at an agreed date and time. 
Thank you.
Kind regards
Calgro M3 Developments

I would really like to know how will fixing the snags will solve an obvious lifetime issue of cracked walls and staircases which might fall anytime, the emotional and mental anxiety and health issues caused thus far by the mold? In my apartment alone, you have already fixed more than five times if I am not mistaken.

It's funny how you always want to pull out the card that the apartment is not registered under my name, yet from day 1 you have been dealing with me in regard to all issues pertaining to that apartment, what's worse is that on your possession you have an email from Nontobeko Mavuso written on the 15/11/2023 stating clearly that I am the one responsible for the apartment even paying for that mortgage. She clearly stated that all communication and correspondence should be directed to me. Now you come here and want to act smart with me? One thing about me you should understand, is that I will not ***er, intimidated nor be bul**** by Calgro. This is only the beginning, I will drag you in all social media platforms, news outlets, all media houses, even political parties since most of them are now eager to prove themselves since it's towards elections, post all the damage that's happening on those apartments, the falling and leaking roofs, the cracked staircases and everything in between, until I get the justice or compensation I deserve.
