CBA did not like it. However, new statement is coming through on the 31st Dec which will show up to date payments, etc. CBA is still on the cards at this point. Thanks so much for…[Read more]

However, at this point we will not sell before we have to settle on the land, and we are having trouble getting approval for finance on the land, not the construction (due to the size of the land, no other reason). Time is our problem right now. Thanks for the suggestions!!

In the past I have bought flat-pack furniture items which were always missing something or did not screw together right. I'm loathe to stuff around with bad quality pieces when a kitchen is a job that needs to be done in one hit.Anyone have any experience with a Bunnings kitchen? I'm fairly certain…[Read more]

We have also looked into using GE money and Wizard Home Loans, but both use GenWorth as their mortgage insurer.How long does an assessment by the MI normally take? Our papers were sent through to them on Monday and it's now Friday. We are getting really…[Read more]

They are also incredibly inflexible in assessing individual circumstances (husband is a sub-contracted employee and therefore needs 2 years…[Read more]

What are the disadvantages with this? Also, my mother-in-law's property is worth about $20,000 more than what we are paying for it. Are we able to use the difference between market value and agreed purchase price as a sort of deposit? I'm not sure what Payg…[Read more]
