Re: First home with Statesman Homes in Andrews Farm SA 167Aug 19, 2013 5:10 am so it seems everyone's is the same price even though it is a vacant block. I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that the bank approves us thIs week doo we can be released to construction on Friday Re: First home with Statesman Homes in Andrews Farm SA 168Aug 19, 2013 11:36 am ohhh I got an email from my bank today.... think . they were saying that my loan is approved subject to validation and valuation... yay!!! so excited!! hopefully that's what they mean. Re: First home with Statesman Homes in Andrews Farm SA 169Aug 19, 2013 5:30 pm Hope so too, Megs25. I'm sure it means what you think it does. Re: First home with Statesman Homes in Andrews Farm SA 171Aug 28, 2013 7:56 pm hit a bit of snag today. my mortgage broker called to explain that the valuators have undervalued the price of our house so I now have to come up with somewhere between $2000 - $20000 dollars for the difference. but my mortgage broker is arguing with the bank about it too try and get it changed. hopefully it gets changed and things can then get approved Re: First home with Statesman Homes in Andrews Farm SA 172Aug 28, 2013 8:17 pm That's no good Megs25 hope it gets sorted soon and you manage to avoid extra costs. Fingers crossed.

Re: First home with Statesman Homes in Andrews Farm SA 175Aug 29, 2013 7:51 am Fingers crossed the broker sorts things out for you Megs. Re: First home with Statesman Homes in Andrews Farm SA 177Aug 29, 2013 8:23 am Fingers crossed for you Scott's valuation came in at the right amount so they were really lucky.

I really hope it comes back at no cost haha but sounds like that's going to be near impossible. the big diff between 2 to 20 grand. Was we can minimalise it to the lower amount if we change how much we borrow from the bank, ie. from 85% too 90% Re: First home with Statesman Homes in Andrews Farm SA 180Aug 29, 2013 10:12 am Hope it all works out for you Megs, not the kind of news you want to get.
