However, they can't give us a pre-approval figure! We already paid a $1,500 deposit to get a quote and soil tests, etc from a builder, and just completed two months of selecting colours and electrical items, and trying to keep costs down as much as possible. Our broker said the bank is waiting for a "fixed price contract" but can't tell us how much we can spend! We will be using equity in our current home for the deposit, and borrowing the rest, but a figure our broker told us is now about $50K less than our estimated total cost (of which some of those items are also TBC). We are up for $84,000 in site costs, OH&S and council requirements in the sales quote (our land has a 3M fall from corner to corner, but the builder said they can build on it). And of course it will be subject to the bank's valuation of the value of land and proposed build! But this can be earth-shattering if, after all the months (and years on the land) of planning, changes, amendments and deletions, the bank rejects the application! It's unfair if you don't get told what your budget is from the start! 1 2989 Ardo That is so funny! I wonder how many people know who Larry Haun is these days.
