We have decided to build in MR, have been into the land sales office a few times, looked at lots of display homes and plans and are just sorting out our finances. I just have a question - did anyone make an offer on their block or was there no room for negotiation due to the high demand for the blocks? Cheers Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 515May 06, 2014 6:17 pm JJ+B Hi everyone, I've been stalking this thread for a while but have decided to join in.

I just have a question - did anyone make an offer on their block or was there no room for negotiation due to the high demand for the blocks? Cheers All the lots are already priced. There was no negotiating with ours, it was take it or leave it. But then there were others that had their name in our block if we didn't want it. Good luck!! Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 516May 06, 2014 6:45 pm Welcome Chapman88 & JJ&B. Chapman, we are building an Armstrong with Elderton. JJ&B - didn't try and negotiate. Price is what it is. Drainage dug out today. They'll finish that tomorrow and hopefully fence the place ready for our frame! Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 517May 06, 2014 7:00 pm Our land purchasing experience was great... first go see Jeff in person and show that you are serious. Then put your name down for pre release registration and try to reserve a lot before it goes on sale to the general public. In saying that, I have heard that the next release of land isn't for a few months. It will pay to get in early if you are serious. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 518May 08, 2014 9:33 am Thanks for the responses. I had a feeling that the prices might be set. I was in the sales office last week and they told me that there would be a release within the next 3-4 weeks, however all of the good blocks in that release are already "reserved". I might have another look at it though and see if we can be put down as second in line on any that we like, just in case the first in line pulls out. Another question - the last blocks to sell in each release seem to be corner blocks. Someone in the sales office (it was a few months ago so can't remember who) said the only reason they can think of is because they're typically very large blocks (700m2+) so are more expensive which is why they're sitting around for longer. Does anyone have any other idea why corner blocks are less desirable? Cheers, JJ+B Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 519May 08, 2014 5:39 pm Corner blocks are more expensive due to the size of the land but also the house you build is required to have something of interest and not just bare bricks. It needs to look nice just like your front would. It is an estate requirement. The Mulgoa Rise guide has information in it. Talk to Jeff about it before you purchase. Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you.
