Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone Building at One Minto? 2May 07, 2013 1:15 pm Hello Jox, We are building the Wisdom Homes-2 storey - Columbus 26 at the moment at One Minto Estate, We are now on the bricking stage, We started the process mid last year, It was a long process but an enjoyable journey and so far, I have no complaints with Wisdom Homes. One Minto is a better place to build because it is near public transport/freeways and facilities like childcare,schools,shopping centres,work and affordable and not inflated land prices like in other estates. Re: Anyone Building at One Minto? 3May 09, 2013 9:35 pm Hi Guys, We are building with Rawson Homes up in One Minto in the new stage 9B release. We have recently signed our contracts & getting ready for DA approval and council lodgement. I think location wise its a great investment. Our new place will be 2 min walk from the new Minto Marketplace they are building which will be completed end of 2013. It will a 7min to Minto train station. 2 min walk to Anytime fitness, Medical Center, Fruit shop, All the fast food outlets & a 5min drive to M5 motorway & 5-10min from local schools. Re: Anyone Building at One Minto? 5May 10, 2013 9:09 am We are building at stage 5A and there are a couple of housing commisiion houses opposite our street but they were refurbished, The houses in Benham Road side were all painted new, They have also installed the new type fencing on each of them, similar type as the One Minto Estate requirements plus new front landscaping. They will retain 30% of this housing commission houses but we build here because of the location and convenience than moving far away like oran park,gregory hills,spring farm which is not good if you don't have a car because all of the amenities are not conveniently located near the estate. One Minto has also a very good investment property potential if you decide to do that.We are currently living at Macquarie Fields for 13 years and it is widely known about the housing commisiion in the area but we have never experienced bad things and it now becoming a popular place to buy/invest. The train car park is now always full not like 5 years ago and the vacancy rate is very low, All the homes you see for sale can be sold in less than a month so it means location is now the way to go than housing commission. Re: Anyone Building at One Minto? 6May 10, 2013 10:00 am ssjmark We were looking in to buying at Minto but we didn't like the public housing ratio that was going to remain dispersed there.. Yep i was looking at One Minto but the public housing ratio of 1/3 put me off. Devalues house prices which is why is substancially cheaper to build there. Building with Jandson Homes - Eclipse 18. http://adgnetworks.blogspot.com/ Re: Anyone Building at One Minto? 7May 10, 2013 10:38 am Hi Tanya07, How is your experience with Rawson Homes so far? Did you bought their house and land package at stage 9B? There is no more lots available anywhere at One Minto at the moment , I did check with the land sales office and they said that the next release won't happen till October 2013 the earliest. Are you building a single or double story Rawson home? Their display home was fantastic same as Wisdom Homes, I also noticed that there is a Lucas homes display being built at the moment beside Rawson Homes. You bought in a perfect area because everything is within reach, you don't even need a car. Are the lots more expensive at stage 9 than the earlier stages? Re: Anyone Building at One Minto? 10Jun 01, 2013 10:18 am Hi! We are building at One Minto with Rawson Homes. We're building a single story 4 bedroom house. So far everything is going smoothly and they're up to the internal fixtures, etc. I was wondering if anyone building at One Minto has a recommendation for a fencing contractor? Thanks!!! Re: Anyone Building at One Minto? 12Jun 05, 2013 9:57 am Hi! We are building Seabreeze 2 and they're up to the internal fittings, etc! Hopefully not long now We're living in China at the moment though (will be back in Australia in September) so my brother in law is overseeing our build. Are you building as well? Re: Anyone Building at One Minto? 13Jun 19, 2013 9:11 am guys i'm building with One minto stage 5c. my construction will start in august. waiting for get our planning get approved. we didn't go with Rawson or Wisdom as their Stage 9 seems bit expensive and other houses design wasn't in our budget. it's true that they got housing commission houses but we don't hear any bad incident very often. besides crime happens all over in sydney...doesn't matter where u live. i saw some lots was vacant next our one. i'm not sure if they r sold out or still not up for sale..

Re: Anyone Building at One Minto? 15Jun 20, 2013 11:46 am Thank u Jox. they said the same thing to me but i was stick with the sales office. every second day emailed them for price list. what happens is some people book the land with $300 deposit but later on changed their mind or doesn't get finance approved. so they cancel booking. the land i have got there are four lots in a raw and all of then has got no sign of lot number or sold banner. i guess either my land was recently released or it was a cancellation. did u already buy land or waiting for next release ?
