About to take the plunge...

Hello and welcome to our blog and thanks for sharing in the excitement, trials & tribulations of our attempt to fund and build our dream home.

A bit of background...

My wife and I have decided to build a new home with Henley Properties. Here is (very briefly) our experience until now (the setup and beginning of this blog).

I can tell you that we have mostly had a pretty decent experience. Our sales consultant from Craigieburn (Les) was terrific. He assisted us with all our queries (and we had a lot as we went through possibly building with 2 different 1 storey houses to finally settling on a 2 storey house), and helped us come to the best solutions given our land, costs, etc. Our Admin assistant who will see us through to the building stage has been OK. Only complaint is that she was a bit slow in responding to initial queries and requests (though to give the benefit of the doubt, this may not have been her fault as I'm sure she has a lot of customers, not just us). In the recent weeks leading up to our appointment on Monday, the 2nd of April, she's been quite good though.
