Really happy for you that you have a slab and it has all started. We are building a modified Barcelona I love the kitchen and alfresco that is why we picked the house. Hopefully we will get started soon The fence is meant to come down soon not sure if it has yet ? Does anybody know that is living there ? We will have to drive there on the weekend to see ... Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 650Sep 15, 2014 11:50 pm Hi, long time watching this board. We are also waiting on 7C1A, roads look done i guess we are just waiting on footpaths and parks? The survey pegs for our block were all done last time we went down a week ago and our builder has been able to get a soil test done. Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 651Sep 16, 2014 11:31 am Hi nettlebeck We just want to get started , can't wait much longer lol Yes pegs were all done when we last visited Park is being done now . Who are you building with ? When we were there a soil test was getting done and we drove around the roads Hope when it's done they open a spot to get to the train station too . Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 652Sep 16, 2014 9:58 pm We are building a glendale 38 from metricon. Hoping for a little bit of a view over the top of everything to the river/hills We were originally waiting for seaford heights but that kept being pushed back and back - first told may, then in may told august, then in august told late november - i will be suprised if it releases before 2015. We were lucky and found a "sold" block change back to available one night, grabbed it quickly the next morning and got the ball rolling. So our start is probably a bit later than most i would guess. Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 653Sep 17, 2014 8:52 am Realty SA changes the blocks from on hold to available a lot I have noticed cause I check it all the time . Luck to get one someone changed their mind maybe, If you get a hills view the hills look nice Don't think we will , but it will be still be nice Good luck with your build . Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 654Sep 19, 2014 7:17 am Got a letter today Few more weeks to wait Getting closer though Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 655Oct 29, 2014 8:51 pm Hi, my wife and I just stumbled onto this forum. It's great seeing the frustrations and success everyone is going through and the other experiences. We have just purchased and are building on Simcoe avenue. Finally had the conveyancer confirmation today that settlement will be tomorrow. Very exciting and feeling like things are happening, only we know we will now be delayed ages in council which sours things a little! Wish realty as were more efficient and or truthful in regards to settlement dates and things, were only about 6 weeks behind which seems good compared to other stories ive read on here tonight! Annoying thing is with the delay it looks like we will be paying mortgage on the land over the Christmas break and things won't actually be starting until at least end of jan if were lucky. I guess it just depends on how long it takes through council, how long have other people had to wait for council approval? They have had our plans for around 2.5 months but not been able to do anything without title deeds which were held up by reality sa. We're building with fairmont on a custom build and have final selections at supreme on Saturday. The whole process so far has been ups and downs and I can only imagine more of the same over the next 6plus months. Hopefully it all goes well though! Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 656Oct 30, 2014 7:49 am The Slaters We are still here waiting for the land to title everything else is done.. it was sept15, now end of sep start of oct 7C1A Hurry up!!! Have you heard from your conveyancer about settlement yet? We are also in 7C1A and have settlement today. Our mobile bank lender had to keep pushing the conveyancer for settlement, I think if it were up to them they may have been content to wait until nov 7. After all the delays so far it's been frustrating. Still reading other members issues with land they have waited far longer past original estimations. The problem I had with the whole thing was lack of transparency and honesty from realty sa. The reason it wasn't in sept. Was because info was initially submitted incorrectly or missing information to the land titles office in August and wasn't re submitted until September 9th. I only know this because I got conflicting info from realty sa and decided to go straight to the source and call they land titles office myself to eft a status update. Yet if realty sa just told me that to begin with I would have understood and not get so angry with them. Honesty seems to be majorly lacking in the building industry. Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 657Nov 01, 2014 7:21 pm Hi Jonooo Yes we have land settlement this Friday 7th Nov We didn't get a choice really but that's ok , it is finally happening now We had a call Friday from fairmont saying we had council approval Still need full development approval that will still take a few weeks . Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 658Nov 01, 2014 7:24 pm All the lots near us on Rothwell are nearly approved too Go to the Onkaparinga Council Website You can track your application With the no I did address search to do it and you can watch your house approval go through the stages. Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 659Nov 01, 2014 7:34 pm Yup, we are in the same boat now as well. Settled on Thursday on the land, had our final kitchen selections this morning and been buying some furniture and other bits and pieces this afternoon. I called the council Friday and they said we have council development approval pending the final bits Fairmont needs to do but the council lady was very confident that Fairmont are very quick at that part of the process and said they normally get that done within 2 weeks and then its 5 more days at council before they give final approval for building. Have you sent off that paperwork to your neighbour to get the permission to build on their boundary (if your doing that?) We sent the paperwork off to our neighbour around 6 – 7 weeks ago and not even heard back from them yet. Not sure what to do or if we need to keep chasing up seeing as it's part of the encumbrance that we're allowed to build our garage on the boundary if we'd like too. Re: South @ Seaford Meadows 660Nov 01, 2014 7:59 pm Have you had your final builders interview? That's when they check all of the paperwork We sent off the boundary build form to the neighbours ages ago they sent it back to fairmont , All ok Well these guys are not looking good... I sent them a written enquiry last week and they have not yet replied.
