Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building at Eden Grange Riverstone? 582Jan 23, 2014 2:31 pm I am just sending my first cranky email to my CSA. I emailed her yesterday for an update on whether my plans had been submitted or not. She replied saying they were still being worked on and she would let me know when they had been. Also could not even give me an idea on when registration of land is likely. I have been waiting since Feb 2012!!!! That's almost two years and have not uttered a word of complaint to EB despite all the delays and setbacks. I was told in July 2012 that the houses would be built in the order in which the deposits were put down. Can't see this happening if my plans haven't even been submitted yet and registration is likely in Feb. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh........ I have also mentioned about the NBN cost as well. I'm sure they have charged me $800 plus and told me it was a compulsory payment. Will see what she says. Thanks to everyone for all the info, without it I would still be sitting here none the wiser and EB trying to fob me off. This is the second time I have built with them so I really should know how things go by now....lol. Hope everyone is well, Lisa Re: Anyone building at Eden Grange Riverstone? 583Jan 23, 2014 2:58 pm This is the first time we have built, but I'm getting the impression this estate is taking much longer than others, am I right or wrong? If so, what is the hold up? I understand that they had issues with roads etc but shouldn't all the plans etc be ready to submit to council, especially all who bought way back in 2012... Why are they still being worked on? We also haven't winged to Eden Brae until yesterday when I enquiried about NBN, but since we handed over our money we have heard nothing from them, I would think they would contact us regularly to give us updates to where we are at... Which is a little dissapointing just from a customer service perspective. I did forget about the Eden Brae connect service, so will log on tonight when my husband brings home the paper work he carries with him to work everyday in the hopes someone will contact him with some information! Lol Good luck with your email Lisa, check your tender out as it shows weather you did or didn't pay for NBN, if you did then contact EB as we had no problems getting a refund on that.

Sheffield 25 @ Eden Grange Re: Anyone building at Eden Grange Riverstone? 590Jan 23, 2014 6:37 pm Shellstar - I know I paid for the NBN as I was told that I had no choice in the matter, that it was part of the estate and DA etc, etc... Wasn't happy at the time but it got added to the final total. Re: Anyone building at Eden Grange Riverstone? 591Jan 23, 2014 6:43 pm The Same happened for us, we assumed it was compulsory too as it was just added to out tender and we didn't question it at the time as we didn't know much about it, it was only talking to people on this forum that we soon realized that wasn't the case... they seem to be conceding defeat on this one, so i'm sure you will win on this one like the rest of us. Building our first home! Sheffield 25 @ Eden Grange Re: Anyone building at Eden Grange Riverstone? 592Jan 23, 2014 6:55 pm Hi all I just wanted to clarify the NBN connection fee. Are you referring to the cost to have Telstra supply it to the house or are you talking about the cost to have your house wired up for it which is through the electrical contract? Deb Re: Anyone building at Eden Grange Riverstone? 593Jan 23, 2014 6:57 pm Marsh86 Hi Guys please fill out the form i made to get a fencing indication and preferences https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1phgKHp ...

Are you referring to the cost to have Telstra supply it to the house or are you talking about the cost to have your house wired up for it which is through the electrical contract? Deb Hi Deb, It was a charge on your tender (for us it was $860) I know some had it included on their tender which then would have been at no charge, but others were charged the fee, go through your tender and see if you can find the charge. It wasn't the one raised at the electrical appointment if that helps. Michelle Building our first home!

Michelle Thanks Re: Anyone building at Eden Grange Riverstone? 596Jan 23, 2014 10:36 pm scubasteve_888 Honi74 Hi Paul, I was just contacted today by Eden Brae to tell me they are submitting my plans to council today. Some must of been submitted earlier. Try and stay on top of Eden Brae. As for internet, there is NBN connected in the area. You need to ask them if they have it in your contract. They told me that I would have to pay extra for NBN as it wasn't included, but after speaking to others, I found out they were charging some of us and not charging others. So I posed the question to Eden Brae and they waived the fee. Check with them and make sure you have everything in writing. Hope that helps. Hi Kim, Thanks very much for the above information. I contacted Eden Brae this morning regarding this issue, and they are crediting me the money paid back for the NBN! You saved me $626! Much appreciated. I recommend everyone do the same! Steve Hi Steve & Michelle, The credit you guys have received for the NBN, was that for the pre-wiring for NBN? We were charged $675 in our electrical appointment. I was wondering if this is what you are all being credited for or something else?

Sounds like you're in a similar boat to most of us - get on to EBH.

My loan has been organised through Aussie Home Loans too as my Uncle manages a branch. He's told me to go with variable for the land and the house, then you can combine them and make them a fixed later on. If you make your land a fixed loan, then you will end up with two separate loans for however long you locked your fixed rate in for. I built with EB back on 2009.
