Hi Jojac, We're looking at the area and Elante seem to be selling land around the same size in different areas of Box Hill, just wondering what sort of homes Elante are offering for blocks that size? Single or double storey? I've been struggling to get in touch with their team. Hope the build is go...

Hi Hman12, I believe they do either single or double, we got double for a 330sqm block. You may want to contact Sumit (...

Hi All We bought land from the developer off the plan. In the land registry I can see the DP status as registered folios created. Also in the land registry when I check the certificate of title for the lot it shows status as NOT IN NSWLRS - DELIEVRED. AND and delivered to INFOTRACK PTY LTD. who are...

Hi Abmar, Congratulations on the land registration! This was us a month ago! You should get a formal advised from your ...

Hi Simeon, Thanks so much for your response.. Yeah understand it’s hard without details.. but just a general, I guess I was more wondering why this wasn’t specified as an easement in our land contract 88b instrument.. there is also a lintel in the kerb of the road.. it would have been better if the ...

Hi, We’ve just settled on our land which we’ve bought off the plan.. from the deposited plan there wasn’t any mention of any easement on our property, so a bit surprised to see that there is a manhole right infront where our driveway will be.. is this going to affect our building (setback requireme...

Appreciate your response.. civil works is looking good - considering they’ve just started mid-Aug.. it’s going pretty quick. There are almost roads and curbs already being laid out last weekend when we drove by the area.. so looks like doable to complete by December as the builder said. Hi Jojac, J...

Hi Jojac, Just following this with interest. We are thinking of purchasing with Elante Homes for house and land. I can ...

I would add a CSD door also to help give more room Hi Fore2, thank you! That’s very practical advise, and now thinking why we didn’t think of that!

Hi everyone, I was hoping if anyone here can help me imagine what this would look like? We have smallish laundry room (2.46 x 1.62m) part of which will be under the incline of the stairs. See attached - builder will extend 500mm more at no cost which is not updated in this plan yet. We thought about...

Hi Annie, Firstly - to your extension, what state are you in? What you’ve done sounds very normal. You can’t get the build loan approved without plans and a build contract (with only a couple of exceptions where they’ll use tender depending on state). Typically I do: Land loan fully approved Preapp...

Hi Rachylou, Can’t say much really because as you’ve said we are also pretty new in the process. Waiting for advise on the latest estimates on land registration as we’re following the DA approval in the Hills Shire council and the modified DA has only been approved early June. So more likely on trac...
