I was just talking to my mum about it today actually. I have a feeling it is going to coincide with DD starting school Which is pretty much the worst timing ever.

(Exactly same as yours) in Plumpton and happened to see your article. So just thought to contact you to get your experience with the house. Are you 100% satisfied with what you got? Appreciate your thoughts in advance. Thanks Din Re: Simonds Express - Rathdowne - Western Melbourne 605Feb 14, 2017 3:15 pm DinLak Hi Megera, I'm about to sign the contract with Simonds for a Rathdowne Express home with Langridge facade.

Thanks Din Yes, we are, despite the issues we are having with our tiles and the maintenance side of things we are very happy and our experience with the build team was fantastic. Hope that helps!

Have your floors been sorted yet? - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Simonds Express - Rathdowne - Western Melbourne 607Feb 17, 2017 1:15 pm needsausername Meg! Have your floors been sorted yet? Not yet Both good and bad. Bad because this is dragging on so long and is ridiculous but good because DD just started prep and I didn't want any disruptions while we were getting her settled in to her new routine. We are getting a second car on he weekend so happy for it to happen ASAP now...!

I am just wondering what you think of your carpet? We have built the express Blackwood colour scheme and have found that our carpets, which are supposed to be black look rather 'green' (especially in the sunlight and in contrast to or black tiles and furniture). I'm just wondering if you have found the same thing? Thanks Re: Simonds Express - Rathdowne - Western Melbourne 609Jul 15, 2017 2:13 pm SALLY1 Hi Megera, Your house looks lovely.

Any advise or changes you have been able to make would be great But for now does anyone on here know if this plan can fit a 6-8 seater dining table as it looks very small and every photo has a round 4 seater in it Re: Simonds Express - Rathdowne - Western Melbourne 615Oct 25, 2017 11:30 am Misskb Hey guys, Ive secured a block of land that is not due to title until March 2018 Im really considering building the Simonds Rathdowne but im just a bit cautious.

It really depends on your sales team and whether or not you can make changes. Some people have been able to make a few and others - like us were not. If you can I would definitely recommend dark grout and adding more power points & LED downlights. Some people were allowed to change/add cupboards. The carpet as standard is rubbish, it is definitely one of the things we will replace when the kids are a little older. We have a 6 seater rectangular dining table and it fits well. 8 would likely be too big.
