Making a Decision

We are at the stage now where we have a block of land (almost) and have pre-approval for construction of a house. The block of land is Lot 511, No. 33 McCallum Drive in Clyde. It's a really nice 750m2 block, 18.75 metres wide and 40 metres long. It's flat but has a bit of fill on top so we will be up for a few $1000 of site costs as we will need a H class slab (whatever that means).

We have been given approval for land finance subject to a valuation of the block which should happen this week. We are supposed to settle on the 20th of this month so that might be pushed back a bit but hopefully the vendor won't apply any penalties to us :)

So we have narrowed the search down to two builders and two homes. The house we are leaning toward is the Flinders 331 by Dennis Family Homes. The other house is the Whistler 264 by Fairhaven Homes. After all the upgrades have been added they both come out at around the same price.

So hopefully by the end of this week we will have made a descision and then we can really get on with things!

Quick Update, we now have formal approval for the land! YAY!
