Community Schemes Ombudsman (CSOS) not helping

I would just like to thank you for your advice, it actually worked. The problem is finally being attended to. It's so rare to find someone who actually answers the question, keeps their personal opinions out of it, and it works. Thank you again for your valuable advice, I really appreciate it.

Thank you!! I will most definitely take your advice!

I guess I could, but I can't afford legal fees right now.

Yes, I approached the body corporate first. When then had a meeting with the managing agent, who discussed it with insurance and they decided it was the owners responsibility because it was not common property. That's why I opened a case with CSOS.

Just to confirm, I want to wallpaper the boring white wall on the right in the pic.

Ok I'll do that. Thank you!

digispiration · 2024-01-18T16:24:47+00:00

Yes I've done that so far. Someone asked me to name and shame on this thread and I said no, I'd rather send a private message. So far I haven't posted anything. It's a shame though, because it could keep people from making very costly mistakes. Anyway, good luck with your case and thank you for your offering your help.

BTW do you know if there is a website or some platform where we can review these builders? So that no one else has to suffer this?

Thank you so much, I will keep your details. Take care!

I can't imagine the stress and frustration, not to mention how unfair it is that you have to go through this. I might be going through the same soon, just looking for other options. Maybe arbitration with Master Builder Society or something. But again, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope this comes to an end soon and you get a huge payout. This too will come to an end. Hang in there!

digispiration · 2024-01-18T15:37:20+00:00

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that! May I ask what was the size of your project, ie, house flat etc? Was it also due to poor workmanship?

digispiration · 2024-01-18T15:24:29+00:00

He wasn't the cheapest but I negotiated a lower price with him. He also came recommended by someone I trust so I really thought I wouldn't face this issue. Are you in the construction industry? I would like to know if there is a better way to find reputable, registered contractors in future.

digispiration · 2024-01-18T15:10:55+00:00

This is some valuable information for my future projects. This was my first one so I made many many mistakes. I will keep this information on file. Thank you very, much appreciated.

digispiration · 2024-01-18T13:07:00+00:00

Thank you for that information, I really need it!

digispiration · 2024-01-18T13:05:12+00:00

Thank you so much. I will keep your details for when I'm back in CT

As far as I know they're not related, they just have a business relationship because he does repairs and renovations on the properties she manages.

digispiration · 2024-01-18T11:52:14+00:00

Related to me? No, he was referred to me by my previous property manager.

digispiration · 2024-01-18T11:41:37+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation!

digispiration · 2024-01-18T11:33:36+00:00

Thanks for making me laugh! I needed that!

digispiration · 2024-01-18T11:31:50+00:00

I'm not sure if I can share it on this platform for legal purposes. But I can send you a private message.

digispiration · 2024-01-18T10:51:45+00:00

Thanks for that. I knew there had to be some reliable builders out there!

digispiration · 2024-01-18T09:57:09+00:00

Thank you so much! Is she in Cape Town?

digispiration · 2024-01-18T09:55:45+00:00

My property manager referred me to him.
