Things I'm currently getting quotes for to do post handover but hopefully include in the mortgage glass splashback Built in IT nook Painting All flooring except wet areas (bamboo and tile) Alfresco and veranda decking, or paving, depends on pricing Window treatments Solar panels Greywater Landscaping Re: What did you do after handover? 16Apr 25, 2014 7:02 pm Here's our list: Alarm system Security doors and window panels Window treatments Back garden landscape Extend driveway width to a true triple driveway (paving) Retaining wall Letterbox Washing lines (yes lines!!) Alfresco ceiling fans Wardrobe fit outs Additional tiling in ensuite Installing man-shed in backyard There's probably more, but until living there the list will never be complete.

That means a very light surface clean that still requires the owner to clean again. BLOG: http://www.ourphoenix38.blogspot.com.au H1 THREAD: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70454 No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 11842 yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5767 Your house should come in "as new" condition.
