Expected finish date November but pretty sure or hoping at least July. Not in a hurry so hoping the longer it takes the better the quality. We're still waiting on our foam cladding to our first floor! Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

Just waiting for the building permit from Whittlesea Council and we will be all go (hopefully next week). To date I can't fault the experience we have had with Henley hopefully it carries into the build. Our one tip would be make a second visit to Cosham before your colours. My wife and I walked around for 3 hours on our own and as a result our colour appointment took an hour and we felt well prepared. Look forward to seeing all your builds and following your progress.

Glad the thread has started to take shape. Hopefully it doesn't die out. Candice you're right choosing different tiles is an option. Here's some info on the tile showrooms. Apparently the Derrimut showroom is the place to go as they have the whole range. Unfortunately they were closed all last week so I didn't get a chance to go before my colour appointment but will head there this week if I can. Candice this is still an option for you, the girls at cosham said just to contact your admin if you want to change anything and it won't be a problem. TamZlat we extended our master by 600mm (under the eve). Our sales consultant said after we did that numerous costumers followed suit as he recommended it when they were deterred by the size compared to the lux q1 and even the belle q2 and he has since been told they will no longer approve changes. Not sure if this is just for the master extension or all changes. We also managed to get $3000 of our facade price at the end of the year. From my understanding this was sort of a 'good faith' discount and most customers got something like this if they asked. A couple of months later we asked if we could get further discount if we offered to put down $10000 deposit (only because we needed to spend the money by the end of March). Unfortunately the bosses have put a stop to all discounts as the market has improved and they feel they no longer need to do this to keep customers. Bit of a shame really. This is only what I have heard and could be misguided. Hopefully they continue to let people tweak the floorplans and make minor changes. Also wanting to get peoples opinions on the standard freestanding oven. At the moment I t's a technika TU950TLE8 had a look on product review and although there are only 8 reviews they are all negative. Henley offer $1000 back if you decide to put in one of your own but just don't want the hassle. The next upgrade is $700 but I'm not sure what model so can't research reviews. Might do some more digging on the standard one. Does anyone know how long it takes to get to tender from colours? Like I said I've survived the stressful colours appointment. So if anyone has questions about it ask away. Re: Henley Homes 19Apr 27, 2014 7:23 pm Hi Emz We found things moved very quickly after colours I think we did colours to contracts in three or four weeks. It slows down a bit after that as it is out of Henley and your hands. We are now waiting on the building permit, hoping we get it this week and building can start ASAP as we have had to go to our block and clear builders rubbish twice already.
