It'll all happen so fast now Just got off the phone to the land office, and it looks like my block is ahead of schedule. Looking to title a few weeks early now, in mid-March. Exciting times ahead! Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 674Feb 04, 2014 3:25 pm Thanks for the congrats everyone! I'm going to drive to our site tonight for a little snoop! That's awesome that titles are coming in early Gaviscon Girl and Ez85. My settlement occurred only 2 weeks after the titles came through, I think that's pretty standard so not long now! (Mortgage and rent are so much fun...said no one ever! But it's a sign it's getting closer).

Blog: http://dandesbuild.blogspot.com.au Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 675Feb 04, 2014 8:07 pm Got a phone call from the site supervisor today, we are getting slabbed tomorrow!! Woohoo!! And he said should have the frame up next week!! It's all happening!! Pooks did you go have a peak at your slab? For those waiting on titles - it will feel like it takes forever but the build will be here before you know it! Hang in there! Gaviscon girl - I know what you are talking about with the rental! Ours is a mess, needs so much work! Funny thing is our landlords son and wife will be moving in after us so I'm guessing it won't stay this way for long when we move out! Sucks!

Our slab was laid last Friday, went to see it...looks great! Pity I couldn't say the same for the Boutique slab a few doors down! We had a site/slab clean done yesterday, windows were apparently delivered today and frames are being delivered tomorrow. So we should have frames finished by about next Tuesday- it will take about 3 days. Our site supervisor called today to let us know all that AND that he won't be our SS anymore as he is taking over the Pakenham jobs so we have been allocated a new SS who is apparently calling me tomorrow. Things will fly now! Estimated completion is the end of May.

Blog: http://dandesbuild.blogspot.com.au Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 677Feb 06, 2014 7:00 pm Great to hear everyone is making some progress Thought I'd pop in and give an update. Due to some issues we had with resolve, we jumped to another broker. In just under three weeks, we got formal approval and we signed off on our new loan. Now we are just waiting on our land to settle. It was supposed to be in December On HBC front, we got developer approval not too long ago. Now just waiting on our building permits. Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 678Feb 06, 2014 7:56 pm Hi Niccles, congrats on the formal approval! I'm sure your settlement is not too far away. Surprising (and great!!) to hear that HBC are still getting the approval and permits together while you are waiting on settlement. This should mean things will happen quickly for you afterwards....and not have to wait the 15 weeks as I did!! Our frames went up today. So exciting! My walk in linen is huge!
