Well she received her payment (through the real estate agent as she left no contact details on the invoice just her business name and abn no.) in full.

I have recently messaged her saying I will be asking for payment for the damaged flywire and to confirm she recieved payment (which apparently she has from real estate agent) but I have not heard back as yet and doubt I will hear further.

Gert - although you think her payment is fair....I think if you saw what she actually did it's a pretty poor effort especially since we didn't do the dirtiest things which were more important to me that she said she would and also the fact that she spent longer than she said she would and only did half of what she said.

Tasty you know best fer sure.  I have to confess I do have A certain sympathy for  GOOD  ( not shouting just  emphasisng MM)  cleaners . There are a lot of rat bags out there and obviously you got a gem of one.

I get it and it is sooo disappointing.  I have to say that buying a house is very stressful and Real Estate agents do not make it any easier.
They promise the world and often fail to deliver. Tears all around.   I may have to confess my daughter and partner are both RE agents . Having said that my DH's partner is exceptionally  ethical. My DD works in law so knows the ropes.

I know your stomach sunk at the sight. You were totally distressed . I was there with you. But also  l would  be totally p****d off at the owner and the RE agent who collected the commission. I would be more angry at the RE agent who recommended her friend knowing it was an impossible task and was possibly  collecting a commission from her as well..

It was a really bad nasty experience. I am glad you posted it. A warning  to all of us and especially any of us shopping for a new house like Frozzie.

It is not difficult to have these things written into the contract if it is an issue. Also good to,negotiate a lower price for cleaning  up,the crapola.

And also  an inspection before the cheque changes hands is  essential.  It is amazing how the buyer can control  it the contract is well written.

Tasty I would not wish your experience on anyone. I am sure you have been sick in the stomach over the whole sorry mess.

Wow, the more I read about it, the more I know how blessed I was having bought our house from owners who really looked after it when they rented after settlement.
Think I'll send them a little bonus as a thank you...
