The land is the same size as my other block 512m2 but its 11000 cheaper. The right hand side has just put up a fence and the rear end has got a fence as well, as for the block itself the peg markings has been removed and there is no clear indication of the markings on the left hand side of the block. I spoke with the lady yesterday and she said measure 16 meters from the right hand side of the fence. Any advise of what i should do before signing any contract to secure the land. Re: Boundary survey shows neighbours are occupying our land 16Sep 10, 2014 9:26 am Have a look around near the fence, the exact boundary peg should be a metal pin/peg which is flush with/in the ground and could easily be covered with soil. It may well still be there but the timber marker may be removed. The metal pin is the boundary, not the timber stake. If there is nothing, when you go to build, your builder will want a boundary survey which can cost $800-1500 depending on what's required. Maybe negotiate with the person selling the land that you want them to re-survey it prior to you purchasing it. They would have surveyed it at some point previously if it is a sub division. Re: Boundary survey shows neighbours are occupying our land 17Sep 11, 2014 9:54 am Thanks Building the dream. I have contacted her and she will be in contact. Question: if a land is now ready to build is this good news for me on the other hand due to finance from the first buyer they lost the land and thats how it was offered to me because its around the same area I was looking at and its 11000 cheaper than my block. It could be just a matter of waiting for the builder right...the reason y im asking is that how would that apply to paying for the land. Cheers hope to hear from any advise/comments. I am looking at building in melton Penny royal thru homesolution by m#tr#con.... Re: Boundary survey shows neighbours are occupying our land 18Sep 11, 2014 9:58 am I'd suggest you speak to your bank or mortgage broker about how they would structure the loans and how the fist home buyers grant will apply.

Depending on the original surveyor, sometimes they will put a benchmark and/or pin in the top of the kerb. Stewie ask the surveyor for clarification would be the logical approach 1 20247 A survey must’ve completed by a certified surveyor.
