Planning permission granted

We had a pleasant surprise on 11th April, as our planning permission had arrived. This was quicker than expected (just under 2 months) as we guessed it would take about 3 months to come. Finally we could get the ball rolling towards starting to build the house. We arranged to sign our final contracts on 30th April. There were a few things to sort out before then, like paying various fee's and deposits to Ryde council. Also making sure we were completely happy with what we had chosen for the house as now was the time to make any adjustments.

We were also told by Allcastle that once the contracts were signed, we had 30 days to clear the site. So we thought it might be good idea to start looking for somewhere to rent whilst the house was being built. This is something thats a lot more easier said than done, due to the cronic shortage of rental propertys in Sydney.
