Hi,
I am buying a new house, though it is not 注文住宅. When I made the decision to purchase the house, none of it had been built yet, so the owner (I am not using an agent) offered that I could customize it as if it were 注文住宅. I had a meeting with him in early June and discussed all the customizations.
After I applied for the loan, he started to become worried because the construction can’t be delayed just for me, so to get my customizations I would have to get a loan ASAP and he recommended applying for a bank that would give me a higher rate but a faster approval, and I could just use whichever one I wanted after that (basically to get my customizations confirmed get approval quickly).
Well, the bank I originally applied for ended up coming through sooner than expected, and I have in writing that we made it in time for the customizations. Of course in person there was plenty of 間に合ってよかったですね conversation as well.
Now the house is halfway done being built. I went out to check the progress in person and the door is a completely different style and color than requested. I contacted the owner and he said 注文住宅ではなく建売販売物件である and that the door and one other request inside the house “didn’t make it in time”.
But he didn’t tell me that, nor did he seem intending to tell me that since I discovered it myself a month after he told me we made it in time…
Looking back on my original correspondence with him in May, when I just did a viewing, he said 建売住宅ですが、注文住宅のようなカスタマイズ物件は稀ですので、ぜひ前向きにご検討いただければと存じます。
I’m just not feeling great about it, as the door itself is 60万… I’ve asked to see the 発注書 but I was told sorry it’s 建売
Any advice besides just cry in a corner?
