The first delay was that the settlements department were looking for the lot in WA not NSW (idiots). The second delay was that the bank hadn't applied for the FHOG that they needed to release funds for the land settlement so we only applied for that on Tuesday. The third delay is now that it has to be re-certified by settlements before our conveyancer can book settlement. We NEED to settle on Tuesday otherwise we could incur penalties and the bank is nonchalant about the delays (which they have caused).
In more positive news, we have our 147 certificate and it was the last piece of the puzzle needed to get approved by the certifer so I'm expecting our plans should be approved next week. It has been 2 weeks since the builder said he wanted to be onsite in 3-4 and with the exception of the land settlement we are all on track so its getting close!
The master bed ended up being extended without cost as it needed to meet with a compliance requirement. We ended up changing the secondary frontage windows to 2 vertical windows to match the front of the house as we needed to met the requirements of the corner block rebate. We also upgraded to a metallic ultra clear glass splashback which was a bit of a hit to the bank account but I think it will be well worth it.
Our updated plans:
