All of the sudden....

Well, how should i post this one...

Last Wednesday, i had my building loan approved and Tanya has faxed through the information to Simonds/CSR

Last Thrusday, i had my land settled too, and my solicator has faxed through the information to Simonds/CSR too

Since then i have tried a number of times and still cannot get hold of my CSR and on Friday, someone has record a new voicemail saying that she won't be back until Monday...  OMG

She has been chasing me up about all the documents/approval either from the bank and/or the land/developer... Now i have got everything and faxed to her and she went missing... She indicated that if i don't send through the docs ASAP i won't be able to get a site start in Sept, and instead will be in Dec... because other months are full.. Well, this is not my fault, i suppose to have a site start in Oct, and she put me in Sep instead so now, if i can't start in Sept, why i have to pay the pentalty of not starting on time...  it is simply not my fault, and she just makes me very worried and not happy at all

So Monday 29Sep, i tried calling her again, and she is still not back, i called the hotline and they said she will definitely come back on Tuesday which is today, so ok i think i call again today...

But then i received a call from someone (also a CSR) who tried to follow up my case, and i told her everything is faxed... She promised to call me back (BUT of course NOT) and i have been waiting for a whole day, and finally gave her a call again before i left work.  She then said that everything is fine and she is about to send me the building permit by express post, ohohohoh... . i thought they cannot submit building permit until after the land is settled... i just cannot believe it...  looks like i have wasted all my time worrying in the past few days..  Well, they gave me the worry anyway...

So what's now...  i just need to wait for permit and i expect to have a site start anytime, is this real? am i really starting to build? can somone slap me please...

Land Settled

Finally the land is settled... I was so worried even though my solicitor sent an SMS confirming everything gone through... but i was losing a bit confident of her, so i make sure i checked my bank account today.. and things turn out ok... what a relieve...
But on the other side, i cannot find my CSR, looks like she is on urgent leave.. i was still talking to her on Wednesday and she was saying that she would wait for my fax.. but after i faxed through everything i cannot find her.. and someone has record a voicemail on her behalf saying that she would be back on Monday... OMG, i don't want to delay my site start (i actualy dont mind but they cannot charge me)... hope she's back on Monday and follow up my building permit... i am tired on this

Very Disappointed

A week is passed, while i thought everything is on track and what i need is just to wait for the bank valuation....  

Bad news come:
- the bank said the valuator didn't receive any floor plan and working drawing.. What???? everything is in the copy of contract... where their eyes are??  Thanks god i have a photocopy and thanks god i am working at home today, so i can go straight to the post office and fax through to them... just in case, also another copy by express post...  Now please don't come back and say that they have not recieved it...

- my solicator called late afternoon that i need to sign the Transfer of Land again... What???.. they said the first copy i signed was printed incorrectly.  Legal document cannot be printed on both pages..  Why didn't she pick up?  I signed and send to her for validation, and she then send to the developer solicator.. so WHY, WHY, WHY she didn't pick up??????    And now, the developer solicator refuse to receive the sign copy and i have to re-sign again...  WTFFFFF.... the settlement is in 4 days... Now i have to sign and express post to them directly...  I am f**** tired...

Finally I have a date

Received an SMS this morning from my solicator, my land has a settlement date on 25th this month... yeah, yeah, yeah... i am very very happy, so went out straight away to enjoy a good breakfast as celabration.. hehehee... hopefuly everything is going smoothy... 

Land Titled Release without my knowledge

Well, i went to the Simonds office today and paid the 2nd deposit after receiving the building warrantly on Monday
Also sorted all variation, and signed... so all done
I have also gave my CSR my front landscape plan, so that they can submit together to seek building approval.
I am quite happy although my CSR still need to come back to me about the kitchen laminate infill and kickboard color, and the ducted heating model...

As of this moment, i am still working at home (8.50pm Friday night), and feeling very tired, so just checked the Alamanda website and found that Stage 3 is titled... OMG without my knowledge.. what my solicator has been doing? no information from her at all, in fact i have left her an voicemail this morning and checked how's thing and she has not got back to me yet...

I start to worry now... will have to give her a call first thing Monday... But to be honest this is a good news... hope i can make the October site start and no need to pay for penatly for any site delay... thanks godness

Building Loan sorted (looks like)

Today, finally meet my new loan manager Tanya.. things seem ok, i have got pre-approval for the building loan pending on valuation (schedule for next week)... hopefully everything is going to be fine..

Talked to my solicator as well (finally got hold of her)... very standard, she only want me to look out for the building insurance, that's all... plus if i will be charged penantly if site start delay... brah brah brah....  i am not sure if i should change another solicator... i seem lost a bit confident of her... she is always not available... 

I just hope that the land is settled before the end of this month, finger crossed..
==============================

Things seem moving, but still worry.....

Recent update is i had signed my contract on 29Aug. A bit disappointed that i cannot bring the contract home... so has to read it on the day, I really feel that i don't have enough time to go through everything...

When home, realised that i didn't pick up a few things, has to chase up with my CSR... 
Although she is nice, but quite hard to get hold of... has to call a few times and send a few emails... A week is gone, finally recieved a variation today and still wrong with the external powerpoints... ?????

On the other side, cannot get hold of my solicator either... very disappointed too, i am waiting for her advise regarding the contract, since there is only 5 days cooling off period (tomorrow is the day).. she said she will get back to me this morning, but not... called her again, she said she would give me a call tonight around 7.30pm, but i still have not received a call from her (is 10pm already)... i wonder will she call me if i don't pay her...

This morning the solicator from the land developer has called me asking for a transfer of land (if i have signed or not)... i have not seen it at all.. they said they cannot get hold of my solicator either... i am very worried now, should i change the other one?  

The only good thing is, i am looking at land title the end of the month... woooo... hope it is true...

Tomorrow will need to meet the bank manager regarding the building loan, hope that everything is going to be fine... i am very stress already, especially my DH is not giving me much help, i have to handle everything myself... i am tired..

Hope i just hope that the building process will be smoother after all these mess...
