My sister is on the phone to me as she is now in the market - not sure what she will do! From my side of tow...

The time for completion for my Oxford22 is 240 days.. that is 8 months!!!!!!! I was told repeatedly from the salesperson in the display house, to the colour selection, to th...

Re: land loan, do we need formal approval now or later?Home Finance

Dec 06, 2009 9:29 pm

Yeah it does. Still a huge Atlantique fan, but hey I think I could do worse than the Bordeaux!! Actually love the Tarneit display - it really does feel like a home. They've done a great job in presenting it.
