Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building at bunya??? 4401Feb 19, 2015 10:11 am I agree with Nik, the catch is that CH was the only company that promised that their prices don't change if construction starts in a years time. That was the second thing they told me. They told 2 other couple while I was there. WH asked for extra $$$ to give that confirmation...
Cheers Re: Anyone building at bunya??? 4402Feb 23, 2015 4:09 pm Hi guys, I am building my first home in Bunya with CH. CH has just finished Piering and expecting the Slab to happen this week. CH confirmed that I can use my own electrician to make any changes in electric design. My contract doesn't include down lights. Has anyone hired electrician from outside to do similar job with CH? Or anyone did similar work with CH itself? How much would that cost? Thanks in advance. Regards, Mahe Re: Anyone building at bunya??? 4403Feb 24, 2015 9:13 am Mahe Hi guys, I am building my first home in Bunya with CH.

Regards, Mahe Hi, I am not building with CH, neither am I putting downlights in my house. However, I think that if you have a single storey house, you can get the downlights installed after the handover. If you have a two storey house, you cannot get the downlights after handover on your ground floor ceiling. Not sure how much would it cost doing it afterwards, but it will be certainly cheaper than doing with the builder. Hope that helps.

Cheers San Re: Anyone building at bunya??? 4405Mar 12, 2015 11:01 am Hi Guys, I believe those who building with CH having issues here and there, some people I know are keen on fortnightly meeting near the park on Wirraga St, for Stage 6. So that we can share the Info with each other and try to gain valuable knowledge on expectation and get to know how the project will be delivered. I will request to join those who already built and move in. Please circulate to other who is not in this blog. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Re: Anyone building at bunya??? 4406Mar 26, 2015 2:39 pm This is so quiet .. seems everybody are getting closer to lock up stage... all the best Re: Anyone building at bunya??? 4407Apr 02, 2015 7:29 am guys, I received an email from my builder stating that the practical completion inspection is scheduled next week. I have been asked to check the requirements from the bank and council for handover. Does anyone have a clue what are the requirements? My understanding is that I can get an interim occupancy certificate for the time being. I can complete my landscaping, solar panels, etc after handover after which I become eligible to get a final occupancy certificate. However, I am also doing my flooring after handover. This raises couple of questions. 1. Can the council issues an interim occupancy certificate before the flooring is done? 2. Can the bank release teh final payment before an interim occupancy certificate is issued? Need a quick advice friends. Re: Anyone building at bunya??? 4409May 20, 2015 7:16 am I think the council can issue the interim occupancy certificate before the flooring is completed and I am certain that you need to have the IOC in order to realease the funds from the bank to the builder.

Although the HAF is marketed as a 'rebate' it actually is indicative of the 'true market value' of the land. You never pay the HAF (if your land is subject to it) as it is 'provided' at settlement. The market value of your land has a lot to do with supply and demand of land in the area, this is the way in which land and houses are 'priced' or valued, however it has a larger emphasis on the 'recent sales' in the area. As NSW is currently experiencing an excess of demand (over supply), consequently the 'value' of land and housing in general is increased. The HAF though should not effect other lots - it is land that has been deemed to be provided at an affordable price, it normally also represents a certain drop in quality. By this premise, lots without the HAF should be deemed 'better quality'. You should also note the 'market value' and the 'true value' are two different concepts. The bank will endeavour to price your land at the 'market value' not the 'true value'. Further, the bank will 'value' in conjunction with your contract. If you are not subject to HAF, it will not take this into consideration. Note that even HAF lots are sold (recent market sales) at full price, therefore the 'sales' data available to banks and valuers will represent a higher 'value'. Note also that the valuer general will look at the 'true value' of the land this is the value at which other land in the area is valued at (much smaller than the market value). Hope that doesn't confuse you all. - Buda is correct in his description of the contracts, and the ability to extend them. (Also correct in the stipulation that not all lots in Bunya are subject to the HAF) Totally agreed with this, very wise information. Intellichoice Finance | Financial Services Wish you all the best.
