Updates? Impish73, how did you go signing with HBC? We have signed our one page statement (yes one page!) confirming there are no changes to our finance situation so we are all good locking in our formal finance for another 90 days. We went for a visit to the estate on the weekend. The street is all finished and we are now officially on the map with a street sign! It's funny how you get excited over the little things.

Blog: http://dandesbuild.blogspot.com.au Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 113Sep 08, 2013 7:57 pm Oh I'd get so excited over a street sign to! Did you get the obligatory photo next to it?? Ok, an update. Paperwork for pre-approval went in last Wednesday. I got an email with a request for more information on Friday just gone, so I had to write a few spiels for BlueBay. It was all stuff that I've already been through with the broker, and was assured that it would all be totally fine, but it was enough to make me freak out a little!! I figure the fact that they're asking for more information and not just flat out refusing my loan is a good thing. Even though I know that it's all going to be fine, it still makes you worry a little! Ahhhhh the joys of first time finance :/ How's everyone else doing? Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 114Sep 08, 2013 8:25 pm If it makes you feel any better ez85...we were asked to supply more info TWICE after the initial lodgement. It is unbelievably nerve racking! I did get a photo of the sign (without me in it!) which is on my blog.

And I snuck over to your blog Pooks, the sign looks beautiful and shiny. So exciting My latest game to play is trying to work out what coolours I'm going to choose at the pre selection appointment. I never knew there were so many variations of white!! I've lost count of how many times I've changed my mind on what way to go. I'm hoping that I'll just get a stroke of inspiration on the day.... Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 116Sep 09, 2013 12:31 pm Hi guys, We just signed the land contract last Saturday and we will be seeing the guy from Resolve this Friday. I am a bit worried about getting finance. Not that confident that we'll get it anymore. I'm getting more and more paranoid.

The stage you are at is difficult on the emotions for sure! You go from getting so excited to nothing to being over it to hopeful etc. it's normal to be paranoid! Just make sure you have everything for Resolve on Friday. If you rent- take your bond receipt because this is "available funds" according to them (I didn't even think of that until they told me!). Take last years tax returns/recent payslips/print out of all bank accounts and credit cards. If you have room to move on credit or store cards- lower the limits. This helped us a lot! Also take birth certs/passports and card ID. I know it's daunting but your health check came back good so that's a good start!

Blog: http://dandesbuild.blogspot.com.au Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 118Sep 09, 2013 7:53 pm Thanks pooks! It is indeed a rollercoaster of emotions. We don't have a credit card, but we do still owe money for our cars. That's what I'm worried about. I declared it all on the Finance Health Check form but just the thought of it is so daunting. I think I'll stop obsessing on the Houzz app for now just in case we don't get it.

Well... we are all signed up for the Monarch 26. We have included quite a few upgrades already and haven't yet got to the colour / electrical appointments. Really excited about the next phase. We have been cruising new estates and looking at brick and roof colours. We really like the look of light bricks so Ash is at the top of the list. Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 120Sep 09, 2013 8:46 pm Hi impish73, sounds like you are progressing along nicely! What upgrades have you chosen so far?
