Freddie, I'm so sorry that cowboy has done that to you.
I'm fed up with my house too and it was built by a supposedly high end company but when they are busy they will hire any contractors to get a job done.
Last night I felt like taking photos of all the cracks in the walls and cornices and sending them off but I don't suppose they will be interested now.
A whole chunk of plaster fell out of the wall yesterday when I was cleaning cobwebs.
I went through a big hooha with them complaining about the cornices when they first went in but they said it's always like that and then they are patched and painted and not to panic. Well wrong. After a few years they were all in a hell of a mess again.
We have a 7 year building warranty here in Vic plus building guarantee should builder no longer be registered bankrupt etc.
While I did have some issues with my new house all has been rectified.
Your cracks may be a result of unstable ground rather than workmanship but surely still covered. Cracks like that are usually seen I olxer homes following major earth settling and after long spells of intense dry weather.
