Hi All,
I bought a house in 2014 which was built in 2006 but didn't I know had pyrite. At the time I got credited surveyor to survey the house and he didn't see any signs of pyrite.
The bank also sent an experienced local valuer in the area he didn't see anything amiss.
In 2016, I got told by a neighbour that a few houses in the 34 house estate were showing signs of pyrite . I didn't worry at the time firstly.. because my house hadn't shown any signs of pyrite and second I thought that if anything did develop that id be covered by the pyrite redress board.
In 2017 I started noticing cracks developing above doors.. etc etc and after doing research into the pyrite redress scheme I discovered that
“Where a person purchased a dwelling on or after 12 December 2013, that person is not entitled to apply for inclusion of the dwelling in the Scheme where he/she knew or ought to have known that the dwelling was constructed using hardcore containing reactive pyrite.”
Is anyone in a similar situation or aware of someone who is?
I didn't knowingly buy a house with pyrite and I done all I could at the time from a buyers point of view ie getting he house surveyed etc.
has anyone heard of any other cases similar to this?
regards
Sean A
