Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 141Mar 26, 2015 8:35 am Thanks guys! looking forward to it as well... when were stages 1 - 2 initially supposed to be titled? Fingers crossed there are no more setbacks Built the Bermuda with Porter Davis Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 143Apr 02, 2015 10:09 am PolkaDots Spoke with Michael from Red23 yesterday. Titles for stages 1-2 are now expected August. Apparently construction was supposed to start 2 weeks ago. I've asked him to please get a definite start date from the developer. He said he would and then send and email out to everyone. You signed a contract before settlement? My experience is to wait for settlement first. I waited a year for my settlement and signed a build contract 2 months after that. Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 144Apr 02, 2015 10:28 am Oh really? We also signed well before settlement, waited 1 and half years for the land to be ready. I know a few people who have done this as well Built the Bermuda with Porter Davis Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 145Apr 02, 2015 12:24 pm GreyBluePurple - believe me! I've learnt my lesson. So frustrated that it's taking so long. I even emailed the developer directly and he said Winslow were supposed to start on Monday. Alas, still nothing happening Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 146Apr 02, 2015 1:11 pm It obviously depends if you can afford to wait or not as well as if unforseen pressures come such as building costs increase, etc. I don't why we are told date X and get date Y and then date Z as settlement. I hope you get out of this quickly though and get on with what you inteded to do. The next obvious thing to watch out for is settlement. For me, it was always a case of expecting the unexpected. It was always done at irregular times such as while I attended important events or occurring on Christmas eve or something. I hope this does not happen to anyone else. Maybe I carry a jinx or something. Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 147Apr 29, 2015 10:38 am How is the process going with the stages 1-2? I haven't been past in a while, our whole slab needed to be pulled up and re-done. Built the Bermuda with Porter Davis Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 148May 08, 2015 2:03 pm Hi katemorley91, they finally started a couple of weeks ago. I'm assuming titles will be in October now. When you take into consideration 16 week construction time, plus 2-6 weeks in council for titles. Oh My! Why does your slab have to be pulled up and redone? Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 149May 08, 2015 2:12 pm Fair enough PolkaDots, hope all is smooth sailing. Well.. half way during the pour the concrete truck's pipe broke down. They then waited 4 hours for a new truck to come and pour the rest of it. They went ahead and poured the new concrete over the already set concrete. Which you can imagine resulted in an absolute mess and a disgraceful slab full of cracks, and a high risk of the house shifting. Porter Davis were very good about it and decided to rip the whole thing up and do it all again which I am so happy about because they were initially just going to try and repair it. so now we are waiting for that, I think it should be all poured next week! Built the Bermuda with Porter Davis Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 151May 08, 2015 4:42 pm Yes, very grateful!

I'm currently looking into it but haven't committed myself to anything yet. Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 155Jul 17, 2015 3:53 pm fair enough, the photos/mockups look great on their brochure! Built the Bermuda with Porter Davis Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 156Jul 17, 2015 3:57 pm yeah if it turns out like that I will love it! there being sold at the moment but not due for completion till june 2016. Which doesn't bother me as it just gives us more time to save. Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 158Jul 27, 2015 9:28 am Congrats Polka Dots!! are you planning on building as soon as land is titled?? Built the Bermuda with Porter Davis Re: Greenvale Orchards - anyone building/bought land? 160Jul 27, 2015 10:19 am how exciting which house are you building? Yes all good now it isn't far off being finished, probably a couple of weeks!!! but after that we have all the flooring, electrical driveway work to look forward to haha Built the Bermuda with Porter Davis I don't think you're getting a response because you are not quite clear on what the issue is. yep, the site is not level, no site is! but are you just building a garage?… 1 2254 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 24807 Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum. Place is full of wierdos/pedos thought internet may help but I suppose I'll try my luck with someone in person. Cheers. I tried… 0 6415 |
