Hi!
Happy to have stumbled upon this place! We've just put a holding deposit on a block and house plan in Carrum Downs, Melb - pending fiance, we're off to a mortgage broker tomorrow with everything we have crossed.
At the moment we're renting and the last 3 places we've lived we've received notice to vacate due to sale of property letters around the 8 month mark. Very irritating. My youngest daughter has had more homes then she's had birthdays!
We were saving slowly with the idea to build the ultimate house in 4 or 5 years time, but we've scrapped that, are now planing build a house that is just big enough, with minimal inclusions, that we can improve upon and sell in 5 years time and then build the ultimate home!
At this stage the land wont be released until the end of the year, signing all the paperwork by the end of Sep for the FHOG, and the slab should be down in Jan, move in date around June 2010. Worth the wait I'm sure!!
So anyway I'll be here to pick your brains for awhile yet! Looking forward to getting to know you all, there seems to be a few people building around our area!
Cheers!
