We we went for our building quote today and I am sure that my jaw still hasn't come all the way off the ground yet.
The site fees alone totaled over 100k and considering the land is not much more than that we were at a total loss. The building was placed over an area that had about 3m fall on it, but apparently a long way down to solid ground.
We are lucky in a sense that there is now no way we can get finance for that amount extra so we will get back all but a couple hundred for the Realtors trouble.
So its back to the drawing board for the mrs and I, and back hunting for land.
Still can't believe it, if anyone wants the land details (outlook terrace, Pakenham) to avoid it like the plague PM me.
