Wisdom Homes Questions & Answers

Hi Wisdom home representative
Anyone that we can contact aside from the CSR that handling our project. Is there a complaint/suggestion department.

what is your initial deposit required to start the process . We have a vacant land .we have been asked to pay a $2000 deposit and complete a KDR form. So not sure why . We saw your consultant recently amd she fave a vasic estimate but nwed more information aroud pricing prior puting a deposit

Hi there,
I recently made an enquiry for an off the plan terrace being built. Your website states to view a contract it will cost $500. However the sales consultant from Wisdom Homes is quoting me a 0.25% fee (which equates to near $20K). Why is the price to view a sales contract so varied and confusing? Also the funny thing is, the property has been on sale for more then 10 months and the sales consultant was saying "they cannot simply send a contract out to interested buyers due to a large number of enquiries they receive". Could you please clarify?

Hi Wisdom,
I was recently made aware that you have a new initial deposit process. The initial deposit is reduced to $500 (not $2,000). And the remaining balance of $1,500 will be paid at second stage. Can you please confirm when is the effective date for the new process with the initial deposit being $500??
Thanks

regards,
Janice

Hi Wisdom,
Can you please advise if we proceed with the initial deposit being made and surveyor diagram & soil report being completed. What is the T & C’s when proceeding with the deposit? In a situation, where we’ve gone to the tender appointment and we have withdrawn and wish not to proceed further with the tender, is there a penalty charge to the client if we do not proceed? What are the T&C’s on the initial deposit? Do we simply just lose our deposit? And nothing further. Please advise.

Thanks Joshua

Hi @WisdomHomes.

I was going to call, but after reading these reviews i thought i better start here in writing.
The rain over the last few weeks has revealed a leak in our roof (into the ceiling). I can see that you have requested some details from Arma S. regarding their build number, I can supply this when required. We received our keys in April of 2015.

Can you please advise of how we can have this leak resolved.

Thanks

Michael

How long is Wisdoms Structural warranty for homes built around 2015-16?

Are Wisdoms prices negotiable or locked in? I like really one of their designs but they are more expensive than the other builders Ive had quotes from. If they were able to reduce their price slightly ($20-$30k on a $650k build) i would be very keen to proceed.

I am looking at building a double storey home and was looking at Wisdom or Eden Brae. While our pricing is almost gone from 480k base price to 700k I am still unsure if Wisdom is the right choice. The reviews are quite confusing and much lower compared to other builders .... A lot of people we spoke to have said to stay away from wisdom and need to know if there is reason why real estate agents, mortgage brokers recommend to stay away

I am thinking of building with Wisdom Homes - I am a bit hesitant at the moment given the number of negative reviews. Would it be possible to contact some of the reviewers here directly via email?

The worst company ! No one to speak to! Worst communication. Trying to talk about my frustration with building and they won't let me speak to anyone ! Please can a high manger get in contact with us asapQ

Hi, we are building with Wisdom at Colebee. Inspiration 34 house. We started of with lots of hickups with Admin team such as paperwork process being delayed. Our land got released in Feb 2014 and I am told we are getting house keys in mid April this year. During this period the project managers changed. My main concern here is the water connection for the fridge. Since being our first home we had no idea we were supposed to ask for this connection. After looking at other houses when we questioned why during sales stage we were never asked about the connection. Now it is becoming too late and the variation itself is costing us $1000 apart from plumbing charges. I just need to ask if anyone was asked if they needed the water connection when they initially signed the contract???

Our wisdom home was finished in July 2012, and basically every cornice in the house has cracked. One very large one that's split down into the gyprock around 40cm. We asked wisdom maintenance to come out, maintenance supervisor was booked and advised us they would do nothing as it's just the house shifting. I would firstly like to know if this is common and why would this not fall under structural warranty??

After going through all the reviews here I am scared what to do ? I have paid the booking amount for the house and land package in Oran Park with wisdom and the construction is due to start around February 2015.I have selected Washington 32 and have asked for many upgrades as well .It will cost all about $700000 and this is our first home .But to be honest after reading all reviews I am not very sure to go ahead with them or cancel the booking . Any suggestions or comment would be appreciated. If some one have got the house in that area if they can recommend some good builder and I can start the research all over again .

Has anyone had any problems with the payment schedule? we cant any bank that will pay the 25% 1st schedule. All banks are telling me this is not Australian Standard and that they will only pay 20% for the 1st variation and wisdom homes are refusing to budge on this. Yes I have already paid my 5%, However we were not told by wisdom that their payment schedules do not follow Australian standards.

I am building with wisdom and the construction is due to start around March 2015( hopefully). But after reading all the reviews, am wondering, how will my overall experience be, should I be scared with this all review? Should I disregard all the possibility of bad experience and think I will be one of the happiest to build with wisdom?
