    Hi, i purchased the property from bathla in July 2013 and since been living in the house, we were given 3 months warranty, overall it is good, but the work done in the house were not so fine. For eg, we had issue of leaking water from shower in the living room ceiling, windows not properly fixed, blinds doesn't close properly, paints not done properly, telephone ports not working, door knob n handles, hot water issues, holes in the garage, and all other minor issues. 

    no major issues so far and i hope we don't have. we have 5 town houses, and some houses i could see have problem with drainage systems. but they were fixing it too. 

    my suggestion: As soon as you buy the house, start living in there so you know what is going wrong in the house to fix it and use all the bathrooms, showers, dishwashers, alarm, fire alarm, telephones, bulbs, air conditioner, everything possible. 

    not so good: You need to keep ringinig and send them email about the issues and chase up.

                           someone will need to be in the house most of time so Bathla people can come and fix it.

    but they do come and fix it, so its not bad, i am now waiting for my window to be fixed. and have to keep reminding them. 

    overall its not a bad buy with the property market rising, i did find the price that was right for me with this company.

    i hope you will find yours too. good luck.

    Hi duckster,

    I followed what you instructed, Is the calculation you advise is for fortnight?  it is what i am looking for, sorry i m still having some issues, 

    so interest charge ($$$)= 0.0499 /365 = 0.0001367 (daily interest ), balance = ($110000-$589.94 =$109,411

    $109,411*0.0001367*13 = $194.45 ( Is this the interest amount?)

    Second part

    end of month,

    0.0499/365 = 0.0001367,

    $109,411 * 0.0001367*13 = $194.45

    ####= pervious balance + interest charged – payment

    $109,411= $110000+$194.45 – $589.84

    i didn't get this part as well as copying the rows and altering date, also is it possible if you can send me the spread sheet calculation of my loan amount that i have mentioned above please? then i can see how you did it and learn that way.

    my email is [email protected]

    Thank you

    Currently the established houses are around $350K for 3bed, 1 bath n 1 car park , but the thing is they are all about 20mins walk from the station and cannot find any other property. I will ask builders to see the other properties they have built and talk to the owners how they going with the property?

    i did read lot of bad reports about this builder but i didn't get to talk to clients who purchased the houses from them as yet, i will do that, they didn't give us any discount either, so atm i m risking $1000, i was actually looking some second hand houses in Mt Druitt area, and its no where near to train station as this one, and we also wanted to get government grant, i agree price is high for this house. i read about "Off the plan pitfalls" thank u, its got lot of info, i will take that in consideration. I still have time until 27 June to decide so i hope i will decide something.

    Thank you Jamie for your advice, yea i might only deposit 5% and get the pre approval and then wait for valuation just in case, also is pre-building inspection good idea to do for brand new property?
