The search for a house

Our quest to find the perfect home started around 2 years ago, I would search endlessly at different display home locations with my then 4 year old and 10 year old in tow. Master 4 would love looking at all the different houses and squealing in delight at the chance that this could be his bedroom. Miss ten's enthusiasm wore off after the third or fourth house! By the time master four turned into master 6 he was happy to have the cupboard under the stairs"just like Harry Potter".

So after all this research it was time to bring the Husband along to view and discuss the houses that I had come up with from my very extensive research. Ok it didn't start off real well as I realised we had slightly different Ideas but then I took him to "Another builder" display and he liked it! we both like it! Happy days.
Time to bring in the family for a look asked lots of questions Decision made, or so we thought unfortunately not!
so we paid the initial deposit for a tender all good and we are excited!

Lets just say it didn't work out, I can say that their communication was poor between the sales and who ever was doing the tender! I would have expected it to be that lacking if it had of been a free one, but we paid for it! Then the guy presenting the tender said "sign it anyway! our prices are about to go up" ok maybe we were expecting too much we are happy to accept that but their customer service was very disappointing to say the least and that not feeling right about it would not go away! so alas we started looking again!

Off we went this time to Gregory hills, we looked at the few they had there and my hubby says lets look at those ones pointing to the Mcdonald jones display homes, I was like "we can if you want, but it's a steel frame I doubt that we can afford it!" so off we toddled to walk through the Milano 4 first and WOW, I LOVED IT! However didn't like where the kitchen was!

The following week we went to Fyfe rd at Kellyville Ridge, the Milano there is set up different and the kitchen is amazing we both liked it, decision made lets get a quote! we were happy with the free Tender which is 30,000 less than the "Other Builder" so have now paid a deposit for a formal tender, lets hope it doesn't change too much. Its a knockdown rebuild so may be a lot more involved! 2 weeks to wait until we get the tender ! EXCITED!!



Love This Kitchen!
