Just exchanged on a block in the Parkview Estate off Barry Road. Was told the land would be registered by August but doubt very much if it will be before the end of the year seeing that they have not even started the roads yet. Doesn't worry me too much just would like to know for timing of selling...

Hi Guys... a bit of good and not so good news for us. Good news is that if all goes well, we were advised that handover could be in 5 weeks' time. Not so good news... found out this morning that one of the sliding stacker doors at the rear was smashed! What we know stolen from inside are the built-i...

Hi Everyone This is about post settlement docs which clearly include council rates paid in full from July 1st 2012- June30th 2013. which would mean that developer should have paid the council rates post settlement since they were paid for. We have been getting these reminders notice to pay council ...

Same situation with us... our post settlement document also clearly listed that the pro-rata is based on the settlement...

Good to see more new neighbours here in the forum. Dave - I met your in law, who is also building with Alkira, the other week. I also met the owner of lot 217 - which is the other corner of Highbury Road and Bellerive Ave. We were all surprised to see our garage doors when we last visited Tuesday......

yeah we would have been ready to go, but our dropped garage has delayed things and they need to be redrawn. We also managed to convince the builder that our driveway could be a little steeper than they though (22% instead of 16%) so we can get back 2 courses of bricks cutting, and have a flatter bl...
