I hate being a first home buyer (well, not really). I'm so confused. lol. Time to phone and talk directly I think. I know the feeling, we were first home buyers as well, we just went through a mortgage broker who was superb through out the whole process and extremely approachable. We had so many bumps in our road and everyone from the developer, Henley and councils were very accommodating and assisted in us getting our first home! As long as your conveyancer is ontop of it all, as ours was all over the place and gave us a few head aches! All should be good, I look forward to more updates and to see how plantation homes are up there Re: Plantation Homes: Marlo 4 | Gold Coast 32May 14, 2014 8:31 pm So today we had our new home proposal with Plantation. Our tender presenter was lovely and very helpful. Had to make deletions/modifications to get it back under budget (whoops!). However, now we've had more time to look it all over, we have major concerns over their proposed siting. Even stranger, even though they had the contour survey, they didn't use that for the siting. So they're may be variation, but how they have it now, especially with the retaining wall on three sides is very concerning to us. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our land, when visually looked at, has very little slope, and we figured maybe one side would need a retaining as the block to our right is higher up. Has anyone ever seen such a thing before? Is there another way we can propose to the builder to do it, to avoid the retaining and rendering a lot of our minimal space quite redundant. Thanks! Re: Plantation Homes: Marlo 4 | Gold Coast - Tender prices. 33May 18, 2014 8:28 pm Guess no one has any ideas. Nevermind. Might have to talk in depth with our admin more about it. Thought I might post some prices we got at our tender presentation, to help those who are looking to go with Plantation Homes. Obviously these prices may not be 100% correct for your own circumstances, as prices can change (and house size dependent), but at least it is an idea. Some of the below we had to chop out due to budget.
Re: Plantation Homes: Marlo 4 | Gold Coast - Tender prices 35May 18, 2014 8:42 pm Yep, very strange. Which is why I'll probably talk to her in regards to seeing a more up to date siting prior to our contract meeting.
Re: Plantation Homes: Marlo 4 | Gold Coast - Tender prices 37May 20, 2014 6:20 am No, we didn't sign the tender but we did pay another deposit to keep things moving forward.
