Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New Living Homes 5Jan 13, 2014 8:17 pm I am building an investment home with them. I have found no hidden costs. The process is very streamlined. It's just waiting for land to register which takes the most time. This is a developer concern not with the builder though. Customer service is fantastic... I deal with Linda at spring farm for everything. I built with a different builder for my current home, and was passed to many different people throughout the admin side. Very convenient getting things signed and dealing with the one person all the time. I also find their upgrades reasonably priced. I upgraded to flyscreens, security doors, full turf to property, clothesline, letterbox, tiles to traffic areas that's all I can think for the moment.

Re: New Living Homes 6Jan 31, 2014 2:27 pm My partner and I just put a deposit on a tender for the "grevillea 4". They do a fixed price contract and have been completely straight forward with everything. We are dealing with Tony at the spring farm office. He is down to earth and completely honest. I don't feel like we are talking to a salesman when we go to see him. The inclusions are great value for money I think. For first home buyers and people who want a nice home but don't want to go too extravagant or blow their budget I'd highly recommend them. Re: New Living Homes 7Feb 09, 2014 6:31 pm Starting to get excited... The land registered Friday. It will settle on the 26th. I am hoping NLH start before April... I will keep you posted.

Re: New Living Homes 9Mar 27, 2014 8:33 pm I had red pegs last Friday and a site scrape two days ago and road base is laid down for a temp driveway. Yesterday I had to connect the electricity so it's ready for the builder, and today a site fence went up. Can't wait to see what progress is made next week.

Re: New Living Homes 15May 27, 2014 8:19 pm Hi 1sttimebuilding2012, I'm thinking of going with NLH for my first home as well. How's your build coming along? Are you happy with NLH so far? Did they lock-in your site costs or did you go over? Any hidden costs so far? Sorry too many questions. Re: New Living Homes 16May 30, 2014 10:34 pm Its good to ask lots of questions. Once I signed my contract there were no other costs... Prices were fixed. Bricks are finished. So half way there.

Re: New Living Homes 18Jun 15, 2014 7:50 pm A lot of work has been done internally... Insulation, air con, wiring, plumbing, waterproofing, gyprock, cornice, and they are about to start to put the doors, skirting and woodwork around the doorways. I think I will be at lockup by the end of the week. Built a Hawthorne 31 with EB nessjeffdreamhouse.blogspot.com.au Building an investment now with New Living homes... We are at nearly finished...

Re: New Living Homes 20Jun 19, 2014 10:09 pm Hi everyone, sorry to bring up an oldish topic but I've signed my building contract with New Living Homes and am just waiting for land to register. I've been 100% happy with their customer service so far and love dealing with one person. Apart from the above posts has anyone else had any experiences they can share about these builders. And of anyone has completed their home can you please let me know what you were happy with or what could have been better. Thank you in advance! Hi there!
