Week 2: Money, money, money

Two weeks in already!  Going by how busy we've been, I can definitely see this project competely consuming my life for the next 12 months or so. 
Part of the reason I started this blog was to keep track of all the different decisions and ideas as we go, and keep myself focussed on what needs to be done next, and not spending all my time thinking about things that I don't need to worry about for months.  The problem is that the one big decision that is facing us at the moment - which house to build - all comes down to one great big question: how much?  And that means trying to figure out all the extra costs that will come into play when we eventually make those decisions 6 months down the track.  Which just has me going around in circles!

What We've Done:
Found a conveyancer to sort out settlement of the property
Paid deposit on property purchase
Finalised home loan from bank - signed mortgage and home loan documents
Met with P from Simonds to discuss first steps, and what deals they have

What We Need To Do Next:
Sign documents for conveyancer
Figure out ballpark figures of 'additional' costs
Find out if the bank will lend us the figure we have in mind
Visit display home for kitchen ideas
Get quotes for demolition/removal of existing house
