But we had a good broker which helped Oh wow, that is a really long time. Did you have to request for many finance extensions on your land due to the timeframe it took for them to unconditionally approve you? We are on our first extension already and i am worried they will charge us if there is too many extensions or lose our land if it takes too long 😔 Re: Our build with Easystart Homes in Carissa Estate (Sevill 73Jul 17, 2017 10:22 pm jad33mily m0llss We went through keystart, not to scare you but it did take about three to four months from conditional approval to unconditional... their admin is verrrry slow.

A bit why our process took longer too as we didn't have house plans or land finalised!

Ah I see, hopefully our broker can explain the timeframe a bit better at our meeting to lodge for finance in a couple of weeks time Re: Our build with Easystart Homes in Carissa Estate (Sevill 76Jul 18, 2017 12:01 am I went through Keystart too and it was fairly straightforward. My broker friend made sure everything was prepared well in advance (and I had a heap of time too so made sure I had given them more than enough info). Only issue for me was they didn't accept my bonus as income, so I had to pay down and refinance a small personal loan to get the repayments down to an acceptable level. It added 5-6 weeks to the process but I was still waiting on titles from memory so it didn't delay anything. In my experience they generally responded quite quickly so hopefully you have the same!

Have come up with a few hurdles in regards to our variation. The major one being that construction will not allow our 1200mm wide door in the garage now, they suggested shifting the house 60mm to the left and reducing the living/dining & alfresco by 300mm to allow for two doors but that was not happening. Hopefully they will just allow us to have a 1200 wide opening and we will sort doors ourselves. Guess we should have thought how we would fit the partners toys out the back at the beginning... Should hopefully have our final plans & documents in the next week or so once the issues have been fixed. Finance due for lodgement next week. Fingers crossed the ball keeps on rolling at this pace from here on to slab down Re: Our build with Easystart Homes in Carissa Estate (Sevill 78Aug 09, 2017 1:30 pm Not a major update but just received an email advising our home loan paperwork has now been lodged to Keystart. Eek. Should receive news within the next week if we have been pre-approved and the next steps for formal approval. Also notified they have almost finished completion of our final plans & documents to be sent out to us 🎉 Good thing we are busy the next few weeks to keep my mind off our loan application 😬 Re: Our build with Easystart Homes in Carissa Estate (Sevill 80Aug 10, 2017 4:57 pm We have been conditionally approved for our home loan woohoo :: So shocked with the day turnaround, I expected it to take at least a week for pre-approval! I bet formal approval will be the killer now hahaha of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 23765 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
