Good morning all,
Bought a house off the plans and it is due to be completed in June with handover late June.
Based on the fact that nothing will be in the house apart from the basic fitout I wanted to see if anyone had any advice or helpful tips on anything I could be doing 8-10 weeks in advance of moving in. The biggest issue is that although we have the plans no drawings have the dimensions added and we have been told that they do not give the dimensions out until after the snag list has been checked with the builder. This is 2 weeks before handover date so leaves us little time to organise flooring, carpets, tiles, beds, TV's, wifi, couches, garden etc etc.
The extended lead times for all home products and services is what concerns us most as some places are quoting 3-6 months for home items to be made & delivered, however leaving that aside is there anything that we should be taking note of now or things to check based on your similar experiences of moving into a new build? Currently we're expecting to just get a bed with plates and cutlery and an oven / hob to cook in with us adding as we go over the first few weeks & months.
Are we correct with this assumption?
Thanks in advance for any replies received.
