We felt rushed with the original block that we had, now we've swapped, we can take a bit more time to fine-tune. Good luck Building with Simonds in S.A Re: Building in Cranbourne East-Mayfield (Simonds Homes-Huds 26Jun 13, 2016 10:11 pm Thankfully most of our process is taken care of by someone else Worst case scenario we just push the build back a little but would really love to start ASAP! How long did you have with your original block? Re: Building in Cranbourne East-Mayfield (Simonds Homes-Huds 27Jun 13, 2016 10:32 pm Umm I think we had to settle by 31st July if I remember rightly but tbh, we really weren't going to be ready. We had to change our mortgage app to land only just to rush it through quicker, it wasn't ideal. There's no way we would have got through council in time. We've been messed around a fair bit so I'm a little bit over this admin stage now lol Building with Simonds in S.A Re: Building in Cranbourne East-Mayfield (Simonds Homes-Huds 28Jun 13, 2016 10:35 pm Oh that's no good that you've had the run around We have had to do two seperate loans. I'm not sure about south Australia but in Victoria the big banks won't give you a loan for the build section until you have the contract in hand so we have had to do two & with the land just estimate our borrowing powers Re: Building in Cranbourne East-Mayfield (Simonds Homes-Huds 29Jun 14, 2016 8:26 am Following along, too Re: Building in Cranbourne East-Mayfield (Simonds Homes-Huds 31Jun 14, 2016 8:30 am Hi matalee, are you building too?
