Hi All,

I've been told april or may titles, but I've also been told it might be in September too Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 3Jan 26, 2012 7:20 pm Erghh September, thats a long time away I have only heard May the last 2 times I have spoken to the Land Sales Office, I can understand a month or so delay but September seems forever away. We are going up there again this weekend, will have to speak to them about that again. Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 4Jan 29, 2012 8:52 am We went there yesterday and put a block on hold. The sales lady advised its April/May, but there can be delays, and I really hope there won't be for Woodlands Edge. Fingers crossed ! Delays are normal, I'm sure there is no estate that guarantee when the titles come through, they're only predictions. However, don't let it worry you too much (we are not too worried) as things look full steam ahead the guys were laying crush rock down for the main entrance in 35 degree heat ! Which block did you buy if you don't mind me asking? Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 5Jan 29, 2012 3:22 pm Thats funny, we were there yesterday also. I spoke to them about the Titles and was told if anything they are ahead of schedual. I did also notice the guys working which I thought would be horrible for them but hey if they are getting the job done then im not complaining. It seems like they have so much to do I cant imagine it being done by May but I think we will go up there from time to time to check it out. How did you find Rhonda, I have found her to be pretty helpful with all our crazy silly questions. Have you started looking at houses yet? Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 6Jan 31, 2012 9:34 pm We bought in woodlands edge back in November, just as stage 1B went on offer! So far we only been told to expect titles in April, fingers crossed because the builders are all set for late May, all part of a house and land package deal from the builder. Very happy to see ground being broken, I think it was December the machines rolled in, just in time for Christmas break! Hopefully all goes to plan! Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 7Feb 01, 2012 10:57 am Wow May start date, I think you will be the first one living there I was told last week they are ahead of schedule and they were working in the heat on the weekend so looks promising. Do you mind telling us who you are building with. There is so many builders, each offering different inclusions. We are finding it really difficult to find a design we like and then to make sure we get everything we want in the house. Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 8Feb 01, 2012 11:03 am We ended up with Simonds, several reasons. 1 - They had a design we liked, but we still changed it a little 2 - Fixed site costs, not our problem if they hit rock Ok two reasons, but mostly number 1, they have already told us if all is ready early they will start building earlier, but we shall see! Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 9Feb 02, 2012 11:04 am At this stage we are favouring Dennis though they dont have a fixed site cost however we are liking what we are seeing with their floor plans. I do like the idea of Fixed Site costs however we got a price for fixed site costs with another builder but it came back huge and basically they said well someone has to carry the cost if we hit rock so they increase the price incase but refund if they dont hit anything. I am sceptical of this as whats to say they wont say they hit rock. Anyways lots to consider I guess. I just so hope the land titles in May as we have been told! Fingers Crossed. Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 10Feb 02, 2012 7:56 pm My partner and I purchased a lot in stage 1a back in September. Ive been told by land sales that title is still due for April so fingers crossed !!! We have 3 other friends that have all purchased in the estate aswell, all building with Simonds. We are building the Stamford with Simonds and so far have been pritty happy with the service, already gone through our gallery and contracts.
Cant wait to see some more progress up at the estate....bring on the roads Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 12Feb 08, 2012 8:10 pm It looks like Simmonds is going to be busy with Woodlands Edge once land titles, there is a few people on here and when we were last at the land sales office there was another couple there who are also building with Simmonds. We are going with Dennis or Carlise at this stage Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 14Feb 18, 2012 8:00 pm Decided it was time to go for a drive up to the estate since its been a few weeks since we were last there and was very excited at the progress, they are currently in the middle of doing the retaining walls for those blocks on the hill. The roads are cut out too, the main road in is pretty obvious. Was very excited, we were able to work out where our block would be and even fought the mud piles to go and stand on it... not sure if that was allowed but we couldnt resist. Anyways looks like they are moving along nicely
Hmm could the expected May titlement actually happen.. sssshhh, I shouldnt jinx it! Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 16Feb 21, 2012 8:48 am Can I ask where you heard there was a delay of 1 month? When I was last there I was told they were actually ahead of schedule. We went up last weekend and the amount of work they have done in just the 2 weeks since we were there prior is really great. Anyways though, even if there is a 1 month delay it is pretty much nothing compared to some of the other horror stories others have posted on H1 regarding delays for the land to title. I think we could still count ourselves lucky if we only get a delay of 1 month. Although lets hope we dont get bad weather cos I guess that could delay it also. Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 17Feb 22, 2012 10:14 am We went out two weeks ago to have a squiz and to our surprise we were able to see (and stand on ) our block! I emailed Rhonda at land sales last week and was told that they are ahead of schedule and are looking to title in April for sure! Not to sure about people being told there are delays.......maybe thats in stage 1B (we have purchased in 1A). 1A looks like it is just about ready for the roads to be layed but they havent even started on 1B from what I could see. Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 18Feb 22, 2012 10:24 am Hi Kitkat 90, Im glad you have been told the same thing I have been told, April/May and no delays as yet. We stood on our block too, its so exciting. I agree about the roads looking close to being layed especially for 1A, it seems all cut out and ready. We are also in 1A Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 19Feb 22, 2012 8:42 pm True, 1a seems to be flying along and we are in 1b! Compared to the brother in law who had a 12 month delay 1 is not so bad, hoping I got some bad info! All rumors and hearsay until we actually get the title! Re: Woodlands Edge, Wallan 20Feb 23, 2012 12:34 pm Here's hoping 1B catches up to 1A quickly. On a seperate note, just heard a radio add for Woodlands Edge, apparently they are doing some sort of promotion where you dont need a deposit now to secure the land. This is interesting. Wish they had of had that on when we decided on our block, we could have had our deposit sitting in the bank earning us interest, oh well, cant have everything Hello everyone, After some suggestions and ideas about how to put a concrete path around the drop edge beam area on our new build. We are required to have a concrete path… 0 12872 |
