Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 261May 24, 2015 8:49 pm It's definitely not what we wanted but it's still doable thankfully! We went up again today... Can't wait to go up and actually see progress on the block! Hopefully it's a great week for us all!!! I'll keep you posted Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 262May 25, 2015 6:03 pm Good news (for us) - we got our valuation back and it's right where we need it (possibly even a little higher). We should have bank approval the end of next week Now hoping the council happens ASAP Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 263May 25, 2015 6:37 pm Congratulations that's wonderful news! Fingers crossed the council is quick for you Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 264May 25, 2015 6:38 pm That's great Jakki! One more step closer Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 266May 25, 2015 6:53 pm Oh no it's sounding pretty scary with the valuations, hope ours goes through ok. We found out 2 weeks ago we have to do split level so now the plans have gone back to get redrawn. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 267May 25, 2015 6:57 pm Congratulations that's wonderful news! Fingers crossed the council is quick for you Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 268May 25, 2015 7:28 pm Thanks everyone! I hope you all get yours where you need them too! Wanted to share to give you some hope. Oh prutherford that's a pain- although I do love split level houses! Which lot are you again? Was it 65? We are banking with anz but it was an independent valuer through our broker (nectar mortgages- I can vouch for him- he's been a friend for almost 20 years ) Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 269May 25, 2015 7:39 pm Yeah we are lot 65. The split is costing us an extra $15k, but thankfully we haven't done any selection yet. Glad everything is coming through for you JakkiT. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 270May 25, 2015 10:02 pm ouch! 15k wow! The blocks down that end do have a big slope don't they. Ours is 3m but we were originally told that by settlement it was only going to be 1-1.5m :/ Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 271May 28, 2015 3:45 pm Has anyone had any luck yet? We haven't heard from the council yet, we should have the loan approval through by the end of next week Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 272May 28, 2015 3:54 pm We are still waiting on footings report so we have a long way to go yet Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 273May 29, 2015 4:26 pm Bugger prutherford! We got our letter from the council today to say we are number 18 (lot 57 aurora) Our builder said it will be only 2-3 weeks before they will be ready to start building!!

Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 275May 29, 2015 5:36 pm How exciting that your build starts within a month. Can't wait for it to happen to us just got to be patient and wait for everything to fall in place. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 276May 29, 2015 6:34 pm We got our letter today too saying we will be no. 16 Aurora No word as to when the build might start though! Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 277May 29, 2015 7:08 pm We had our letter today, too! Number 12 Aurora Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 278Jun 01, 2015 5:24 pm Can I ask a loan related question (if anyone wants to answer!) We are asking for 20k on top of the land/build price for extras... Is anyone else doing this and what is your procedure? Our mortgage broker keeps shooting down want we want as he doesn't think the external valuer will approve them (such as solar panels, curtains/blinds, retaining). Wondering if we would be better off just getting a separate loan as this seems really hard and I don't want the whole process to delay out final loan approval as this will mean a delay in our build start!

We had the same advice from our broker. If its not in the block or build contract, very very hard to get valuation for it. We're paying for all ours out of pocket Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 280Jun 01, 2015 6:10 pm Hmmm our broker wanted us to have quote to cover the following and that was all included in our valuation blinds solar panels solar hotwater system (evac tubes) fencing paving & driveway tanks stormwater woodheater ceiling fans I think that's all... our valuation came back at 400, saying there was no quotes put in. Our broker rang the valuer and said he had sent them so recheck....15 mins later it came back at 450. So we aren't borrowing for retaining walls or landscaping but we are for pretty much everything else. We should have the approval from the bank by the end of this week. So I assume to bank ok it all if the valuer has valued it ok?! I'm still confused by it all. I hope the bank lend us the full amount, but if not then I guess we will deal with it.
