I am interested in a piece of land in Eltham, Victoria. It is slightly on a slope. What do I need to find out before buying the land? ie - which builders build in this area? how do i find this out? - can it be built on this slope. - anything else that you can recommend. thank you Hank Re: What do I need to do before buying land? 2Sep 03, 2007 2:42 pm Have you chosen your home plan yet? It’s best to have SOME idea about what you have in mind to build.
I would start with finding a builder in the area of Eltham…….or many, and ask them weather they build on blocks that slop. You will find all the builders you need in the Yellow Pages, buy one for Melbourne at the post office. You will need to know the drop in the land fall, this will help the builder to decide if it’s too steep for them or is OK to build on, and also what prep will need to be done to build your style of home on that block.

Try www.lpwarrenhomes.com.au Their ads say they specialise in sloping blocks, and they are based near Eltham too Eimaj Re: What do I need to do before buying land? 6Sep 04, 2007 8:12 pm Choose the block before you choose the home design. It is easier to find a design that suits the block than to find a block that suits the design.

We were quoted approx $10 - 12,000 per sq to build. We have been in Eltham nearly a year now, and we have now bought some land and will be building soon about 15 minutes drive out of Eltham in a suburb called Doreen. We have chosen our builder and hope to be signing our contract over the coming week. Let me know if you want anymore information. Simon Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum. Place is full of wierdos/pedos thought internet may help but I suppose I'll try my luck with someone in person. Cheers.
