Of course this can change if they find heaps of rock But so far, so good Yeah I was stoked when it came back as that. I had heard some horror prices for people building the rise and TG so I was expecting it!! When I went out to The Rise to see a builder they were quoting $15k for site costs because there is so much rock out there. She even said to me, the main road going down to the Rise is lined with all the excess rock. So next time I drove down there I had a look and sure enough...there was all the rocks in the form of a fence!! Aparently all the farmers around there are taking all the rock to build rock walls. Soon it will look like scotland lol I just hope that they don't hit rock and then I get another bill!! If my land will ever title that is!!! This waiting is driving me nuts!

Re: TARNEIT- WHERE TO BUILD 112Aug 14, 2009 8:11 pm How is everybody? Me, we always pass by TG and checked the houses. 3 lots already started building in stage 11. They were fast. For stage 12 and 13, there were a few also. We submitted our new contract (for the new grant) to the banks and still waiting for valuation. Re: TARNEIT- WHERE TO BUILD 113Aug 15, 2009 12:30 am just wanted to add my 2c I brought a house in stage 2 of tarneit gardens out house was one of the first built there. Got to say guys you making the right move! since buying there the place has gone up heaps. The new tarneit train station which will be right near the back of tarneit gardens will make values go up massive I believe we brought as an investment lived in it for a year and have had it rented for 3 years> IVe been blown away by the capital growth in the estate. As opposed to alot of estates in the area where prices have droped Tarneit gardens has held up well.

Re: TARNEIT- WHERE TO BUILD 119Aug 19, 2009 4:51 pm Hi maniradha and Reserv_26 We’re building in the Reserve as well, on Kambah street… Our house is due to be finished by November, hopefully. We’re building with RiverG and have been EXTREMELY happy with them.. well I am anyways. it has been great working with them and im hanging to move into our new home.. soon Do u all live near ur blocks? We moved to Truganina a few months back in order to be closer to our land.. and it really pays! Re: TARNEIT- WHERE TO BUILD 120Aug 19, 2009 9:12 pm we will be moving to the tarneit area to rent until our place is built (building in TG, stage 13A) but only cos of a ridiculous rent increase in yarraville where were are now i suppose it will be handy to be able to keep an eye on the place getting built also building with RG, please keep us all updated! Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17507 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10261 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9559 |
