Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA?

Hi there,

Do you have any completion photos you can send please? I've signed my PMC and would love to see what it looks like.

Hi

I have no completion pics as im waiting for 2 weeks for them to fix the plaster defect.So over it already.

Got soil report, property survey report all completed. Now the plans will be submitted to the developer for approval. its getting exciting. One question to those who have started their builds, does HBC stick to the measurements they tell you when you sign up. When I signed up the floor plan had minor bedroom as 3x2.7 which is already very small but doable, but on close look the actual plans i got at the prestart appt have the bedrooms as 3x2.64. Now i know its only minus 6cm but for rooms that were already small im afraid this will make it even smaller. I have asked my prestart consultant and waiting for her response, i was wondering if any of you have had similiar issues.

Hello! Just wondering if anyone has built the Indigo 22. Does anyone have any photos?!
We just bought our land and are waiting on it to title so we won't be building to next year at least, but were just to excited and want to see what it will look like!

Thank you!

Thanks for the photos Kossie!

Did you go with the traditional facade?

Correct.

Oh my gosh, I have been reading and reading and reading this forum and I'm sooo glad it's still going!!! I'm a complete newbie but I'm excited to say I'll be building with HBC for my first home!! And because I'm building down Geelong way, it's considered regional Victoria so the first home buyers grant has been upped to $20K!! Anyway, I'm still putting away my deposit, but I can't wait to share more with everyone and keep getting advice and ideas!!!

I was delighted to with the Andrews Government annoucement that first home buyers grant would increase to $20,000. We will be building in Ballarat. Haven't chosen land or builder yet. Will hold off until July now.

Definitely great news!!! i'll have some extra money for extras that i want!!!

Hi everyone,

I was told today that I have been removed from the bush-fire prone area. I now have the option of taking out the provisions and have that money credited back to me or to keep them in. So my question is should I leave it or get it credited back???. To be honest I have no idea what the money would go to if I did leave it as is. I have asked though.

BTW when does the 20,000 grant start. I have a feeling I may be missing out ....

1 July 2017

Isn't it for builds more than 750k??

Its for builds under 750k, however you have to sign the contract after 1st July 2017.

Personally I would remove the bushfire allowance if you can. I know ours is about 7k with boutique. Maybe put it towards blinds? Driveaway?

I think if tou decide not to credit the money they will keep the Bushfire inclusions e.g. instead of nylon mesh screen they will put aluminum screens and so on.Have a look at your bushfire provision details in your contract.I think they are ridiculously expensive with their aluminium screens.It would be far cheaper to ask for credit and D.I.Y. I ask for credit and gonna use it to do landscaping and fencing.

$20,000 grant will apply to contracts signed after July 2017.
