    I am dealing with Homes by Avi, not sure what their finances are like, but this has me spooked.
    Yeah, we're seriously considering backing out.
    The sale rep. was insisting that business would be normal, because valmont has been doing quite well and there shouldn't be any issue. I'm thinking its unnecessary risk.

    Is you fear then, as a buyer, that you're going to put your deposit down and UBG won't be able to finish the project because their creditors will try to collect from them?

    I worry about them cutting corners because of their own internal crisis. After completion, who knows what kind of support you might get. Also if the company goes down before project finish, we may not get deposit right away, or at all. A little bit paranoid.

    Depending on whether the construction lender is allowing deposits to be used as equity or not will determine whether you can get the deposit back. Most of the construction projects that I've seen, purchaser deposits are held in trust at a lawyer.

    Yes, but only to $100,000

    Depending on the area, the developer, the builder, you might have to buy the lot, or 50% of the lot, or 20% or etc... that might add up to more than $100K.

    The warranty really needs to be rewritten. It doesn't protect you unless your house is falling down. My friend bought a house in the late 90s in signal hill and the foundation is like a sieve. He didn't get any warranty help at all for his 1 year old house...he had to sue the builder to get it fixed.

    ANHW doesn't cover anything and they do their absolute best not to cover things.

    It needs to be abolished as it is completely useless.

    Sorry to bring up a year old thread.
    Anyone else affected by this? Over a year later, UGB/Valmont has sold the entire project to another developer. Now the new developer is asking for extra money to cover the added cost, or they give back your original deposit. UBG screwed a lot of people over, by saying they have approved financing and the project construction will continue.

    We have a deposit on one unit, that we're considering walking away with our deposit. Our cost difference isn't much, but others have their's increased $20K+
