Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Oct 19, 2010 7:34 am Hi All, I have reserved (off the plan) a block of land in The Ponds (NW Sydney) area and planning to pay the 5% deposit in the next week. I would like to hear from the folks who bought lands in Ponds, was there a difference in the bank valuation and the Landcom selling price? If so what was the difference? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Servicelocator cheers, Servicelocator Re: The Ponds land valuations 2Oct 20, 2010 9:03 am Our valuation from the bank came back as being exactly the same as what we paid (october 2009). Our valuation from the council I think was $20k under, but was dated 2008? Hope that helps.

Cheers, Servicelocator cheers, Servicelocator Re: The Ponds land valuations 4Oct 22, 2010 6:43 am Just thought I'd let you know our valuation came in 40k less than what we paid. Our bank guy said it was unusual and tried to argue a better price, unfortunately to no avail. Ours was evaluated about 8 weeks ago Re: The Ponds land valuations 5Oct 25, 2010 7:36 am Hi, I managed to get a valuation done through the bank and they came up with a value $5000 less than the purchase prices stating that they have reduced the probable $5000 rebate from council, if completed the landscaping according to their rules. Any thoughts? Cheers, Servicelocator cheers, Servicelocator Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum.
