Thank goodness, as the loan wouldn't have been finalized in time to settle the land. They also said we can apply for an extension if the house component of the loan isn't ready as long as we provide evidence that we are not holding it up. So relieved. It is tight on time.

Coral Homes - Modified Grange 23 My Thread: viewtopic.php?t=85959 Oh that is good we are waiting on land too but away so haven't done anything with contracts yet hopefully it may all flow into place upon our return It's definitely worth asking. Our bank said they won't process the land part without the house part. Coral said they won't start anything until they can access the land. Our land contract states settlement has to be 2 weeks after registration. Registration is due on 20th. Coral Homes - Modified Grange 23 My Thread: viewtopic.php?t=85959 Re: First Home- Coral Homes- Modified Grange 23 26Jan 20, 2017 2:13 pm No news on land registration today. Not sure if I should be upset that it's delayed, or happy because it gives us more time to sort out the contract for the loan. Coral Homes - Modified Grange 23 My Thread: viewtopic.php?t=85959 Re: First Home- Coral Homes- Modified Grange 23 27Jan 20, 2017 2:23 pm Fingers crossed it registers soon we are off to sign loan docs today so scarey reading all the fine print. No news on our land either I need to work out where I can search for it online Re: First Home- Coral Homes- Modified Grange 23 28Jan 22, 2017 3:17 pm Stopped in at the sales office today. Looks like registration is delayed. Thought this would help with getting our loan on track but nope, they still have us down to provide the finance even though the land won't register for another month! Frustrated to find that Coral didn't access the land even though we organised for them to go in early. This means we are no closer to getting our tender letter and therefore the contact for the loan. 😠 Coral Homes - Modified Grange 23 My Thread: viewtopic.php?t=85959 Re: First Home- Coral Homes- Modified Grange 23 29Jan 22, 2017 4:36 pm Tracyt Stopped in at the sales office today.

We enlarged ours too and hubby wants to fit it out himself but I'm thinking it may never get done The pantry was fitted with shelves in the original plan. We asked them to take 2 out on one side and fit a bench instead, no cupboards under, 2 shelves above. The bench is laminated and 1400 long. We also made the pantry bigger. All up we've been quoted a $855 allowance. Coral Homes - Modified Grange 23 My Thread: viewtopic.php?t=85959 Re: First Home- Coral Homes- Modified Grange 23 31Jan 22, 2017 6:46 pm Thankyou. We didn't like the thick shelves but the melamine skinny ones were $$$ thinking of doing it ourselves with shelves one wall and bench and shelves on other two to fit our freezer under one & bar fridge under other. So confusing sometimes which is the best $ wise. can't wait to see both ours built would love to take a visit to display. Have you seen pics of it? Someone posted some in general thread a while ago Re: First Home- Coral Homes- Modified Grange 23 32Jan 22, 2017 6:52 pm No i haven't! Would love to see though. We're putting our bar fridge and freezer under our bench. Lol great minds. We're going with the standard shelves for now. We thought it was something we can upgrade later if we want too.

Coral Homes - Modified Grange 23 My Thread: viewtopic.php?t=85959 Lol hmm I keep wondering if perhaps we should do same as you as otherwise I may never end up with shelves in my pantry lol will find pics and mess to you or share link I'm a bit hopeless on here Re: First Home- Coral Homes- Modified Grange 23 34Jan 22, 2017 9:05 pm Re: First Home- Coral Homes- Modified Grange 23 35Jan 23, 2017 7:34 pm Re: First Home- Coral Homes- Modified Grange 23 36Jan 29, 2017 1:23 pm BrownDog77 lol I'm the same I mapped out the area in our current house of all the room sizes to make sure all our furniture will fit have a thread "Grange 26 Billy's Lookout " I think??? Not much on it yet just our floor plan as hopefully our land registers around same time as yours will be exciting to watch them both go up though no doubt yours will be much quicker in QLD. We had to make dining bigger to fit our table comfortably and we are doing the option with it hub, WIL, larger ensuite. Thinking we will fit out our own ensuite with IKEA PAX as the ones others have done on here look fantastic. We also enlarged our pantry so might look at fitting that out ourselves too as cheaper than what we were quoted by C. So exciting but scary too. Don't forget to add a drain in yr laundry as not standard and make sure your garage door and water tank don't use the power points supplied as standard(if that makes sense?) ps love your Hollywood wardrobe and alfresco looks awesome Hey Brown Dog, we finally got a quote back for the addition of an extra drain in the laundry. They've quoted $80 which surprised us, thought it would be a lot more, so we've added an extra to the fridge bay in the kitchen too! Won't see it once the fridge is in but with a plumbed fridge I've seen first hand the water damage that can be done if the hose pops off!

Still waiting for results but we've ordered the tender letter now so we're in the queue. Also been told Coral have changed their intial deposit from $1750 to $2750. Has been increased so you get plans before contract is signed and not after. They are hoping this leads to less variations required. Our SC said we may be exempt as we paid before new year, but we've opted to pay to get the plans earlier. Landscape quote has come in at $15,500. That's nothing fancy, just meeting covenant and adding a gazebo! Can't wait to finally have a figure for the build and we actually know how much we're in for!!!
