LAND: Finally

Well... Good news everyone!!! Our land was finally released late yesterday and we're due for settlement on July 20th!!! Site start not long after then!!! Woo hoo!!

Some Good News...

Received an email today from our conveyancer!

"We have been advised by the Vendor's Solicitor that the Plan of Subdivision
has been lodged at the Land Titles Office, so settlement should be in the
next few weeks.

Could you please contact your bank and make sure that you have signed
everything they require.

We will advise as soon as the Plan of Subdivision has Registered."

WOO HOO

Moved

Well, we are just finishing off our move (we will have to clean the house tomorrow) but we are now moved in to my Parent's place where we will be calling home during our build!

We are extremely grateful for our family and friends support - between my parents, my grandma and our best mates - we have our belongings spread across 3 different suburbs of Melbourne!!!

Well needless to say WE CAN'T WAIT FOR OUR BUILD TO START... we need this land ASAP!!!

Will let you know when we have an update! :)

Contract etc

So we signed contracts today.

We have had developer approval!
Need to wait 2 weeks for council approval...
And who only know how long we need to wait for our land??
So pretty much as soon as we have that title in our hot little hands... WE WILL HAVE SITE START!!!!
WOO HOO

Update

Ok.... received another letter from Sunland explaining that there are MORE delays on our block... so there is no need to stress about our land settling before our unit! The rate we're going it will be Christmas before we get our land!!!

Anyway - we've received our contracts, there was only 2 items missing - the Network Data point in the theatre room and the specifications of where the GPO's are to be located in the en suite and bathroom (I elected to have them inside the vanities to hide our electric toothbrush and shaver)

Other than that CH have said that they would like a July site start - bringing it forward 1 month from our initial August site start which would be awesome as this may mean we MAY be in for Christmas 2010 - which would be fabulous.

Anyway - that's all we really have to update at the moment - just keeping busy packing and sorting out the crap we have managed to accumulate in the past 5 years :)

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!

Good News everyone!

We have officially SOLD today!!!

Sold sticker will be going up tonight!!!

And we have been approved by the bank for land and construction even if the land settles before the unit we will be fine :)

Tender...

Ok, so we had out Tender appointment today... we went a bit... ok well a lot, over budget so there are a few things we will have to take out... the tiles alone were going to set us back $4500 aarrggghhh - needless to say I nearly fell off my seat when I saw that considering tiles are only going in the bathrooms, toilets and laundry... so we decided to knock them down to the standard range considering we are upgrading the remainder of the house to the laminates and Cat 2 carpets - I guess those are the more important areas and we're happy to pay the extra in those areas!

A few other items that were really expensive and caught us by surprise will be coming out too... we just have to weigh up what we can and can't live without and of course how much the bank will give us!!!

Will update when we decide what to do :)
