Spectra

Booked a 'Sneek Peek Night' at Spectra on the 16th June.




I thought this was a really good idea especially if you are not sure if you want to build with Carlisle as it gives you an idea of what they offer. They have these on regularly, just visit their website for more details.
Upon arrival we had light refreshments, tea & coffee. First we had an intro about Carlisle & Spectra & then they took us around each display.
We were given a chance then to wander around ourselves, took some photos.

We ended up being kicked out just after 8pm, we were having such a good time looking at everything that we didn't see everything & we lost track of the time.
Decided we had to go in again to look at all the things we missed.
Since then we have been back once on our own & also to our colour browse appointment on the 12th July.
That was not the best experience, had a Spectra person walk around with us & tell us what was included & what was not. The girl was fairly new & pretty much had no idea about products, pricing or even the current promotion.
I think we did better on our own & knew more than she did.
We ended up coming in earlier again on this day so we could see a few more things we wanted to check out.
I believe spending all this time at Spectra will help us at selection day & will be less stressful. Were doing all our homework in advance & have plenty of time between now & selection day to change & find out about any other upgrades.

Deposit...

Paid our carlisle deposit on the 7/6/2014 of $1000 so we really have signed our life away.

Choosing our house....

Looked at a few displays and we really liked what Carlisle had to offer. Our current home we built was with Henley (Northridge) 14 years ago so we also went to see what they had on offer. Liked Henley a lot but we thought Carlisle was much more affordable & at the moment they have such a good offer for their 10 year celebrations......so many upgrades.
So decided on Carlisle & went looking at more displays to get an idea of a floorplan. Most of the floorplans we liked were in the western suburbs. Really liked  'THE BELLEVUE' but once we had a look at the display it really wasn't suitable for us but then we saw 'THE ADDISON 26 MK 2'
& we fell in love!
Here is a photo we took of the display in Craigieburn with the Oakley facade.



I'm so glad we went to look at the actual display & not just buy off the plan. We were told by one of
the consultants that most people don't even see the display they just go off the floorplan....find that a
 bit hard to believe.




  Here are some photos from the actual display house that are on the Carlisle website.
