Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Somerfield Estate Keysborough 1187Dec 19, 2010 10:17 am Drove around 1J yesterday and I could not believe my eyes there are about 6 homes started already, 4 in Newstead and 1 in Hartwell. They look like they are all going to be Simmonds homes, they must have an approval from the DAP for the entire estate.

They look like they are all going to be Simmonds homes, they must have an approval from the DAP for the entire estate. We can't believe my eyes either. My next door neighbour's temp fence and toilet are there. Too fast!!! Re: Somerfield Estate Keysborough 1189Dec 19, 2010 9:29 pm ginz88 guagua77 ginz88 Ohhh you guys are gonna here my rant!!! I am suppose to settle today but my conveyancer just rang me and said the banks won't accept my mortgage docs because the signature is a little different from the transfer of land docs. I signed both docs ages ago and they decide to let me know now on my settlement day so they can charge me late fees. Bloody angry I'll tell ya!!!!! This is really bad! How long will it take you to resolve it? The penalty isn't a small amount as I know. The bank has to get the mortgage docs again for me to sign, so only around 3 days. Im not sure how much will it cost me but no more then a couple of hundred me thinks. Just the fact that the bank didnt let me know earlier is dissapointing. On a different note, does anyone know anything about the driveway regulations? My builder just made it plain concrete, but i went to the estate today and all driveways have atleast 2 finishes. Thankyou. Hello , yes you are right the driveways are called semi permable where it must contain some kind off partition to allow water to run off them ??? I know it doesnt make sense..

Re: Somerfield Estate Keysborough 1200Jan 04, 2011 11:15 am guagua77 We drove over our land today and found our neighbor's temp fence is on our land. A bit concerned... Has anyone come across this problem? i dont think it's anything to worry about. i am sure it will all get properly rearranged once you start building and your temp fence is up. its been quiet lately in the forums everyone on holidays i take it!
