Well...here I am..still not really believing that its true.......
FINALLY after thinking about it for SOOOO long we are going to build our house!! For those of you that know us, you know how long we have had our dream bush block...and how much we have grown out of this house!
But is actually all seems to have happened in a hurry..
It was only 2 weeks ago while having my tax done by my girlfriend, that I was whinging about the fact that no. one son had moved back home and bought extra furniture with him that just didn't fit back into his old room.. and she just said.."its time that you built that new house"...my reply..."yes I know! but where do you start!"
She immediately handed over her finance brokers no.. and said give this guy a call! find out how much you can borrow and go from there!! Well that's was the start of it all...
FRIDAY.....
Rang Finance Broker and made appointment for Monday..
Visited with a builder that I had previously looked at...as I had one of their plans in mind for over 4 years only to find out that it was discontinued and didn't like ANY of the new plans that replaced them. My friend told me to check out National Builders as her sister had build with them and they were great...
Check the website for house plans and started scrolling thru..I had my ideas about exactly what I wanted and they have great plans, but by the fourth one I knew that I had found the house that I just loved..it was just perfect with no alterations!
SATURDAY.....
Visited the local display home and had a chat with the CSR re pricing etc....
MONDAY.......
Finance Broker visited and gave us a few different options......and a figure that we could borrow... he suggested that we could put a deposit on the house, especially seeing as though the price would go up on 1st August by $5000 per house...so our paperwork has gone of to the bank for pre-approval for a loan..and I am still in shock about how EASY that was!
WEDNESDAY......
Hubby snuck back out to display home and put deposit down...and when I got home from work was presented at the door with the receipt and a glass of bubbly....
SO NOW THE JOURNEY BEGINS................3 months of paperwork and 5 months to build.......
I am excited!!..scared!!!..... and have a whole heap of different emotions going on at the moment... But this is only the first step so fingers crossed that everything goes to plan!
Enjoy the journey
