it might take forever to build. paid deposit last June, and got titled in early Aug, settlement in Oct. however, prestart didnt start until late Jan. slab done in May. due to the shortage of brickies in WA I am still waiting for the brickies to laid my house. they said will start tomorrow, but who knows... might be another delay. it has been 4 months + since slab done to get a bricklayer.
the building supervisor to me that: I can gurantee you this house won't be finished by this year, it will be next March or April. but, i would say probably will be April..
You mentioned you paid nearly $30,000 for interest as you are building your own house? Known, you only need to pay the bank after they lend the money to you. Therefore, you do not need to pay the interest until the land settlement is completed.
