Browse Forums Buying Land Re: Heartlands Estate, Tarneit VIC 272Oct 12, 2011 8:40 pm baronx betHeEeee Hey lacas, we still in limbo for now. After i sent my broker a lengthy venting email, he came back with some semi good news. We should be expecting vals from Suncorp in the next day or two. If it comes in way under again, i think we might consider selling it for now - its too much stress and living with the inlaws is getting too much. Am hopeful that it will be ok though so we can move on and start the build! We drove past yesterday and our estate is looking awesome with all the houses going up! You're place is looking great! They've moved so quickly!! Any chance you guys will be in my christmas? Would be awesome if they can be done by then xx Hey betHeEeee.. Why don't you guys check with some other bank and ask them to valuate your property? Our valuation came in low with CBA as well (we went with them anyways) but we asked ANZ to do the valuation and they matched the value. Sheeny [Hey Sheeny, did your val's come in for the land only or for house and land? When we settled on the land, it went through fine no probs.. but once we finalized the build contract, they valued it at $380,000 when it is costing us $426,000 to build. Wayyy under! I think if it were the stresses of just the house we'd be ok, but there's so much else happening all at once. But you are def right about thinking of all the good things to look forward to. Surely this time next year, none of this will matter and be long forgotten! That's crap about the conveyancing part, is all back on track now? Hope they get their sh1zen together and deliver in time! xx Wow.. I am scared of that type of valuation! I have been looking at what is for sale in the area and you are right, some you can buy cheaper that what it costs to build! Little scary.. Back on track now... SETTLED TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited!! Appointments for colours next week and then contract signing the week after.. Feels like I finally have traction.. From time of initial deposit on land to settlement exactly one day less than a year.. Been a long time.. Really grateful to this forum, people who really understand the stresses...[/quote] We had similar , our bank st george came in way under, westpac too. ANZ came to the party. I dont think we will be in by xmas, would love to as I am so tired of renting and they are moving quickly. Hope at least jan but our contract gives them until June to complete. They really want to get it done though so I am hopeful. We will be at lockup this week and then I expect Fix to take the most time. Good luck with everything.

Seems like all the Banks do in Tarneit is value at 380. Its because they dont look at the size of land or house at all and the houses for sale in the area in that price range are the lower basic houses such as devine packages bringing down the value.

Hey lacasa, Have heard great things about ANZ and their vals but unfortunately they don't write 95% LVR loans when refinancing. They're capped at 90%. We got some good news last night though, Suncorp has given us unconditional approval so now waiting on valuations. Hopefully it comes in today and it matches our build or even just a wee bit lower i'd be happy. Don't wanna wait any longer I wanna be building like you guys sheeny Wow..

Too true, Moorookyle is really stuffing up our values, stoopid turds!!!!! It makes me so angry to see how they can have 4b homes going for $329-$350? Anyhoo, congratulations on settling!!! Woohoo! Have you made up your mind on what colours you'll use for the facade? You still haven't shown me the mock ups Re: Heartlands Estate, Tarneit VIC 275Oct 26, 2011 8:03 pm Hi Guys, anyone of you who knows whether heartlands will be using fibre optic or standard copper cabling for phone and internet connections? metricon's electricals contractor is saying they've been in contact with asset1 and they are still unable to advise which services we will be receiving. they are proposing we get a provision package costing us an additional $1.5K to avoid more additional costs later and to get the construction moving??? thanks guys!
