Disappointing

Still have not been certified ok for settlement, so no settlement date yet.

Quite disappointed with Bank who have already caused much delay to the settlement and will now cause us to incur penalty interest at $90 per day when we cant complete the contract on time.

Unfortunately, it has been quite difficult of late to get excited about buying our first home which is a bit sad really.

All that is left to do is....

Confirm settlement date, pack, pack pack, and wait for settlement and then we will be First Home Buyers!

Why are we waiting?

This just in... mortgage documents have been received.

It pays to sit firmly on your mortgage broker's back.

Still waiting..

How frustrating! After being told two days ago, that our Mortgage documents had been mailed out, they are still not received. Now we find out that they are being sent today.

Any day now would be great thanks Bank!

When can we settle?

Still waiting on Mortgage documents from the Bank, which we hope to receive tomorrow. Once these are received we can find out how long we have to live in this mess and boxes. Lilly isnt complaining as she looooooves jumping and laying on boxes, especially the ones marked "Fragile".

Meanwhile, we have received a Survey which shows the land to be within its boundaries and without encroachments, which is great, no problems there!

Buying a Home

After deciding to join the First Home Buyers Market, it has been a long road to get to this point. With one failed attempt to buy a property at Quakers Hill, it looks like our time and effort will soon be rewarded.

At this point, we have unconditionally exchanged and are awaiting receipt of mortgage and FHOG documents and the receipt of a survey, to ensure that we are ready for our settlement which is proposed to take place on 27 July 2009.

Its hard not to get excited and I fall asleep designing the layout of my new bedroom in my new home. At the moment, thinking about a possible feature wall and the erection of photos on the wall because with 12 years of renting under my belt, I finally can do those things!
