Our finance clause ends on Friday and our bank won't fully approve the loan until the land registers... DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE! So our broker is running around trying to sort it, I am trying not to stress. We paid our initial Coral deposit in March (I think) to get our contract done ASAP for FHOG and they dragged it out until 2 weekends ago. I really hope they do it in 3 weeks for you! I did make quite a few structural changes to be fair. At least it looks like the FHOG has been extended until December? That's EXACTLY the same issue for us, loan won't fully approve until the land registers!! Even though the block is flat, pegged and they can walk on it to do valuations they won't go unconditional until it's registered. My concern is though that once the land settles in mid July we have 2 weeks to settle or they start hammering you with fee's and I'm really worried our contract won't be done by then. Home owners grant has been extended which is awesome ! I just want this all to go smooth sailing and not hearing anything back about finance yet is killing me it's been almost 2 weeks Re: Coral Homes general build thread 8796Jun 20, 2017 1:23 pm Caydenn StephLee I know, its painful.. we just had another issue with our finance.

"what has happened is the title details that Stockland has provided haven't yet registered...the bank is trying to find out the current title details so they can do their searches and ensure Stockland has the legal right to sell to you. Your conveyancer said she will be able to track the info down for us." So perhaps you need to get a solicitor involved ASAP? If this works.. Il let you guys know haha Re: Coral Homes general build thread 8797Jun 20, 2017 1:46 pm StephLee dougang287 Watch national tiles they have contracts with Metricon so they hold stock for them meaning you can put your order in but they can run out of your tile That's a joke! I WOULD LOSE MY SH*T! Re: Coral Homes general build thread 8798Jun 20, 2017 6:11 pm Hi guys, can anybody please explain the "tender" to me and how long does it take to get to this stage? Sorry if i sound so in the dark! Cheers Re: Coral Homes general build thread 8799Jun 20, 2017 6:57 pm breebarter Hi guys, can anybody please explain the "tender" to me and how long does it take to get to this stage? Sorry if i sound so in the dark! Cheers Tenders are before the contracts drawn up. I would add absolutely EVERYTHING into it including upgrades in kitchen bathrooms, also include$ for variations (colours -in case you've missed something, electrical, bushfire-if you need it, driveway, portico & patio slab) you can take things out but it takes 2-4wks in between to add variations once contract signed and correct errors even if Cs fault. All quite depressing so expect the worst and you will be pleasantly suprised, hopefully sorry if I've missed things... Re: Coral Homes general build thread 8800Jun 20, 2017 7:06 pm [quote="StephLee"]Has anyone else noticed in their contract it says you can't select tiles over 400x400 for bathroom floors or they won't lay them? Something to do with the shower space.. The tiles we want are 450x450 /quote] Coral has several ranges depending on which package to you take up. the most recent package change is also by far the dumbest.: - current promos on offer - if you go with the DESIGNER + luxury tiles upgrade pack you get a choice upto 450x450 or 300x600. BUT if you go elegance + tiles upgrade (in one of several combo packs atm), you only get upto 450x450 go figure... and it seems this information isn't being made all that clear, even to the SC's - as i recently discovered with my last discussion... BTW all this info can be found on the coral website under their Terms and Conditions page (yeah, i read it all - and check every so often, as I've been caught with this type of B.S before) http://coralhomes.com.au/terms-conditions You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14293 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 14370 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4379 |
