Browse Forums Building A New House Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 61Oct 16, 2009 10:30 am didnt make it done there, but i cant wait for it all to be over we have colour selection soon thats scary gonna drag him to look at some displays get an idea for colours http://bekndarrenshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 62Oct 16, 2009 10:47 am yeah colour selection was scary for me too at first but once u pick the basics then the rest just falls into place. we found a few things we wanted werent available though. i wanted a black roof ( colourbond ) but they dont make black, just a dark charcoal grey so we had to settle with that. render colours is scary coz there just on a cardboard swab and its hard to imagine what they will look like as render but hopefully it turns out ok. i spend ALOT of time at display homes taking pics and then working out what i liked and didnt. good luck with it all and try and have fun with it ! Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 63Oct 17, 2009 5:23 pm so is titling happening tommorrow Nicole? wend down there today i see where the pegs end of stage 14 and there is work beyond that so its looking promising i amm now aiming for land be Christmas http://bekndarrenshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 64Oct 19, 2009 11:57 am NO TITLES TODAY!!! Called today said the electricity audit didnt get finished before the rain came last week hoping to get it finished this week with nice weather. Then it has to go through council (we'll see how long that takes) They hope to have it all titled by at least two weeks. but then in two weeks who knows??? Tried to explain that we are really pushing it to make it for time lines? anyone else in a pickle?? cross toes and fingers for next try!! Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 65Oct 19, 2009 12:16 pm this is my latest on stage 15 The only update which I have receive at this stage is that stage 15 has been delay due to our developer trying to get access to the sewerage on the abutting property on black forest road. The council and our developer have had a meeting with the abutting property and everything is now resolve. Due to the hold up from the other developer titles for stage 15 the titles will not be on time for November release. The developer is now scheduling another meeting with the contractors and to find out how many machine do they allow onsite with their license to have the construction completed and to give us a time frame. As soon as this meeting is organise I will have further updates. Regards, [***] http://bekndarrenshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 66Oct 19, 2009 1:23 pm I got the same story Tracey. Though all she told me was " waiting on the electricity audit, then it will be really really soon " but ya know what ? Ive been hearing " really really soon " since last yr so its a bit stupid now to keep saying that. 2 weeks ago she virtually told us the titles would be in and book in settlement for the 19th oct, now a few more weeks ??? Its so frustrating coz i have the mortgage broker asking if there ready, the conveyancer asking if there ready, and if it carries on much longer we will have to re-apply AGAIN just to get our loan. Do you have a deadline or something with the builder Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 68Oct 19, 2009 1:48 pm Its frustrating isnt it. We bought back in dec last yr, cant beleive its almost been a year now. We've already had to re-apply with the bank 3times, its non stop all the documents they need, up to date statements and pay slips, the works. Dont know if our hope of getting a slab down by xmas will happen nemore. Im yet to hear any good news stories, dont know if all estates go through this or its just ours but it sure is frustrating ! Just one delay after another and another and another.......... Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 69Oct 19, 2009 3:18 pm hiya, i have not yet had to re apply but i have been given until the 20th november. i am hoping it goes through before then. my builder is just waiting on the land but i need it to go through asap for my bank loan lol Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 70Oct 19, 2009 3:29 pm annoying isnt it. our builder wanted to be started by mid nov, thats so not gonna happen now i wouldnt think. its frustrating coz when u look at the land it looks perfectly fine now to put a slab down but its all the paperwork holding it up ! Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 71Oct 21, 2009 10:26 am Hi nicole, spoke to [***], the electricity audit has now been done and all paperwork is in with the council. They are expecting a call from council in next day or so to say all has been done and titles hopefully end of week but prob next week I'd say.. CROSS FINGERS Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 72Oct 21, 2009 11:54 am Hi Tracey, finally some good news. She's very optimistic all the time isnt she lol. I'd say next week too being as its Wed arvo already. Maybe our hope of a slab down by xmas might just come true !!! Thanks heaps for the update, ill tell my partner he will be Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 74Oct 21, 2009 3:25 pm Yep i know how u feel. I remember walking into the sales office last Dec. Now were almost in Nov and still no titles. Its a bit much really. All the excitement of chosing the house, picking colours etc now feels like it was a lifetime ago. The day our slab finally goes down and it all begins i will be celebrating with a glass of wine or 10 !!! Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 75Oct 24, 2009 12:41 pm we have worked out where our dirt patch is- you have garven street the next one along that has just been dug out we are on the end if it on vaghan chase if you look at it going along vaughn we are 3 down from the end of stage 14. i am now excited http://bekndarrenshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 78Oct 30, 2009 9:32 am hey nicole I've been meaning to jump on. I got a call from my people yesterday to say its all been done and my settlement was booked in for the 11th. At least the land part has been done but my builder recons he wont start till after christmas.. Oh well one at a time hahahaha Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 79Oct 30, 2009 12:52 pm Oh yay congrats. Were waiting to book in our settlement date, hopefully it will be @ the same time. JG KING are saying they will be on site @ 6-7 weeks after settlement so that take it to virtually xmas, so doubt ours will be started before then either. Cant wait to see all the houses start going up now, it will be exciting. The shops are coming along good out there too, stopped by yest and they look really good ! Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 80Oct 30, 2009 4:03 pm i am truly happy for stage 14 guys. It just feels good for us to see a stage being delivered for building. It finally happens, though it might take more time than anticipated.

My suggestion is, what are you looking to build and why. This will all be impacted by the local councils planning scheme. Familiarise yourself… 6 5959 7 30509 I have posted this before: We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing.
