Unfortunately not it basically says they're under no obligation to get it done in a timely manner. The most annoying thing if we've constantly had to chase them to get an update. I would be fine if they had straight up said 'look we don't know when it will be ready' rather than just telling us it'll be next month and then nothing happens.
We are building the Lincolnshire Alfresco Mark 2 with Hickinbotham which by the look of it they have changed the basic plans since we signed off about this time last year. They rushed through our selections in June so everything is ready to go as soon as we have access.

Hey KP
We actually built our first home in Barker a few years ago but originally had purchased a block in The Orchard at Bluestone and actually ended up pulling out of the contract and getting all our deposit back etc (not the only ones to do so either) because of similar delays - We just weren't ever seeming to get definite answers on when anything actually would happen and from what I understood was that they actually don't start works until a certain % of the blocks are officially sold so that they can fund the works but that was before the new developers bought Bluestone (think they are onto the third company now!) - whether that funding bit is true or not but sounds like you have been mucked around for a long time!!!
Great to see there's still people on here building in mt barker we made some great friends last time around just by chatting on this forum!
We are now building again just down the road at The Grove estate off sims where we built our first house with Metricon we managed to snap up a 1025sqm block so jumped at the chance and have had it just over a year now
Hi Davelle
When we bought there was only one block left in that release that hadn't sold. One of the last times we went up there we noticed there were about 4 of 5 which had been put back on the market. We are in the incredibly lucky position that we were able to move in with my parents (which was only going to be June - Dec 2016) had we not been able to do that we would have had to resell.
We have finally got access to the block and went out there and stood on it for the first time in this 14 month process. The developer made the mistake however of leaving all their rubbish on our block, boxes of pipes, 4 pallets and more rubbish. I think they did that on purpose because we haven't been the nicest to them through this. They called us on Wednesday night to say they has a gift, my boyfriend went up and got a very generous voucher to the garden centre and a big box on Menz chocolates. He also checked and only half the rubbish had been taken off so we sent another email off. I bet they can't wait to be totally rid of us!
So Hickinbotham are hoping to have us released to construction this week all going well!! Now my only concern is whether they can pour the slab if the ground is wet being as we're getting closer to winter.
This whole process has sure been a learning experience and the build hasn't even started yet. At this point if I'm not laughing about it I'm crying. Surely we're due for some good luck soon I hope.
