what is/was your new home wishlist?
 

We all think about the fabbie stuff that we will get or want to get when we finally buy the dream oz home - pool,games room, home cinema, trampoline, etc but is there anything that you wish you hadnt bothered with or that you completely overlooked and wish you'd got-oh no, we wouldn't want central heating AND aircon? :rolleyes: what was your biggest mistake ( yeah yeah apart from not coming out years ago) and your best investment....

Re: what is/was your new home wishlist?
 

not there yet but will deffo invest in the best central heating/air con we can get. :D

Re: what is/was your new home wishlist?
 

My lot wished for a pool and got one, but ours came with a smaller than expected house to be honest, no aircon and tatty kitchen, saying that we live in the best area we can afford, so a compromise was called for. Just got the aircon sorted and getting a new kitchen tomorrow so all in all house of our dreams really :D

Only buying one house :D
The house I did buy :D

Re: what is/was your new home wishlist?
 

Best investment... my house crap house, great area:)

Biggest mistake.... buying one brand new car for the money we spend we should have got 2 :rolleyes:
Also not writing more terms on the offer of the house cos that offer then becomes your contract (here in Vic anyways) eg, the pool should have been kept running and not allowed to go green and mouldy cos the owners are too tight to run the pump for a few hours a day etc:rolleyes:

As for the heating... got it last week could be second on best investment list:D

Air con will be coming in spring..... so ermm you may need both depending on where your headed:)

*Wishlist* Work Essential
*Laserlight on the pergola - currently stripped down to structural beams and being painted. Existing deck will then be protected.
*New gutters
*Lick of paint all over deck and pool, everywhere
*New Ensuite ie fittings and tiles. 2nd bathroom could be modernised but not essential

Wood shed(?) for next winter

Nice to have
New window frames, we've also been told that double glazing may not be appropriate or even needed. Hydronic heating maybe.

Eventually
Ride on mower and trailer
Clear more land for use

Why not appropriate :confused:

Re: what is/was your new home wishlist?
 

Okay, now you've got me started :D We currently live in a very small one bed flat with no garden, parking etc. So my wish list is:

* No neighbours directly under us, directly adjoining us or diectly over us - I hate hearing other people closing their internal doors and slamming the main front door.
* A separate driveway
* A garage - hopefully a double
* A garden
* A shed
* 3 bedrooms (maybe four!)
* A nice sized kitchen
* 2 separate lving areas

That's not to much to ask is it, given that we both work pretty damn hard :( I am so looking forward to November, bring on my new life :D

I can't wait also to have some typical aussie things like a laundry and a rumpus room!!

We've been told its just not necessary in all homes by a window expert - who has an interest in selling us windows... Don't know why.

Would like a bird aviary. The House has to with stand wild life, due to my missus wanting to be come a wild life rescuer. Would like it to be in peaceful neighbour hood. Its got to have at At least 4 car garage.

Just a comfortable home in a nice area that I don't have to contribute my entire months salary in upkeeping!

Re: what is/was your new home wishlist?
 

At mo we have a 3 bed terrace with not alot of storage space. My wish is for more space a 4th bedroom would be nice. My biggest wish would be to have a pool and enough acreage to have the horse at home instead of having to pay livery costs.

Oh and to have a beach just a walk away ...

I know, I know better start saving :D

Re: what is/was your new home wishlist?
 

:) i wish for all my daughters to have their own room.
Impossible if we stay in the uk.

Re: what is/was your new home wishlist?
 

My wish is to have an en-suite bathroom and a combi heater. I have three children, it is a wonder if I can get into the bathroom for a start, and if there is any hot water left for me to have a shower in the morning that is a miracle!

I don't ask for much really. :)
