We are even looking into Clarendon and trying to get a sense of how quickly plans can be prepared and if it's worth a higher build cost as opposed to paying our mortgage and rent for longer. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1486Jun 17, 2015 5:19 pm Ok so this morning my wife called the council to see what the holdup was with getting a section 307 to the cerifier? They said oh no problem at all its just stiing here we can send it to him now. Here I am at the end of the day with still nothing. Also on another note allworths accounts called to tell us that our bank over payed the 3rd payment by 1k so now the final total payment has to be resubmitted to the bank. Whats next?? The real issue is I have 180m2 of flooring to lay before we move in and handover for our old place is on the 26th. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1487Jun 18, 2015 3:50 pm I got our keys. I called allworth thismorning to see if our payment went throught and it had. Our appliances should hopefully be installed tomorrow ready for us to move this weekend. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1488Jun 18, 2015 5:27 pm Tin28a I got our keys. I called allworth thismorning to see if our payment went throught and it had. Our appliances should hopefully be installed tomorrow ready for us to move this weekend. Heeeyyyyy. Congrats Tina. I can understand how happy you are. I was feeling the pain as I am waiting for Allworth to start the construction. Good luck. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1491Jun 18, 2015 9:41 pm Way to go Tina!!!!!!! So we recieved our Ocupational cirtificate last night at 930pm. Called the bank and they said they now have all the documents needed to make final payment. This will take 48hrs, they said and there is no way the process can be speeded up, thanks for your help Now also my wife has relised that they have actually layed the tiled kitchen plashback the wrong way. After much heated discussion they are coming to rip them off and re tile it. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1492Jun 18, 2015 11:01 pm Can someone explain the approvals process please. We were told the hold up with approvals are to do with sydney water basix etc but when I spoke with sydney water they said it is given on the spot through Reece (here) it's just a matter of walking in and showing the plan. Basix said that it is instant printout when entered online so I was wondering aside from council what other approvals are needed that might take 3 months. (3 months was given as a typical time even though i have spoken with a handful of people in the same estate that have said it only took them a few weeks) Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1493Jun 19, 2015 2:03 am Who told you months if I have learnt one thing in all of this call council all the time stay on there back and keep checking how it's going it was all internal approval for us and we also ha bush fire on ours to and took us 4 weeks in council then after construction certificate which they all worth will tell you it takes 2 weeks but stay on them to because they get it in 2 days hope this helped Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1494Jun 19, 2015 6:49 am Thanks guys. Its nice to finally have them. Still so much to do. Its like a mud pit to get to the house so hopefully the rain stays away. Zook the bank payed mine wednedsay morning and it was in the builders account thursday morning. They told me it usually takes 3 days so check with allworth the next day and see if its in. Hopefully your tiles are fixed quickly. Melb dont get to excited thinking it will be done quickly. Yes it can be done sooner then the standard 3 months. But alot of the time not much earlier. In my cause it was ALOT longer. My house took nearly 6 months to approve and my septic system took 7 or 8 i think. Your council may have an application tracking part on their website so try look for that. And like sanne said leep checking up with them to see how its going. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1497Jun 19, 2015 9:37 am Oh bad. Did they wrote the pattern in your plans or selection sheets? If that is the case, why you had to argue with them. Shouldn't they just fix it up? Did they ask you to keep what has been done or gave you any compensation for that ? Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1498Jun 19, 2015 9:45 am Congratulations Tina. I signed the contract few days ago. The bank start processing yesterday. How long to get Authority to Commence Construction from the bank? Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1499Jun 19, 2015 9:50 am Tile direct never asked my wife what way she wanted it tiled and the tiler never asked the builder either. Im guessing they never asked because its on display at tiles direct like in the pic I posted off google. When you Google that type of tyle you cant find one that is the way they did it. Its more of style of tyle its only suposed to layed one way. Arabesque is the style. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1500Jun 19, 2015 10:48 am BlessingStar Congratulations Tina. I signed the contract few days ago. The bank start processing yesterday. How long to get Authority to Commence Construction from the bank? I want to know that as well. Well my bank took bloody 4 weeks after I handed the contract to them. 2 weeks were taken to give us the construction loan docs to sign. I understand few days were added to do the valuation again for my land as the contract was over 12 months and then when I sent the docs back the same day, it took them 2 weeks again to finally do the settlement and generate Letter of commencement. I also want to know how much time it took for other users and banks. I was not happy with the slowness of my bank. Would advise not to do deal with lenders who are not present locally and you deal all with your broker. Ask for references and speak to them.
