We authorised payment for our frame stage on the 1st of December... On the 12th I get an email from PD asking when they can expect payment so I call the bank to find out what's going on. ANZ have decided that they will only pay up to a certain point ad then we need to use the FHOG to cover the rest. I said that's fine can you please just make the payment. The guy on the phone says "No, you need to send a payment request for the exact amount we will pay and then you need to pay the rest" I explained that I didn't have the FHOG and he said that it was bank policy to just give us the money and we can do what we want with it... So rather then contact me by email/phone/mail the bank just waited for me to call to find out what was wrong.. Thankfully PD gets this all the time and the Accounts Woman is absolutely lovely (she puts smily faces in her emails!!) so it's not going to hold up my build but still. Stupid bloody ANZ and their dumdum staff are making me cross >:( Oh and I also need to call the staff revenue office and find out when exactly they are going to give us our FHOG.. *sigh* I thought all the paper work was over Building the Drysdale 30 Wallara Waters, Wallan My Blog : http://www.ourwallanhome.blogspot.com My thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=50975 Re: Drysdale 30 by Porter Davis - Frames!! 89Dec 16, 2011 7:04 am Looks amazing Cat...I think I have said it before, but every time I look at your pics I love that cute hill out the front of your house. Re: Drysdale 30 by Porter Davis - Frames!! 90Dec 16, 2011 7:18 am We had to make our portion of the payment at Base stage before ANZ would release anything. We used our own money, and sure enough, a week later the FHOG appeared in the bank I hear you though.. ANZ *shakes fist* Looking good so far.. are your trades going to continue over christmas?? PD Gordon 19 Re: Drysdale 30 by Porter Davis - Frames!! 91Dec 16, 2011 8:37 am We went with Westpac and paid the full amount and then the $20k appeared in our mortgage. I thought the FHOG was going to pay all the extra fees and stamp duty but i guess they were just added to the loan?

It's amazing how it goes from skeletal to "real" house once it's roof is there....going so fast Drysdale 30 by Porter Davis - Frames!! 93Dec 19, 2011 6:47 am Thanks guys @Rups, the park and hill were one of the main reasons we picked the block. It's going to be so lovely to look at on our way to work every morning @SammyJane, @TrudyX, Who knows how the bank works it out? I do understand why they like to get your portion of the money early, I'm sure people come to the end of their build and run out of cash.. But it would of be fantastic if they could of let us know that this was going to happen so we did have a 12 day delay on the payment.. Oh well.. Sill banks. @JLD I know! All of a sudden I can get a real feel for the space.
