I thought we get it once construction completes as well but our conveyancer submitted it after settlement and it came through within a week or two. Can you please let me know if you it's really meant to be $5 to $7k cos I'm not sure why we got back so less.....Thanks Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 284Aug 21, 2012 10:45 am MiKu Hi, Received the Principle Place of Residence (PPR) exemption today for the State Revenu Office today. I was expecting it to be more. Has anyone else received theirs? Our conveyancer organised it for us but the conveyancer didn't seem to have her finger on the pulse, so to speak. Craig and Mika Hey MiKu, did you guys get back around $2k as well or more? Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 285Aug 21, 2012 11:37 am phew! just checked with the SRO, the $2 we've been refunded is for the PPR only. We'll have to apply for a refund once our FHOG is approved for the 'reduction of duty for first home buyers' which is the 20% discount. Didn't realise we had to do that, luckily you brought up the PPR MiKu otherwise, we would've missed out on our refund of $2.5K! Thanks MiKu!!! Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 286Aug 21, 2012 8:37 pm [/quote] Hey MiKu, did you guys get back around $2k as well or more?[/quote] We got just over $2K too. The difference between the amount we paid and the amount we were supposed to pay according to the SRO land duty calculator was $3K. I'm going to query this with the conveyancer. Craig and Mika Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 287Aug 22, 2012 10:02 am claythil Hey everyone, we have been away for a little while and are pleased to say our site start is booked for next Tuesday. We are so excited and cant wait there is so much progress in the street already. cheers Clay and Thil Congratulations Clay and Thil!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jen06 Happy to report my little stress out from the past few days is over, SS called us, was already in the process of booking contractors for fix ups he believed needed done and asked us for the report, within hours of us even receiving it He seems very on the ball, so pleased! With the site report, all we had to do was email it to out contact at the office and they will notify the SS the 'fix-ups' listed in the report. We then received a couples of letters after that, one to say that they will fix them, and another saying that they've completed all the fix-ups. Mike and Jen Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 288Aug 22, 2012 10:08 am Did you wait until after the completed letter to pay the invoice? I havnt paid the Frame one yet, just the base (which took a while for the bank to get organised anyway) Still waiting for our FHOG even though the remainder has been drawn on the loan, is that normal? :s Anyone know when the stamp duty rebate is actually paid? We completed the PPR forms when we applied for the grant, were only eligable for the reduction not the ppr though Building the Carlisle Sienna 31 at Somerfield Lot 1550 Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 289Aug 22, 2012 10:26 am Jen06 Did you wait until after the completed letter to pay the invoice? I havnt paid the Frame one yet, just the base (which took a while for the bank to get organised anyway) We didn't get billed for the frame until after they fixed everything up. Might be best to query it with your contact in the office, they might grant you an extension until they've completed all fix-ups. Sorry we could be of more help Mike and Jen Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 290Aug 22, 2012 1:05 pm Hi All, we pencilled in a Barby for Sunday 9th September, and its looking pretty cool over there now.... How are we looking for numbers for this, is it still a go? Otherwise the following Sunday 16th is fine for us also. Perhaps anyone who is on the Somerfield facebook (im not on FB) can do a reminder too. Jen how were you looking for the 9th, is Dan playing footie? Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 293Aug 22, 2012 2:12 pm 9th is great for us. I will post again on fbook. If you do not know your next door neighbours yet and they are not on the forum you can request neighbour information for fencing purpose via Greater Dandenong council form is on their webpage. Hope that helps Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 295Aug 23, 2012 10:17 pm Hey guys, At what time is the barby on the 9th? Thanks. Re: Somerfield Keysborough Stage 15ers 297Aug 25, 2012 7:12 pm Hey Sherro, 12.30 sounds good...I will need to leave a bit earlier though. Would be nice to meet you guys.
