We were due to settle on the 18th of August but due to council approval not being in on time we had to extend this date to the 28th of September which sucks but had to be done! We've got our final builders meeting on the 31st of August so I should get a copy of everything cost wise in this meeting to finalise the mortgage (about time!) then once this is done I can bring the settlement forward and hopefully the land works will start right away. Where about are you building with Fairmont? The good thing is with the Vista estate is that Fairmont themselves own the land so you purchase the land from them and then you can pick whatever house you wanted and you can move around with settlement dates because Realty SA and Fairmont are in the same building so they just talk to each other and I don't have to worry haha How much did your footings end up coming in for? I was so excited when our soil work came back because the footings were what was giving me anxiety thinking that it is going to come in well over what we had budgeted for!

I have a feeling our dates may push out also, seems to be the way with this stuff! Atleast your final building interview is booked In so things are in sight! Our house just went on the market today so we are a little bit off applying for finance but as our footings aren't official yet nothing can be applied for at this stage, they should come down from the 27,000 though as thr kerbs and roads aren't in yet and they effect the final for level so the footing shouldnt need to be as deep as they have drawn, I m also counting on them coming down we.have major landscaping that will need to be done later handy that vista are in bed with fairmont, should make things easier unfortunately as we are building in blakes crossing we have to wait for them to finish the site works which Started three weeks ago and they are making good progress at this point, hopefully good weather continues hopefully things keep moving along, so much to think about hey?! Re: First Home - Fairmont Homes - Vogue - Seaford Heights Vi 11Sep 11, 2015 11:56 am Ok so we had our final builders meeting last week and have since had 100% finance approval so we can now settle whenever we want to. Fairmont advised us that a slab will be down 3-5 weeks from settlement and the total build will take 6 months start to finish get excited First Home - Fairmont Homes - Vogue - Seaford Heights Vista - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78691 Re: First Home - Fairmont Homes - Vogue - Seaford Heights Vi 12Sep 11, 2015 11:57 am heatherkam Hey @Damien_Lanni we have finished our kitchen selections now, il update my post soon with the colours but mostly greys and whites, with a hint of colour in the glass splashback it went well, went over by $2500 in the end but well worth it!

We are on a corner black and the side road and curbs havnt been put in yet either and that didn't effect our footings? maybe double check on that First Home - Fairmont Homes - Vogue - Seaford Heights Vista - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78691 Re: First Home - Fairmont Homes - Vogue - Seaford Heights Vi 13Sep 11, 2015 3:34 pm Congrats on getting all approvals etc. That's exciting! We are getting close to builders interview but have to wait to sell our house etc. I read somewhere in the fairmont paperwork that the final floor level had to be finalised so the footings could be designed properly, maybe just the road infront.of.your block has to be done. Not so much the side of the road on your corner? I'm sure they would have mentioned it and it would have held you up if it was a problem. Can't wait to see your slab! Re: First Home - Fairmont Homes - Vogue - Seaford Heights Vi 14Sep 15, 2015 9:11 am Update 15/09/15 We have now received our settlement date which is the 31st of September We tried to move it forward as we have our 100% finance approval but weren't able to due to the conveyancers having to get everything together. Site works will then commence and hopefully a slab will be down sometime in October! Re: First Home - Fairmont Homes - Vogue - Seaford Heights Vi 15Sep 19, 2015 3:32 pm Update 19/09/2015 We went to see the block today (as we do every Saturday) and we found that our side road has curbs and the bitumen is about to be layed all roads and curbs shud be completed by settlement First Home - Fairmont Homes - Vogue - Seaford Heights Vista - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78691 Re: First Home - Fairmont Homes - Vogue - Seaford Heights Vi 17Oct 06, 2015 11:13 am dijm8 good to see someone else on here building in the same area im just a few streets over, my slab should be down next week Hey Buddy, Nice to hear ur username sounds farmilliar, were you ever into the car scene?
