Hi,
My wife an I are looking at house and land packages in Mount Cotton Silkwood Estate and since we have never done this before I wanted to ask for some advice. We are looking at Simonds Homes and the plan we have initially selected is the Como. We are going to try and purchase a number of extras up front to try and make sure most areas are covered and out budget does not blow out.
Our contact and Simonds is going to try and find us a flat block with the hope that we may be able to put in a pool at a later date. I wanted to know if anyone here has used Simonds Homes before and what their experiences was? I am also wondering what things I should keep an eye out for that I may not have budgeted for or expected? So far we have taken care of floor coverings and driveway in the extras and we have budgets around $3000 for blinds/curtains and around $10,000 for landscape (front and back). I also need to budget in fencing, does anyone have a rough figure for approx 700m2 block? Are there any questions I should be asking in particular from Simonds Homes before we sign a contract?
thank you in advance for any advice
