Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Mar 13, 2011 9:48 pm Hey Everyone I just wanted to share the good news that my husband and I have bought a new house! We're so excited as its our first home! We move in on the 19th May assuming that finance etc all goes well. Anyhow the reason I make this annoucement in the renovations section of the forum is I hope to move my dedication to this section after the past two months of my time spent in the finance section. A change I'm relieved and excited about! So my husband and I have come very exciting plans for improving our new home. We first need to paint the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms as they were kids rooms for the previous owners however will be guest rooms for us... for now. Therefore the pinks and yellows with stickers must go and wecome neutral colours!!! I'll not go on with the list now however once we're in I envision I'll be utilising the forum extensively. Can't wait! JanetB Re: I've bought a house! 2Mar 13, 2011 10:07 pm Congratulations on your Purchase!! My Husband and I are in the same position. We have just been approved for a home loan after a very long battle with financial institutions. We have a lot of renovating to do but we are up for the task... Anyway hope all goes well for you both and Im sure I will be seeing you in here from time to time... Let the next stage of the journey begin!

Unfortunately the bank is abit slow so we don't have confirmation on the finance yet and now the mortgage broker is asking for an extension for another 3 days. I'd already asked for 14 days as they were sure that could get it done in that time. So abit more of a wait but I'm sure its worth it... Re: I've bought a house! 5Mar 24, 2011 9:17 pm Congratulations JanetB. My partner and I have just bought our first home too! It is so exciting!!! We have just finished signing all our mortgage documents today and will be sending them off tomorrow and settlement is on the 21st April (the next 3 and a half weeks couldn't go any slower ) We have a little big of renovating to do as well, paint all the way through, putting up a shed, fixing the patio, finishing the chimney on the antique pot belly stove (so nice) and the floors! Hopefully your finance gets through quick, we had 21 days for finance, building and pest in case there were any delays, thankfully everything went nice and smoothly!
