Take the pic to a nursery, we did the same as we had no clue on what the plants were called.

Totally depends on the bank. We have banks that do val and give formal approval just on subdivision docs, yes the land is cleared but definitely before any titles are…

Woohoo. How exciting!!

Yep, seed. My partner is so impatient so I was worried, but its come up beautiful and so much cheaper than turf, and knowing we did that ourselves, even better.

Thank you! Its seed and we are so happy with it.
The houses we have seen with mirror finish just don't float our boat

Hope that works

Can check it out for you, we don't like the mirror finish, not our thing. But as I said we can see out no problem but nobody can see in…

We tinted our front door and front bedroom windows. We can have blinds up in bedroom and you can't see in. Front door now has a crimsafe door so can't…

We got lucky with our blinds, at the time it was free installation so we saved heaps.

We have a wagon and a ranger ute, they both fit.

They did with us. We had to change to our name when we moved in. Vic here too.

I work for a broker (family business) and can guarantee we are never responsible for hold ups, its the bank (either under the pump or just playing catch up) or…

Banks will mostly do a val at base stage and again at completion.

We downsized, smaller block and smaller house ( 3 bed , 2 bath, open lounge, kitchen dining) suits us perfectly! Our 21 yr old baby left home as we started…

Depends on the bank. Normally fhog is paid at slab invoice (as long as all submitted and approved) Anz pay direct to customer

Yayy how exciting!!

We did the handover at our house! Wonder why they can't do that?

Are you talking gas charges? I thought they only did the gas hot water for natural gas only??

We paid $2k when we signed.

What's the sort of things we should be looking for?
We have found a few very minor things, but not sure if we're missing anything.

We built Simmonds express, been in our home for 2 months and are so happy with our build
Where are you building ?

We werent left any!! Only roof tiles, kitchen tiles and a few boxes of floor tiles. We did ask if there were any left we wanted them.

Did you get ( and pay for) an nbn pack? We paid 400 or so and got extra data points

We watched our Ss use his key (locked, unlocked and maybe lock again) then his key didn't work, he did it on all our locks.

The bank will always want you to contribute any funds you are putting toward purchase or build before they fund/drawdown the loan.

Gemma, I've been meaning to ask you. What is the silo looking thing in the background ?
