We had a package so the driveway was always included.. With most things there are increases in prices, but we've weighed up each one and decided the difference in price was worth just having it done. And the more they do, the more falls in that insurance period. We've had a lenient budget so have been able to just go with the increased prices. And through it was easier with the bank if they all came under the 'house price'.. But it def needs to be added in before final valuation. This can also depend on the bank. As to how they value the house. We've gone with anz for this reason alone.... __________________________________________ House/Land Package Purchased:02.02.15 5% House Deposit Paid:17.03.15 10% Land Deposit Paid:18.08.15 Land Registered: 04.17 Slab Poured: 15.08.17 PCI: 17.05.18 Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11409Jun 15, 2016 12:46 pm Hey Gibson, did your plans look like this? We are only just out of council, so we are waiting on final Construction plans where I will obviously double check this ... but the missing portico slab on our architectural plans has concerned me, front pillars look like eerie floating columns!

Just forward what the bank requested to M. It happened to us too and M adjusted the payment schedules. Not exactly as what the bank requested but it's been approved by the bank anyway.

The roof looks a lot darker then what we thought it would. Hubby likes it, I'm on the fence. I think it will look okay with the surfmist garage door and surfmist from parapet.

As long as the LVR and serviceability are still good, it shouldn't be a problem. We needed to submit a budget showing what the additional funds were for and they wanted quotes for as much as we could get.
