thanks Sands, we feel like we will be going to be in the same boat, we might have NHP at the 30th oct 2014, and have to follow what you did.
hows everything going with you? have you started packing?
Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our build Henley Monaco Nouveau Q1 – Harvest Views Estat 42Oct 03, 2014 5:30 pm Not a good way to finish a Friday. We are pretty much being held to ransom by our neighbour. He has instructed our fencer that he will not consider the fence quote for another 14 weeks once an allowance has been set by their builder. We have a concreting job (drive way and paths) that can't start till the fence is up, a small dog and a small child to keep in and dirt bags to keep out. We are gutted because in 14 wees they could still say no. Really not sure where to go from here. ......vcat???? They have a turn key package if that makes a difference?

Hope they wont become to much of an issue for u. Yep if possible just pay for their half. Bad luck if they don't like it as they're dragging their feet on this issue. Our rear neighbour never even got back to us either but we just paid for it since security were our main concerns. Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

Our perfect build is now being ruined by our neighbours. No driveways and paths for us until this is resolved.

Any progress with your neighbours? Hope they've come around and you guys are able to get your fences up and all. Have you had the big move yet? Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

The family will follow on Saturday. We have a landscaper up their all week during the day so not to worried. I think we have crossed a bridge with the fences and hoping that payments have been made this week and we can get them up next week. I spoke to the concreter and he is keen to get stuck into it next week as well. I am having to abuse free wifi as we have had all services disconnected at our rental so they can start the NBN.

We are all moved in maybe 50% unpacked and now have the NBN. Everything is going well. The concrete man started yesterday and the fencer is booked for Monday. The landscaper has finished our retaining walls and will be back in two weeks to lay the grass. Our little dog loves it up here and after the initial shock of the move gone he is settled. He has never had so much inside space and loves the carpet. Every night so far we have sat and looked at each other and both struggle to believe that this is our home. We have had a couple of small issues but everything has been fixed within 24hrs. 1)One of our burns on our cooker did not work 2)Our soft close drawers didn't close 3)grout from our shower base chipped away within two days 4) The big one our basin mixers take 4-5 minutes to get hot water. Henley sent the plumber round who told us they have had a lot of issues with the mixer and still had no solution. They were working with the manufacturer to come up with an answer but said we may have to have them changed. The brand is Phoenix Vivid basin mixer. They have removed the flow regulator from inside the tap and it has improved marginally. Overall we are incredibly happy and absolutely love the house, I am looking forward to my first weekend here just mucking around and enjoying it.
