We are building the Polaris by Celebration Homes in the Trinity estate, Alkimos. We are currently waiting on a roof tiler, so I thought it was about time to start our own building thread!
My husband and I started this journey in June 2012. We had just returned from our honeymoon and started looking at display homes and potential areas to buy land. It didn't take long before we fell in love with the Trinity estate. Alkimos is a beautiful area, not a lot around just yet, but the plans for the area are amazing and we're excited to be so close to the ocean.
At first, we were talking with a building company, mulling over plans and putting a hold on a block of land. We were also looking at other builders and drowning in piles of housing brochures! After a few weeks we swayed towards Celebration Homes instead, put a second hold on the block and signed up. We took the plunge, putting down our deposit to secure our chosen block and had our plans prepared

The Polaris plan by Celebration Homes satisfied all our requirements for a home that we can grow into. We made all the structural changes we wanted at the contracts stage, so our Prestart in December 2012 was nice and easy - just confirming everything we'd already done, going over the electrical side of things and confirming all the selections we wanted. We were very happy with their standard range - we can live with everything very comfortably and upgrade as time goes by if we wish.
