On the financing front:
Today we sent off to the broker the details they required for the loan and FHOG. The said that the bank releases the Letter to Commence Construction within 5 business days and today is the 5th day.
On the construction side, we are waiting for the details for the kitchen.. excited to see the plans we wanted... anxious too because we don't have an idea how much it would cost. Carla did mention that this should not delay anything on their part as long as they get the letter from the Bank.
we call it Tahanan, a filipino word that means a house or home. A place to be at ease and feel the love of the family. Tahanan comes from the root word 'tahan' which means cessation of the crying or abolition of grief. It is said that your sadness goes away when you are in your own home.

our broker sent an email at 9pm saying that she'll resolve the interest rate difference... 0.1% is still a different rate than what was agreed... thanks for checking on that.
ReplyDeletebut where is the letter?
