FTO AUSTRALIA

...and this time it's great news

Something that Sue and I thought would never happen in our lives.

Sue and I have just been pre-approved for a home loan.
It's a loan for the purchase of land and construction of a new home.

We have already been looking at land and homes.
We have chosen this house... http://www.sarahhomes.com.au/h_4Elindsay.php
But with the upgrades we want, power/water connections, sewer sepage tank installed it comes to approx $160k.

We are looking at acreages from 2.5 to 6 acres, hoping to purchase in the towns of Nelshaby or Napperby.
Both these towns are in the foothills of the Southern Flinders Ranges and boast views of the Flinders Ranges and the Spencer Gulf.

Awesome news Phil!

Couldn't be happier for you guys!

Hope it all goes smoothly, you guys deserve it.

Congratulations!

That's awesome news.

When am I coming to visit

So we get to keep you here in South Australia then Phil.

This is awesome news

Grats! Bonfire at your place, eh??

As an expertly qualified property planner this design has my approval.

Awesome news! Congrats!

That's amazing news, Phil! Had a look at the house you're wanting to get built and it's very nice

Looks like we know where our SA piss-ups/trophy presentations will be from now on

well meeting at Phil's on the way to the bonfire just got a lot harder.

congrats though

can have this bonfire later in the year say "september"?

We are pretty excited.

A FTO get together of some sort will be organised at some stage.
We are probably looking at about 10-12 months before the house would be built and ready to move into.

@ Kiz, Very funny...You put all the sheds at the front door and having an acreage I'm sure the shed/s would be a bit further away from the house anyway
(If we can afford some sheds )

@ Danielson, You know you can come and visit anytime

@ Everyone, Thanks

Congratz Phil
Now I definitely have to plan that road trip!

Haha! Phil's place was our usual meet stop before entering Sydney, we just need a liiiitle bit of detour I guess.

Awesome news, congratulations!

We purchased our acreage today

2.5 acres with views of the Flinders Ranges out the back and views of Spencer Gulf out the front.
It was selling for $85k, we offered $60k, they came back with a counter offer of............
$65k
So we purchased it for $65k.
Who says low balling doesn't pay

This is the block...

The land has power available right in front and has a water meter already installed.
We intend on building our house 100 meters back from the street.
This means we will be connecting three phase power due to the distance of connection.
Power connection quotes so far...
First quote = $9k
Second quote = $5k

20k saving.

Looks epic Phil!

Nice!
That view looks a little like mine too!

Awesome score, and congratulations!

Nicely done mate! Congratulations

Congrats Phil.When does building start?
