Our unconditional approval came through for our loan on Friday for our House and Land in Harrisdale. We are building the Noble which is part of the APG Breakthrough Range. Its been around 6 months since we first enquired so we are really looking forward to filling in the loan docs, and having the finance side of it settled so the fun part can begin- construction on our first home!!!
There were a few items that for us were non negotiable and had us taking our time in choosing who we would go through to build .We had a fairly tight budget but we still wanted a decent sized house and we wanted a backyard for our son. It seemed to us that as we tried to decide what we wanted the block sizes got smaller and more expensive as each month went by .
We stumbled across a house and land package that was being offered by APG in Piara Waters using one of the Breakthrough designs and one of the key points for us was that the design meant there would be space out the back for our son to run amuck. We did a little research and found that APG is part of the Dale Alcock Homes / ABN Group and we thought they would be a pretty safe choice. We contacted the sales rep and after some time we ended up with the Noble and a block in Harrisdale. We are really happy with the location of the block and cant wait to move into our new home there. My hubby is happily planning the media room and I am in charge of the rest of the house- fair enough!
I have to admit I am pretty new to this kind of forum but have had a good read of some of the other posts. I will need to figure out how to upload plans and when its not raining cats, dogs and rhinos Ill take a pic of our block as well.
I am hoping that through posting on here I will get some good feedback from people with a lot more experience than us so thanks in advance!
