Hi Obi-Wan Who are you building with? PDU

Photos have not come through, can anyone help with advice. Thanks PDU

Have just started building our new home with Rossdale. So far am very impressed with the overall quality and standards employed. Our site stands out from everyone else due to the cleanliness. The site was cleaned and levelled again after the slab was laid and each morning I walk past the site is tid...

My wife is having a "veggie spray" in the laundry and will wash the large pots in the laundry tub thereby avoiding the problem of splashing in the island sink. Her idea not mine!! PDU

Hi Adlse We're building in Adelaide with Rossdale but there are two Statesman homes at present under construction adjacent to us. I am keeping an eye on the building method and quality out of interest. Aren't they a division of Hickinbotham? Regards PDU

Susan There is nothing wrong with aspiring to better things as long as you can afford it, it doesn't go to your head and you become a different person along the way. After all, we work hard enough for our money (well most of us anyway) and after our pimp (the ATO) takes his cut we must make the most...

Yak_Chat Have they finished refitting yet. When I went there were a lot of empty spaces. PDU

Hi Susan I presume you wish to design your home from scratch, hence the need for an architect. We are building with Rossdale. We have taken one of their existing designs as a base and modified it the way we want it. We have made extensive changes and have been pleased with the help and suggestions o...

Hi Susan Where and who are you building with in Adelaide. regards PDU

Hi rellie We asked the bank for another valuation as we had heard that the valuers they had used had a reputation for undervaluing and to make matters worse normally value in the affluent eastern suburbs not in the north where we are. We politely reminded the bank that our business account was at ri...

Thanks Lotte Mortgage insurance won't help me with thi. I have already signed the building contract with the banks telling me everything has been approved and no reference to valuation. I am now left with two options fork out of my pocket $52,000 or loose a minimum of $8,000 in builders costs and re...

Thanks for your reply. I'm in SA I don't want to change bank unless absolutely necessary as they have given a special rate with the land and house with no fees or penalties when I pay out the loan early, which I will when I sell my present home. Regards PDU

Please see my post under General Discussion - Valuation Problem Thanks PDU

Hi everyone My project has been going along nicely with finance approval, plans and building contracts signed and on time. I have now been told by the bank that the valuation of the property is $52,000 less than the total value of the house and land. This is on a new sub-division within an establish...

Minor structural changes should be possible, however there could be an additional charge. We identified a problem, after we had signed our contract, but resolved it quickly. Our original instructions were to make our double garage slightly smaller by replacing two single doors with one double and th...

I'm in SA and the water tank is the last thing they install, how come yours has been done before groundworks have been completed? PDU

Can you clarify what you mean by re-site? PDU

Hi First Timer Ray Just a suggestion re your bricks. After having visited the selection centre where you can view and choose from square metre laid, ask for the address of a house in your area built with the same brick. It will make your selection not necessarily easier but with more confidence. Reg...
