Browse Forums Building A New House Re: McBecks McBuild in Harrisdale, WA - Pre Start Colours!!! 41Oct 31, 2009 12:44 am As much as the concrete is pretty... it's still concrete right? So I'd be wanting the floorboards coz I wouldn't want to be standing around on concrete... Can all that bank/land stuff be sorted out now please! If there is ANYTHING I could possibly help with in regards to the bank stuff, just ask Built with New Generation (Summit Homes) We own land!... with a slab on it! Plus a shell of a house with stuff inside !

I'll definitely post pics once they are in. Re: McBecks McBuild in Harrisdale, WA - Pre Start Colours!!! 43Nov 24, 2009 2:04 pm I've been very neglectful of my thread recently... but that's mainly because there is no new or exciting news to tell really. Would you believe the bank has STILL not given us the forms to sign. We gt unconditional but then cos there had to be a change in wording in the building contract before the bank would aprove we've had to re-submit part of the application so everything has just blown out again! Settlement was supposed to be today (again) but has ever so generously been extended by Stockland again so I think we have another week and a half or so to get the final paperwork signed and back to the bank. If only they'd send it soon! Am so over it right now. Construction-wise we have signed off all our final building contracts so are pretty much ready to go as soon as the bank gives us the mortgage and our land settles! Not sure how our application is at the council, have not even bothered asking as don't want to risk jinxing the process there! We were really hoping this would have al been sorted weeks ago and we could have had a slab down before Christmas... but sadly this is clearly not going to happen so fingers crossed we can still get in for January!

Re: McBecks McBuild in Harrisdale, WA - Pre Start Colours!!! 44Nov 24, 2009 3:57 pm Hi Bec welcome back to your thread I can't believe how painfully annoying the bank is being in this situation. I don't know of any other cases like this at my work, it's so stupid. But any way it seems like it might be getting sorted as we speak. As for your building licence... it doesn't look like it's back yet, but it's only been 3 and a bit weeks There WILL be progress this year!

Re: McBecks McBuild in Harrisdale, WA - Pre Start Colours!!! 45Dec 10, 2009 4:15 pm Dear thread, I'm such a bad thread-mother... my poor, poor thread... you must feel so neglected and unloved! I do love you thread, I do! So here's a (not-so-exciting update) No change. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Oh and it turns out that CBA have recently sacked all their staff and replaced them with button monkeys. Great! (Where's that sarcasm font when you need it?) Settlement on the land is now due on 18 December. I pray and pray and pray that we can get the paperwork finally correct and finished in time for this. I guess the good news is that our file is now in scheduling (thanks Candylea!) which is awesome, except for the fact that they can't actually schedule us until we have the land settled and titles in our name. Back to waiting... Until next time, dear thread. McBecks "Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right."

Re: McBecks McBuild in Harrisdale, WA - Mortgage Docs finally! 53Dec 21, 2009 1:29 pm ^^^ You're making my poor thread blush! ^^^ So the 18th December (settlement day) came and went... again. However the good news is that we DID get to pick up the mortgage docs from the Bank on Friday and have signed and sent them back today. Finally!!! Unfortunately it's more bad timing for us though as we are only a few days away from Christmas so even if they get to look at our docs this week I doubt anything will happen settlement-wise. Not even sure if they will progress it further next week either. Our broker says that the banks will still be working between Xmas and New Years and that he think we may have settlement of the land sometime then, but I'm not so sure about that?? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some New Year good news! And then we can get to the fun stuff... scheduling a slab! I'm sending lots of "good and fast paperwork" vibes to the bank now...

We had problems with our bank too ..... took ages for them to sign the forms, they wanted this, then they wanted that instead of asking for everything all at once.
