Are you building in somerset estate in carseldine? Im thinking of buying land there. I hear they are opening up a new release in Somerset Estate soon? I believe there are a few block left in Carseldine Chase left also - but they are bigger & bit more expensive. (No - I am not a real estate/ developer) Just don't cross the highway to Travorten - I hear the soil reports are not good over there & can add $20-30,000 to your build price. We built with Ad$nbrook & are very happy They were fabulous! Not a bad word on them. Re: Sick of the Merry-Go-Round We want to get off now please 35Jul 20, 2009 3:21 pm Yes Louise 4499 i did look at somerset estate and carsel royale in carseldine but they both are expensive. Not fully sure if land in brisbane is really worth what they are quoting for the blocks there.

Re: Sick of the Merry-Go-Round We want to get off now please 38Jul 20, 2009 7:17 pm sorry to hear you've decided to pull the pin on the build.. We had similar issues with 2 volume builders, and have since changed to a small builder who has been Excellent.. It is so much easier to negotiate and get what you actually want with a smaller builder, and they are alot more freindly and helpful about the process too.. I'm in Vic so cant help you find one up there.. good luck whichever way you go. -------------------------------------------------------- Building in Highlands Craigieburn Status: Building the Laundryless 25.5: Slab Complete Re: Sick of the Merry-Go-Round We want to get off now please 40Jul 20, 2009 8:07 pm CarlousMoochous sorry to hear you've decided to pull the pin on the build..

Will buy established once the land is sold. cheers Peter 9 25037 I would be wary. Is you site demilished but nothing else done? Sounds like liquidity problems to me. Our builder did the same. Got hundreds of thousands of dollars of… 2 15586 Sounds like rubbish to me. Ask for the contamination report which I doubt they have. If it's part of a normal subdivision it would have had a contamination report done… 9 5729 |
