I figured I should get around to making a thread from the start - if I am doing this wrong please let me know!
We are building the Iris 4 - http://www.vic.henley.com.au/pdf/break_ ... iris_4.pdf out in Mernda Villages. Not changing anything from the floor plan, just adding a few electrical things here and there.
We've paid the deposit for the land and the holding deposit for the house, the land is due to settle in Septmber (although when I spoke with Henley her information said October!) but we will not be able to get the finance actually approved until October 27, anyway. It's been pre-approved, but they have their silly genuine savings thing
Our colour appointment is Aug 21 and then we sign the contract late September, we have been to a colour info session and there is so much that we have to pick It's a bit harder because the series is compeletely new and we don't even have a price list yet to find out how much upgrades are! So far we are thinking that we will change the mortar colour to off white rather than standard as we're choosing lighter bricks, but not sure of anything else. I am a little wary of getting the final price!!
