Can it be this easy or are we missing something???
In one of the areas we have been searching for new PPOR (already established) we wandered into a land sales office & were told of a new release to be two weeks from then (making it Easter Sat). We looked at maybe 3 display houses & thought of all the horror stories we have heard over the years and thought nah not for us -too much hassle, too expensive etc etc.
Then, after looking at yet more existing houses, making offers & getting no where (apart from depressed), friend steers us to mutual acquaintance who works for a builder in the area.
Basically off we go & have a chat, seems building not as 'difficult' as it used to be apparently, find we like the display floor plan so off we go to land office - given sheet of land to be released & now here comes the surprising bit - we find the perfect block, chat to builder who can fit not the perfect plan (block no good) but my second choice of floor plan which fits perfectly with what we want.
Thought it was supposed to take months of searching & planning & agonising & arguing??
Are we missing something (apart from having to get some finance for land asap) or have we fluked it?
Oh yeah - and this is going to cost less than buying one of the established places in the same area that we have been looking at??
Cheers
