Dishonesty, lies and excuses - Hlalakamnandi !!!

If you're looking for a house, don't you ever consider Hlalakamnandi!!!

App**** for a house July 2021, tell you what even now they haven't started building. They waiting for the NHBRC, you ask them what's the the hold up regarding this certificate and no one knows. They don't give you feedback, you always have to follow up your self.

 Dear Marvin, we are so sorry to hear how you have been aggrieved with the purchasing of your home. Hlala Kamnandi has an external agency that sell on our behalf and they are responsible for keeping the clients up to date on a regular basis. Unfortunately in your case from 2021, the council departments did still have impacts of Covid and system updates and errors that influenced their processes and delayed us from obtaining the required documents from them, we have no control over that, even though our team follow up continuously and also feel the frustration of not obtaining the documents from them according to our time schedule. We are legally never allowed to build without an approved plan from council and the NHBRC certificate. We also need to take into account the December to January annual builders closure period. But still, we are very sorry that in your case your house has taken longer than our average time period to complete a house.

The foundation ground works has started on your property.  Once completed the necessary inspection will take place before construction can start. It normally takes about 3 months for the construction of the property.
