Hey - can someone let me know what documents comprise ‘Property Service Information’. This is required for the builder admin to have the plans engineered. So just wanted to know what all info I need to provide to the builder.
No idea, didn't have to provide on my last build. Maybe true north can help.
Btw has your land settled?
I did my first valuation with ANZ and it came about $70,000 under, so not really happy about it. Now they are trying a different valuer, lets see what cat they bring out of the bag. Stage 14, lot 1436.
- all the best with your next valuation.
Our land is going to settle end of this week. Looks like everything is in order and hopeful of no last minute surprises.
Good luck with it.
Yeah we did another valuation through a different agency, still ANZ and it came right on the money. So yeah one less thing to worry about now. Lol
Hi Guys,
Canopus No idea.. we didn't get that request from the builder.. yet. Not sure if they will request this in the future. Our drawings are in final drafting stage, site start has been communicated to be around the next 2-3 weeks.
Icheema Oh no! I hope your new valuation is better, hopefully with the market going a bit crazy now and house prices bouncing back. All the best!
- all the best with the site start and keep us updated with the progress. Are you planning on hiring an independent inspector?
And re the property information; it is sourced by the builder through an external agency.
Good luck with it.

Hey
canopus, No, just going with the building surveyor allocated by Simonds.. should I? Will you be hiring a private inspector?

Hi
Dui2705 - The building surveyor is different to the inspector. I am also going with the surveyor appointment by the builder. The inspector provides inspection services to check if all works have been done upto the standards. As a first time builder, I think I will go with a private inspector just for peace of mind that all works done are not sub-standard.
Has anyone received the soil test reports with the soil classification?
Has anyone received the soil test reports with the soil classification?
Yes mine was classified H2 and hence slab upgrade etc but luckily I had a fixed costs agreement with Porter Davis so not paying anything extra.
Lot 1436.

H2 for us as well and fixed site costs so no extra $$$ to spend. Can’t wait for the construction to start.

Good luck with the build. I went to the site a couple of days ago and a lot of houses are already popping up. The work on that Woolworths thingy has also started.
Hi Guys,
I'm from stage 15, have some questions about the valuation.
icheema when you mention a different agency is that means a different broker?
Has anyone done the land valuation recently?
15 ETA title in December but I'm very worried about the land valuation gonna drag me down.
Thanks in advance
Hi,

Hi Jeff, I replied you yesterday but looks like it didn’t work.
So I went through Anz mobile lenders, they are kind of brokers but only deal with ANZ.
First he used one valuation company which priced 70k down, then he went to do a valuation with another company on panel of ANZ and they came on the money.
Also the loan was approved in 4 days.
Send me a private message if you would like a referral to the mobile lender, he is pretty good with these things.

Hi Snow,
Same, my lot is 1436.
They don’t have SOC yet but hoping to come any day. Then a week or two for titles and then 10 days for settlement.
Hi cheema,
Thank you for your response. Yes just hoping there are no longer more delays that's all. Mid October is almost over now. Let's see.
Thank you

Hello all,
Just wanted to check if the gas lines are all installed? The builder advised us that the gas lines are not in place for stage 13.
