Hi all, has anyone received their land contract . My solicitor is saying it will take another 2-3 weeks.

Hi Phil, did you have to order the Sec 149 & 88g certificates from the council?? My builder just asked for these.

I havent got the bush fire report yet but I hope its not BAl 29

Lot 115

Good luck with the build . I am still in the contract stage so guessing still 2-3 months before our build starts. We are building a 2 storey with Metricon.

Thanks for the update. I will let my builder know about this.
Also, when is the settlement happening for your lots. Mine was scheduled for 22nd but now has been cancelled.…

Thx for the update. So perhaps the $10k is a reasonable allowance.

I too just got a call but settlement date is 22nd May for us.

Thanks for the update. What is the process from now? When do we get the communication from the vendor?

Great news. Did you get the update from your solicitor? I haven't heard from mine yet.

It is quite highly priced but no idea on why its being sold. Possiblly could be an investor making a profit. It is currently advertised on realestate.com.au.

He is re-selling the lot. Its going for sale between $650-$670k.

My solicitor received official communication yesterday from the vendor solicitor that the plan has been lodged and allocated plan number is DP1172966. It could take between 2-4 weeks from now.

Hopefully it's very soon. I had driven to the site last weekend and happened to meet Emanuelle there. He too mentioned that it should be ready in 2-4 weeks time.…

Thanks for the update.
