A few added extras and a signed fixed tender!

So we have our fixed price tender back and we are overall pretty happy with it.

We asked for a few extras to be added in

1. Floor to ceiling tiling in the bathroom and ensuite $3000
2. Glass splash back in the kitchen $650 upgrade
3. Upgrade the benchtop of the Quantum Quartz Deluxe range $350

We they were also about to lock in site costs (well as well as they can) they came in at $7k so pretty happy there too!

We aren't sure if we will be going ahead with the tiling at this point. We are going to wait to see how finances go over the next 6 months and see if we can spare the extra cash. I really like floor to ceiling tiles  and the inclusions is only skirting so we shall see!

We also drove past the development today and were pleasantly surprised to see roads, footpaths and street lights! So we may defintely be on track for a Feb/March registration but we will just have to wait and see.

So the ball is now in the court of the bank... I have emailed everything to our lovely lender to see how it works from here. We signed loan documents almost 10 days ago so hopefully that started the ball rolling. We have (almost we are about $150 off) the 5% deposit for the land and house which is what we need to exchange with the builder in the coming weeks.

I'm a little nervous that we will get knocked back for finance but I've got everything crossed that we have done everything that our lender has asked for and we are in the right range.
