I have a few questions. (I'm a newbie, so much to learn). Were there any charges u think were 'compulsory' a 'must have' Did u upgrade much of your electrical? I'm unsure of what junction points are. Did you get your different lighting done with them? If so what did you get and how much? Glass splash back? What colour joinery did u get? Was it standard or upgraded? Cost? Upgraded taps? Gold basins? I'm just hoping to get a rough idea on price at this stage. I have added a lot of things such as joinery in laundry, extra pot draws in kitchen. But I just don't want any surprises. Hoping that my extra $12k should b enough otherwise I have to look at my preapproval again. I hope you don't mind the essay. Thanks in advance. no we didnt upgrade much electrical, our consultant put in our quote to upgrade all powerpoints to doubles and 3 tv points. zub13 upgraded a fair bit of electrical she might be able to explain amps and junctions better. no we didnt get a glass splahsback. no we didnt get lighting upgraded, will do later on. we got polar white natural finish cupboards and our benchtops are white valencia(diamond gloss) to the kitchen and ebony marble(diamond gloss) to the bathrooms. we did not upgrade our basins but upgraded our kitchen sink to the linea 1180 for an extra $150 and the kitchen tap to a flickmixer for an extra $95. yes we upgraded our bathroom tapware to elegance but kept the standard ones in the laundry. as for compulsory/must haves it depends if you mean something that we desired or something set out by the estate. for example my must haves were upgrading kitchen appliances but the estate has stipulated we had to have 2700mm high ceilings. our total upgrades were $5500 i think your 12k should be fine unless you do major upgrades on electrical. also keep in mind nbn will cost you $1030 if you choose to have it. Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not? Thanks ❤️ 0 8933 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 27200 |
