Blog List add 655Aug 18, 2010 9:21 pm Hi Karry327 we bought our land in September 09, our DA was submitted to council November 09 & we didn't settle on the land until January 10. All we did was get a letter from our developer authorising us to lodge a DA as they were still the owners of the land and handed this over when we signed our contract with EBH. All work on our land was pretty much done at this stage so i am not sure if the registration progress was a bit further along? As dkp mentioned if council has not signed off on the subdivision then it really doesn't exist in their eyes. Good luck!

Blog List add 656Aug 22, 2010 12:40 am Hi Pondies can someone tell me. Do I need to take permission for driveway from blacktown council?.I believed that once you get construction certificate it includes driveway as well. I haven't started building yet since my plans are still at the council. please advise. thanks Re: The Ponds/ KVR- Anyone building this year? Blog List add 657Aug 22, 2010 12:34 pm noddy09 Hey thanks Chasey! We are out of council! so exciting how long does it take now before it starts? The Ponds is looking really good! Hi Noddy I also got the approval from BTCC. Now someone said we need to apply to BTCC for approval for construction of driveway once the house is built. Is it true????????? Do you know anything? Is Allworth service good for you so far? my quotation expire on 22nd. do you think they will charge me more now. thanks Re: The Ponds/ KVR- Anyone building this year? Blog List add 658Aug 23, 2010 9:28 am Is anyone here close to finishing their build or finished their build? We are meant to have handover next Tuesday, but its unclear as to whether we can move in straight away. Does anyone know of any final requirements before moving in? i.e. do we have to have the landscaping completed in order to move in? (we were hoping to do the landscaping after we have moved) thanks Wendy Re: The Ponds/ KVR- Anyone building this year? Blog List add 659Aug 23, 2010 2:50 pm Got a Mail from my Consulatant that Ponds has approved our plans.It took 2 weeks 2 days to get an approval. My New eagle Home Consulatant is super fast she said she has done the paper work for Council and going to express post soon... Ta, reddyva Re: The Ponds/ KVR- Anyone building this year?

(we were hoping to do the landscaping after we have moved) thanks Wendy Hi Wendy, It's another thing on the building industry "forgot to tell you about" list. Occupation Certs. I belive there is some difference from council to council and as a lot are given by private certifiers they can vary. But broadly there are two types. Interim and Final. The cheaper option is to get a final straight away but like you mentioned this usually includes stuff like turf and driveways. I belive (and happy to be corrected or clarified) that the interim essentially only covers the structure and how sound it is, so you don't have to have all of the cosmetics done. Your builder should be able to tell you who they use to certify and what their requirements are for Interim and Final. The other big thing to note is that most banks and financial insistitutions won't release the final payment till you have a Occ. Cert. I'd say if you want to move in shortly after hand over it would be good to get it orgainised early as it can take 2-3weeks- I'm told. (again varies) Unless it's included in your building contract be ready with around $300-500 for the privilage of moving into your home for an Occ. Cert. Your builder MAY already have the ball rolling. Best to check though. As you probably know, The Ponds would "like" you to have done the landscapeing within 2 years of moving in, so no biggie there. Hope it helps in case you did'nt know about it. 0 4982 Your house roof does not show rusting other than some surface rust on the flashings. In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 10209 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 24827 |
