This is my very first post and infact first time blogging as well.
Me and my wife bought a land in Williams Landing 4 Months ago. We been through all builders and liked 2 out of all. Henley and Boutique homes. Finally we decided to go with Henley homes.
The design we liked is Lexington Lux Q2. We paid our initial deposit to book promotion at that time. We recently paid our second deposit to send our file to head office and start admin stuff.
Our land will be titled in Feb 2014, hence we wanted to sign the building contract before atleast mid january to apply for home and land finance together. So we requested our builder to put us in priority for that to happen.
Today we received a call from admin staff from head office and tried to book us in december 13 for full day. Tender in the morning and contract signing in afternoon. Yeah you heard it right. I told her not to take advantage of my urgent situation and mentioned that i need some time to review contract before signing so can not sign the contract on the same day of tender signing. She hasnt even booked us for colour appoint yet. Lol.
So, we are waiting now for her to call us and book us for colour appointment soon. I hope it be soon.
Land contract signed 11/07/2013
