It's actually the Killara 23, he's on a smaller block but I think the Killara 24 is being built next door, or possibly it's the 28 next to us. He's Lot 1267. =) He didn't change anything with the Killara 23, are you building the 24 or 28?

Across the road neighbours!! That's great. There'll be a little community of Clarendon Killara range home owners in that area. The Killara 28 is an amazing design, congratulations - it shall look awesome! Re: Building at Willowdale 252May 14, 2014 3:40 pm @SarahRust - Thanks and to you too!! What facade are you going with? I've made a few changes to my facade..! APS Re: Building at Willowdale 253May 14, 2014 4:52 pm raskar RonyMay So you pay 1k and you could end up with nothing? Gosh they did not tell me that at the sale centre Hi RonyMay, The process blackenator outlined has changed, in relation to deposit. We bought land just last release (last month) and this was the process:
When land is released you will receive an email with the details - pricing, plan etc. and also a time when you have to go online and register for an appointment. This is usually a Sunday night at 8pm (scheduled a week or two after you get the email). You will be provided with the password needed as well When the Sunday night comes around, you will have your email open hitting refresh a million times! When you get the email, there is a link you click. You then enter your password and hit submit. If you are successful, you will receive a call advising you of a sales appointment usually within the next few days. You need to give details of a solicitor/conveyancer over the phone for the contract. If you don't hear anything you will get an unsuccessful email soon after and have to try again next time. Once you secure an appointment, prioritise the blocks you are interested in. Go to the sales office at your allocated appointment time. There will be a big map of the release and they will red dot the blocks as they sell. You choose your block and pay a $1000 deposit. Appointments are 15 minutes and run the whole day usually, so the earlier the better. We had an 11.15am appointment and got our 3rd or 4th preference. The land contract is then passed onto your solicitor and you need to meet with them within two weeks to sign the contract, then forward remaining deposit of $9000 to Stockland Then you just have to wait for your land to be registered. Each release will have an approximate registration time i.e. ours is Jan -March 2015 Also, apparently if you miss out on your size, you get preference in next release. I don't know full details of this though, so best to check with the sales office. Thank you so much for your detailed reply!

I have the Foxley 27 Corner Variation...lots of living spaces & storage - hopefully will be popular with tenants http://edenbraehomes.com.au/a/303.html What other designs are you guys building..? Re: Building at Willowdale 256May 16, 2014 12:36 pm Hi All, My partner and I got a block on the 2nd release (Clearwing) . Just wondering if anyone else is on Baden Powell Av. Re: Building at Willowdale 258May 18, 2014 7:19 am Looks like a roomy & inviting home - do you mind if I ask who your builder is..? Going custom: did you 'start from scratch' based on your block, or did your builder offer basic formats for you to customise? ☺️ Re: Building at Willowdale 259May 18, 2014 10:24 am That $1000 is to deter time wasters.
