I definitely would not recommend this business to anyone at all!!\They are Snakes!
DREAM STEALERS!

Niche Living are definitely without a doubt a company to avoid dealing with and NO this BAD review is not about us being disgruntled customers. It is merely warning potential buyers to be aware of being victims and having your dream stolen.

We did not even get to the build stage! We had our contract cancelled before finance was approved and therefore (lost our block of land that we hoped to build on. Lost our $45000 Grants (Lost Our Dream! )

They used a loophole in our contract to say that we were in breach because we did not have our finance approved on time so therefore without any warning some other person within their company had been offered more for our block of land so they cancelled our contract and went and sold it to another buyer FIRST and then told us after the fact in an email.
Not even the courtesy of a phone call!!

When we decided to gain finance through our own lender we discovered that the contract to purchase had just expired so we immediately called them and was told ( Don’t Worry we have applied an extension amendment on your contract) so with that we requested a copy of the contract (In Writing) that states that amendment and extension. Again we were told (Don’t Worry, you have an ongoing extension so don’t be worried and a new written contract was not necessary.

So following that. Their broker Who had his nose out of joint because we approached our own lender for finance which we had every right to do so.

Their Broker advised us that whatever deal that we could come up with, he could Beat IT so he then coerced us to use him to gain us finance.

By doing this caused a further delay for us having to jump through more hoops, provide fresh documents one after the other while all along they kept moving the goal posts. Thus creating more confusion and more and more delays;

When all of a sudden we were advised that their property prices had gone up so therefore we needed to increase our deposit significantly and also we will have to accept a higher interest rate on our loan repayments overall

Because we were thinking about where and how we could magic up more money this created a further delay. The bottom line was because they were impatient they decided to give us the flick by using a clause in their contract that said we have breached it by not coming up with approved finance on time!!! .which we were told repeatedly that the contract had an indefinite amended expiry time???
And Then! We had to Fight to get our deposit back!!

SO! Potential Buyers Please Do not deal with this company, their Sales and Finance people are without a doubt Deceitful, Dishonest Liars who do not care about their customers, Only how much money they can rip out of your hard earned savings

Two of their sales tactics are;
1. They will try to take your deposit quickly by telling you that unless you sign now you could miss out on your block

2. They will try to get you to sign your contract without giving you a chance to read it and understand it

Another point is their bad habit of poor communication and continually giving out misinformation
Please read the (FINE PRINT) in their contract which is full of misleading information
Have it checked by a Lawyer before signing.

Potential Buyers ( BEWARE!!!! )
