We have a massive easement at the back of our block - its about 9m x 21m so we are fairly restricted by this. We won't have a backyard (hopefully one day they will shut down the water tower at the end of the street) but we will have a fair bit of side yard which we are happy with. At the moment we are looking at Rawson and Hotondo. Rawson has the bigger house and seems to have better inclusions, plus we like their design the best. I think we will be putting down our $950 for a tender with Rawson at the end of the month to secure the price before it goes up at the beginning of December. Only problem is we want to have a 4m setback instead of the usual 4.5m from the front of the block. We didn't even know we could do this - it was Rawson who told us to ask about it. Apparently they have done a lot of homes at Georges Fair and they build homes up to 200ml from the fences! I spoke to council about this on Friday and the Town Planner thought it would likely be approved. We originally looked at Wisdom but their design was 5m wider so we get more backyard with the Rawson one. We drove around Georges Fair on Saturday afternoon looking at the construction sites, mainly at the Rawson ones. We had already looked at houses in progress at Minto and were not impressed at all! Kind of seemed like the brick work was a bit sloppy etc (not that either of us really know what we are looking at). Thankfully the ones at Georges Fair looked much neater.
