Hello!
I have been reading through these forums constantly... my eyes hurt, I'm sleeping less and work productivity is down!
My partner has had a block of land in Caladenia Grove, Canning Vale for over a year now. We were undecided what to do with it as I was quite stubborn in never wanting to move from my better located (old) family home which we purchased off my parents.
We went to the land auction last year and up went his hand... that was an extremely stressful time as it was a bit spontaneous and he went into auction without pre approval :O. Luckily after a few extensions... thank you City of Canning... all was approved and it has just been sitting there.
As we purchased our current home with my brother - we have finally reached a point of needing to live ALONE for the first time and the best thing for us to do was build on the block, move in and then sell our home. Since we decided that I am so excited about the idea of a brand spanking new house and am wondering why we didn't do this earlier .
The block we have is funny shaped - We decided on the Florence by HGWA as it had the games room & alfresco where we needed it - with a few changes to make it fit. We really rushed into it out of excitement and now looking at our plan we are finding things we should have/want to change . Its driving me crazy haha.
We became Category 1 a few weeks ago and I guess now we just wait... As we realised we wanted a few changes our Sales Rep is trying to get us an amendment to the Cat 1 so we can alter some stuff (just add internal walls to close off study & theatre a little)... but have not heard anything yet so not positive it can happen. WHY DID WE NOT CHECK THROUGH THIS PROPERLY haha.
Anyway that is my rant We really have no clue what we are doing I will try to figure out how to post a pic of our plan so far!
