Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 22, 2008 4:03 pm Well, finally we (my wife and I) have settlement on our land, so as of yesterday we are officially land owners! Hooray!
We are in Carlisle Park Estate, Cranbourne, in Melbourne - Lot 1702 in the picture below (upper left) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So now the fun part begins of paying off a mortgage We are about to go to Canada for 12 months starting in August, so we won't be building until we get back (sorry for all of you 'sticky beaks' whoe like to see what's going on with others ) but at least we're in the market now! Can you tell I'm excited!?!? After 2 false starts, a year living overseas, two more world trips and 3 years of uncertainty we are now starting the build process again - hopefully for real this time! Re: Our land has settled! Yay! 3Feb 22, 2008 4:13 pm Hey Muzzman, congratulations to you both!!!!
Hey you've got a lovely sized block there!!! Nice frontage!!!!!!!!!! (27.79m) Have you selected a builder yet or is it all being left until you return from Canada??? Re: Our land has settled! Yay! 4Feb 22, 2008 4:36 pm Thanks guys!
Phoenix - because of the weird shape of the block, and our list of wants (living areas to the north, 4 bedrooms, double basin and shower in ensuite, single story etc. etc) , there aren't that many project builders out there that have a plan that is suitable - so we are waiting to see if they might introduce some by the time we get back (and any that we choose now might be discontinued anyway). I have looked at what feels like every builder in Australia that has a web site though (just cause i'm excited), and while there are a couple of plans we like, we may end up going with custom - it all depends on how our finances shape up when we get back After 2 false starts, a year living overseas, two more world trips and 3 years of uncertainty we are now starting the build process again - hopefully for real this time!

This has been very helpful. We definitely wish to settle and get these people out of our life. They are trying to charge us interest on late… 7 14242 |
