I dont understand it at all, we currently already live on Haines Drive ( renting ) and have watched this stage go up from scratch. There hasnt been a huge amount of rocks/soil taken away at all. Certainly not enough to warrant $32,000 site costs. Were really disappointed, even more now that there are so many houses starting out there. The one on the corner of Haines even has the ROOF on now !!! We have told JG KING that they are to reduce the costs by $10,000 or we will walk away from the contract ( which luckily we can still do ) and they will give us an answer tomorrow. Otherwise its back to the drawing board and looking thru displays again which is something i dont want to go through. We have been waiting to find our neighbours in here lol, so you are to the left of us. I saw yesterday the fencing on your block all up and the ground work done for the slab, u must be very excited. Burbank build nice homes we looked at a few of theres, what design did u go for ? Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 93Dec 17, 2009 10:16 am oh Nicole im so sorry! hopefully they take ur offer! If ou go for a drive down the dirt roads into stage 17 you can see there is quiet a bit of rock around in that area so hopefully we dont have the same problem. Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 94Dec 17, 2009 10:53 am Hi Charlene Ive seen a bit of rock down that way, seems to be a bit more than the last couple stages, to be honest ive seen the rocks they take away and it really hasnt seemed that much. Hopefully u dont have the same problem, unfortutunately we found out at the last hurdle. Not even a hurdle really, we had signed all contracts but luckilly we had a clause subject to fnance. Im disappointed with JG KING to say the least. They have known about these fee's for months, now we face losing FHOG if we change. Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 95Dec 17, 2009 11:21 am Hi Nicole, I don’t know why Home one banned my old login. So I had to create a new Login. I am glad to find my neighbour in here.. How is Haines drive for living?? Hope your builder will come up with some good news for you. That’s right.. I am on your left….and guess what four of my close mates are building house in stage 14. Lot 1401 & 1402 are two of them. I am very excited. After such long wait we got our land ….its been a year already …. I hope I wont get any more further delays from Burbank. I am building camellia 2900. Let us know how you going with your builder ? Thanks for giving me update on my constructions. Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 96Dec 17, 2009 11:48 am Hi Naf Haines is great. We've been in there 3mnths now, very handy we will be able to keep an eye on the whole build process. Very little traffic, and lovely and quiet. Lots of people doing xmas lights at the moment too which is nice. That must be exciting building with 2 friends as neighbours, did u all buy your blocks together ? We also bought last december so 12mnths is alongggggg time ! When we bought ours blocks 1401 - 1403 were already gone so we got the 1404 ! Were happy with the size of it, hopefully should be a good size backyard. Ours is ( at the moment anyway ) the JG KING ARMADALE 230 - really hope we get go ahead with it as its our dream home. I just saw the plan of your house on burbank site it is very nice, i love the alfresco and living areas, nice and big. No probs about the construction update, looks like your slab will def be down soon ! Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 97Dec 17, 2009 1:15 pm Hi Nicole, We bought our land separately. The day I have put my deposit in I have asked my mates to check out the area. They loved it. They didn’t have any plans to build house at that moment. They made a decision within a day. Guess what three of them have gone with Camellia 2900 and one of them is going with Sailsboury. How is rent like up there ? My land size is 617 Sqm. How about urs? I think we got good deal with camellia. Our basic price was 164000 for 29.8sqm house. I am hoping I will get 7m of backyard. This is big enough for me to keep me busy on weekends. Do u guys work nearby? I don’t know how I am going to mange the travelling part. I have been living close to city all this time. I guess I will be used to this as time goes by. Nafiz Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 98Dec 17, 2009 1:48 pm Hi Nafiz We also bought seperately, put deposit on it last december. Our's is 654m2, my partner wanted a big yard. Its 35.5m long and 19.5 wide at the widest point. The block prices are so good for the size u get, u cant buy cheaper land anywhere. The camellia is def a nice house, how did u find the colour selection process ? I found it a bit daunting trying to pick all the colours but were happy with our final picks. We also lived close to the city, Brunswick. We both work in Airport West so we use the Western Ring Road each day. It has taken us a while to get used to traffic. We started off using Princes Fwy to get to work, that was a nightmare. Each day we leave home at 7:10am and the Princes was a mess. Traffic backs up right to the Point Cook bend and is a standstill all the way to the Westgate Bridge. If u work in the city i strongly recommend avoiding that road if u leave at that time of day. We cut through Tarneit then onto the ring road and get to work @7:50am each day, so it is a fair drive but traffic wise its ALOT better than Princes. We only used to travel 12mins each day to work, so at first it was a big change but now we are so used to it its actually enjoyable. Do u know the shops are open in our estate now ? Its a great little centre Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 99Dec 18, 2009 4:04 pm Woolworths now open. It is very quiet and lots of things are discounted because they don't sell. I got really good flowers the other day for $2.50 reduced from $15. Don't like the little s bend to get into the carpark, I think this will be really bad when it gets busier. Having an Aldi there will keep Woolies prices down. Best thing is we can do all our shopping in one spot. Re: First Home Buyer - Wyndham Vale VIC ! 100Dec 19, 2009 8:31 am Hi, i agree with the prices we've been finding alot of bargains too. Wish id seen those flowers though ! The S Bend is pretty bad, stupid design. Im trying out the hairdresser xmas eve, cant wait ! Not much in this responce. 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 5918 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 29003 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.
