Hi all we live in North Curl Curl, well we did until the recent storms!
The property was rented and we have lived there for 7 years. We frequently notified the landlord and agent of issues with the house and on the last property inspection by the Principle my wife and I indicated our concerns about cracking around the roof perimeter only to be told "they are settling cracks"!
In the recent storm we literally lost the entire roof and the Structural report that we have commissioned says the roof hold down structures were insufficient for this size and type of roof, they were held together by nails!
The landlord and Agent have walked away saying we have no case against them! My wife was 4 feet away from the crash zone when it happened, is there any responsibility towards psychological shock and trauma to her and the children? The rook landed in and on the pool, the results could have been much worse.
I am unsure of what to do next hence researching the subject and finding this forum, can you help or if not do you have contacts that are able to advise us on what we could do next?
Lovejoy
