Browse Forums General Discussion Re: So who's in Sydney/NSW? 23Jun 17, 2009 7:17 pm We are in the Sutherland Shire also. We are not building as the first time 28 years ago was so horrendous that we will never do it again. However we are renovating. The main bathroom, laundry and bedrooms have been redone and we signed the contract for our new kitchen today. An interesting fact is that our new kitchen plus appliances is going to cost the same as our entire house did all those years ago. So we almost feel like we are building again. Re: So who's in Sydney/NSW? 24Jun 17, 2009 7:24 pm Yep I know what you mean, my parents built a 4br home in 1970 for $15k (I think) and 9 yrs later an extra living room and carport cost another 8. Crazy. I won't ever build again either. It's not fun.
Re: sydney first home loan advice 26Jun 17, 2009 10:32 pm thlo That's OK Jochicho (thank you for the thought). There's always the next home or the investment property to keep me in mind for! Unfortunately it's too late to assist borrowers most of the time after the wrong decision is made. Borrowers really need to work out a strategy with the help of a qualified mortgage broker before a decision is made. Next home????? I don't think I'll ever get into this crazy building business again!!! It's probably put me off buying again too! and we've only had benching on Monday... But I'll certainly keep you in mind if anyone asks if I know a reliable broker!
