Atherbogan had same issue 12K under.
Builders just pushing their prices or banks are tight on valuations ?

What design are you building ?





I think its the valuer and the bank trying to make more money.

We are getting a second valuation as where we are nothing similar with a high end finish has sold for less than 490k.

Very disappointed with the bank but will see what happens as if it remains I cant see it foing ahead unless the builder wants to provide something of a carrot........



How did it go with Valuation ?



We decided to pay the additional funds to make the build move forward.

Valuation remained low.

But adleast its getting done and hopefully will look great.

Just want to say "Hi" and "Thank you"... for all the awesome feedback/advice l have read throughout this thread. We have found it invaluable as this is our first time building and as you all know can be a bit overwhelming.

We have purchased the Vibe 22 and added a kids retreat instead of the standard fourth bedroom.. We have signed the PWC and had the colour appointment already. Can't wait to start building when our land titles next year. Looking forward to watching everyone's else's home building experience with Homebuyers centre, as well. Especially grateful to LILPOM, for your advice regarding the storm interior (white grout intead of the standard grout colour, it saved the day). Cheers...


Welcome! I too have just signed my PWC with land titling next year. I agree with you in regards to the store interior, the white grout looks so much better! Looking forward to reading and keeping up with your journey as well
Hi everyone! We are building the Willow25 in Pakenham. I posted a few pages ago. Today we went to Werribee/west side to look at some themes in person. After looking at the book a million times we fell in love with the mist theme. Especially after seeing it today. If anyone knows someone that chose this theme please tell me if the bathroom comes with cupboards in latte lini like the book or stone grey as in the display house we went to. The booklet and sales people are saying different things so its very confusing
. Also the booklet says laminate changed to Bolero Nordic Grey however guy at sales place said it was the upgrade in the book (diramu brushbox). This was in werribee. Its just so confusing! We did take photos of everything though.
So basically apart from my rant, wanting to speak to anyone who has chosen the mist theme

It was tough going but I got the go ahead today. I had to let go of my outdoor living area but I'm thinking of getting a personal loan so I can put it back again asi just think my house won't be the same without it. Fingers crossed we start construction by March

We got told most trades comeback last week of January but some do start early . Its annoying we are in the same boat.
