Settlement is due next Friday - 17 February. All the papers and finances are in order so it should go through smoothly.
Just received an email from LDA saying, in addition to new land in Bonner, they had some land unsold in Wright Stage 1 that they were selling. I think at least some of these are from those who had selected the land through Ballot and land rent and for some reason or another wanted to return them. Driving around the suburb a few days ago I saw some For Sale signs on some plots and on others building material (waffle pods) laid out.
We have provided the house specifications and plans to five builders and have some quotations back. Fitting the house into our budget is going to be a challenge but I am hopeful it will work out.
Here are some features of our house-to-be:
- 2 storey house - almost 343 sq m (incl garage, ground floor and first floor)
- Lower floor brick veneer, upper hardietex
- Six bedrooms (2 downstairs and 4 upstairs)
- Study
- Four toilets (2 downstairs, 2 upstairs)
- 1 bath/jacuzi
- Two showers (1 down, 1 up)
- In-slab solar/gas hydronic heating integrated with hot water system. An additional instant gas hot water system will also be required.
- Gas heating with compressor for cooling
- Fireplace
- Kitchen & walk-in-pantry
- Meals area
- Family room
- Dining area
- Formal lounge
- Prayer area
- Main entrance - Porch
- Secondary entrance (its a corner block)
