Aparently the exchange has not been upgraded to cope with the amount of houses in the area. Re: Calling everyone who's planning to build at Karinya pt cook 64Nov 15, 2009 11:19 am Settlement this coming week guys!

Re: Calling everyone who's planning to build at Karinya pt cook 66Nov 16, 2009 1:35 pm Im hopefully building with Formula Homes, but they too will need some direction as to who to send it to for approval. Our developer/development isn't exactly as large as Alamanda or Featherbrook with their own land sales office for more info. We have to rely on PC RE to direct us and they ain't that helpful in returning calls or emails. about it. Have you already submitted for approval? Im told settlement if Wednesday? I think I need an extension already lol. Damn banks! NO EXPECTATIONS, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!

My conveyancer is trying to get an extension for settlement as the bank is sooo slow, but there is no reply so far Re: Calling everyone who's planning to build at Karinya pt cook 68Nov 18, 2009 4:52 pm Well our settlement was planned for 2pm today. I got a call from my solictior this morning to inform me that settlement would no longer be going ahead today as the bank left my partners middle name out of all the loan documents (which we didn't pick up on as it did have her name, just not her middle name). We went in to the bank today, signed everything and now we've got to book in settlement again. Fun times!

Anything I can do about the interest? Yapit Re: Calling everyone who's planning to build at Karinya pt cook 70Nov 20, 2009 9:10 pm We had to pay 2 days of penalty interest even though it was the bank that made the error and only on the day of settlement realised that Sarah's middle name wasn't on the loan paperwork.

Yes, there are 2 slabs down and another site cut taking place. I'm still waiting for a site start. Doesn't look like it will be before Christmas now which is really annoying!

As of today there are 3 slabs down, 1 of which has a frame (has had for a few weeks now), a few site scrapes are underway and a few sites with portaloos, temp fencing and bins. We're told that our site scrape will happen tomorrow *fingers crossed* Our house thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=18335 Re: Calling everyone who's planning to build at Karinya pt cook 76Jan 12, 2010 9:56 am This is fantastic news!

They've also marked out for the site scrape which is great news! Looks like tomorrow might be a go-er. I'll start a thread soon, I've been really lazy. Any idea when your build is going to start?
