hi there we are newbies to this site- its great!
We purchased a block of land (contract not through yet) as we made the contract of sale subject to soil test! and WHOA glad we did that!
It is a new estate and we have absolutley fallen in love with it. However the guy that did our soil test has recommended not to go ahead with purchase. Classified it as a "P " site (yet to find out exactly why) but we know there is slope and fill (over 2 metres in one bore hole) -and big block 1000sqm. The block is more suited to build with stumps he suggested- but we cannot afford builders who do this. we were just going with a slab and a volume builder.
The Real Estate will let us pick another block, what is best? A block with more slope- less fill? Flat block more fill?
As most people are - we too - are wanting to keep our site cost down- we just love the estate
Some of the sites in the estate were M class- but it seems hit n miss!
Its in Yarra Junction- Near Warburton
Any advise would be great?
Thanks L& M
