Finally the land is ours!!!

Very big day today. Finally after many months the land is ours! Very exciting!!!

There has been a few developments on the building front as well. After I replied to the email from Wisdom with the increased tender we have now someone new looking after us. He looked over our plans and suggested some changes he thinks we should make. It was nice to have a fresh set of eyes looking at them and the changes he proposed made sense. Nothing can make up for the poor communication in the beginning but hopefully things will start moving now. Hopefully we will get a revised plan and Tender (mark 3) this week.

Tender mysteriously increases

This house building is a real rollacoaster! After the goods news of the land being registered yesterday, today we received from Wisdom with a revised tender attached. No explanation but tender has gone up $3k. 

We are a bit frustrated (understatement) and have decided to sleep on it before sending a reply tomorrow.

After over 4 long months since we paid the deposit on our land, we got word today that it is finally registered. Solicitor said settlement will be in 2 weeks! Very exciting!
