Hi there,
Been reading this forum for the past 2-3 months and today I have finally accepted a developers counter-offer on a parcel of land. I figure it will be a good time to start a post documenting my progress from land negotiation through to moving in so lets get started.
I had initially started looking at homes to buy but for the price figured i could build something new for a similar price. In the Dapto area 3/4 bedroom single story homes are around 380-420k on average.
I started looking at parcels of land in Brooks reach, Brooks terrace and Haywards bay and have finally found a lot in haywards bay that seems to suit my requirements. [once contracts are exchanged and its locked in i'll give more details]
I have been looking at a few builders around the wollongong area (Haywards Bay, Brooks Reach) and from what i have seen i like the Genesis series home from Beechwood homes, obviously its still early days and am looking at other options. Beechwood have provided a tender and the price (plus me adding some budget for extras) falls within my budget.
So with that all over i guess my introduction is done. i look forward to updating this with many posts around progress and hopefully not need many issues addressed
