Is there anyone knows can we move into our new house before we are receiving the...

We’ve been living in our house for five months now and we are still waiting for our code of compliance. Hopefully it’s on it’s way as council consent was given almost four weeks ago. We are fully insured so my understanding is it’s fine.

Might be an idea to check with the local council as well, surprised the Insurance co would agree. Also building co will probably require payment within days of moving in. We did this and it created problems. Under our contract, moving in constituted the beginning of the maintanence period, even thought there were outstanding items requiring finishing which took 3 months to complete, hence no maintainence period. Get the building co to approve your move in writing before you move in. Hope this is help full.

Hey, yes you can move in. Usually you will have to sign some kind of disclaimer agreement with the builder and of course they will want paying in full. From personal experience, most banks and insurers these days are happy to lend/insure just on the final inspection certificate from the Council rather than the CCC. As for the maintenance period, that is something you might want to check if it will be affected. If you signed your contract for the build after 1 January 2015 then you are actually covered by the new law under the Building Amendment Act which gives you a full 12 months maintenance period (this doesn’t apply though if your contract was signed before that or if work was done before that). Hope you enjoy your new home! 🙂
