Hi all,
I have been reading lots of your threads on various topics over the past couple of months about all the things that need doing when building your house. I'm now finally at the pre-start stage so it's time for me to really take notice and stop simply browsing the site, feeling jealous over all your lovely houses (they're all beautiful and yes I'm green with envy).
We are building up near Yanchep in WA - we have a block with title that is smaller than we really need but will do until we can afford something else. Bigger blocks were available but the title won't come out until later in the year and we want to get going ASAP (we've been renting for 7 years and we're sick to death of it).
Any advice on what to expect with builder contracts and do they contain any hidden nasties? I don't know what to expect at pre-start, if things we want to upgrade are ridiculously expensive or if we can still pull out if we want to. We have signed pre-contracts with Dreamstart and have paid our $2000 deposit.
TIA
