Re: Somerfield Estate - Keysborough 38Aug 31, 2014 10:52 am Phoenix, I am feeling the exact same way. I don't even care and am not interested in the build anymore. We can't do anything about the garden stuff up. We just have to live with a garden that we don't want. I'm not going to change it and then have to go through the approval process again. it is just way too complicated. I am very annoyed that we still have to pay full price for something we didn't want and that they stuffed up. We are just a few streets down from where the old display homes were. So are you still waiting for the permit or have you been handed over to construction? I really hope you guys can start soon!!!! Well hopefully one day soon our houses will both start and then we can update with happy points and progress photos hahaha. Keep us updated with how it is going. Re: Somerfield Estate - Keysborough 39Sep 01, 2014 9:21 am Omg what have they done to u guys Phoenix & Emily!??! I'm so sorry to hear this ((( I don't understand why u guys have to keep going back to the developers 4 approvals? We r building with Burbank, and they already did all that b4 the land settled, the only thing that held up our building commencement was the build permit from the council (took 8 weeks). Did u wait long between signing the land contract and the settlement? We waited about 7 months, maybe that's why it gave Burbank heaps of time to get all the approvals from the developers. Emily - does it say on the build contract what ur original garden was? U should put the complaint through or maybe say something like ur gonna pull out or something? Sorry I'm not an expert, just really think it's unfair! We r building with Burbank so far so good (fingers crossed), we r coming up to the fixup stage (cabinetry, painting, tiling, etc) hopefully finishing b4 Xmas. I was in the same situation like u guys - waiting for the build to start and everyone said once it's started it's very quick, so hang in there guys.. I think if u didn't wait that long between the land contract signing and settlement maybe that's why ur still waiting for the developers/council approvals.. All the best for both of ur builds..
