Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 17, 2014 10:01 pm We are finally getting close to signing up to building our new home in Bedfordale. In the last '6 months we've come from an idea to move, to buying the land, in Churchman Brook Estate and selling our house in Atwell. We've decided on timber frame as we really like the warmth and quality feel of the product. In addition the large raked ceilings and glass northern frontage is set to take in the city, perth plains and (distant) ocean views. We also have decided to go with upside down living to make the most of the open balcony areas and views. We have been stuck in a cycle of reviewing and making decisions on a million small things and we aren't quite there yet. But its 95%.

It's off to planning for approval whilst we finalise finances. Aiming for completion end of this year, which would be nice! Re: Double Storey timber framed home in Bedfordale 9Apr 28, 2014 9:46 am We've been in planning for 4 weeks so not too far from approval I hope. Less encouraging is that we are having valuation challenges. We aren't over capitalising as such, the issue is there are no recent sales of two storey homes in bedfordale, nor it's surrounds (except on large acreage) , meaning our sales comparisons are single storey project homes. This comes with a certain level of irony given all our neighbours and neighbours neighbours are two storey or split level homes Re: Double Storey timber framed home in Bedfordale 11May 06, 2014 2:54 pm Woo Hoo for planning approval Money the Bain of our existence <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Double Storey timber framed home in Bedfordale 12May 06, 2014 3:42 pm Great plan! Looking forward to watching it get built Re: Double Storey timber framed home in Bedfordale 15Jul 01, 2014 7:42 pm Doing our own siteworks got to be a painful experience as we'd have to become owner builders. So our builders come to the party to help us out. All moving ahead nicely at last.
