D: I'll check now. *thinking ommmgg its readdy* D: picking up cheque tomorrow B: ok. No probs. Few more items to finish first and ill get back to you. D: Ok. Let me know when you want to do handover. B:ok Got my hopes up for nothing...:p I find it funny they are chasing me for money when theyre not ready!!! Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1823Jul 25, 2017 4:50 pm Not cool!!! I would text him and ask if they have a date in mind Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1825Jul 25, 2017 6:45 pm Haha!! I know... I was like 'aww'. but at least he contacted me!! I didn't have to chase him. I'm not too fussed because whether they know it or not we are doing handover next Friday. XDD I will call him Thursday to confirm that, but that's what I've planned for. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1826Jul 25, 2017 6:49 pm Winning!!! When I rang the bank to find out about final payment they told me there was 'additional funds' available and did I want them put into my account? UM YEAH!!! Did not know this was a thing. Have asked the broker to help me figure out why I have extra monies left over (did I not pay someone??) This is perfect as I was planning to redraw against my loan to help pay for landscaping, but now I won't have to D So no extra repayments needed.

We got nearly $1000 back from siteworks allowances that weren't used. Although they deducted this off our final invoice.

Best news ever!!! Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1830Jul 25, 2017 7:15 pm Haha.. I think it must be something to do with the land, because I've checked every invoice for the build and they total the contracted amount, and all the additional variations I paid cash for, so I know they were covered! I didn't have any provisional sums in my build contract, so I don't think that is it. Between this little bit of extra and hopefully the refund on the stamp duty I can hopefully finish off the landscaping sooner rather than later. Its not heaps, like 2k I think..but every little bit helps!! Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1831Jul 25, 2017 7:18 pm aloenyx Haha..

We had leftover too turned up we got 3 credits from Perry for unused things like less dirt removal from site scrape and retaining wall costing less to do etc. $2000 is awesome! That will help a lot!!! Have you started packing? Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1832Jul 25, 2017 7:27 pm Omg, maths is not my strong point!! So total build was $180,300. I checked each invoice was for the correct percentage, they were, then took them all off the total.. and had $9,015 left over.. I was like 'OMG I OWE MONEY'...forgot about the deposit! So, definitely paid the full build contract amount to the builder, so must be related to my land.. oh well. No, I haven't started packing yet. I really don't have that much, I've been shipping things off to the storage unit for months, so only really have the things I'm using with me. I'm not taking much from my parents, not taking any of my bedding, furniture, artwork.. so really only clothes to pack, a few electronics, and a couple of knick knacks.. and the pets XD Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1833Jul 25, 2017 8:03 pm Yay for extra money! - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1834Jul 25, 2017 8:06 pm Holy sh*t I just a notification Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1835Jul 25, 2017 8:11 pm charlibear Holy sh*t I just a notification I just said the same thing!!

I don't use notifications, so I haven't noticed. So I'm officially CONFUSED. I can't work out where the extra funds come from.. maybe LMI? I also can't work out how my FHOG was applied, but I can see a 10k credit so assume it was applied. Maths is too hard!! Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Countdown! 1840Jul 25, 2017 8:50 pm If I add total cost of land, total cost of build, plus extra fees at settlement.. then minus deposits... and I come up with $800 more than my total loan amount.... But then if I apply the FHOG I'm way under... it looks like that wasn't applied... must be additional fees somewhere.. I can't find LMI and stamp duty, thinking the FHOG went towards those.. Why have I never looked into this before I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15265 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this?
