Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 27, 2008 8:04 pm Just had a variation appointment with PD. The sales rep told us that after speaking to Villawood it looks like our land may title Feb/Mar rather than May as originally told.
Has anyone else had this happen? Is it common? Re: Has anyones land titled early? 2May 27, 2008 9:46 pm Coming from someone who works in the development industry.
VERY RARELY! (if ever) The amount of work involved in getting land to titling ensures that early land titles are near impossible. I would highly doubt you would get them early, but they may have given you a conservative estimate then delivered on time. Re: Has anyones land titled early? 3May 28, 2008 2:29 pm I agree with HomeReview.
When we bought the land last year, the builder told us that we will get it on Jun or earlier than Jun. Last month, we received the news letter that we might get it on April / May. We were so excited. When the time is getting closer, we did not received any news from them. We sent another email to ask about the issue. We were informed that we will get it on 1st / 2nd week of Jun. I hope they won't change again as our site start is Jun. *fingers cross' Re: Has anyones land titled early? 4May 28, 2008 2:58 pm I thought it sounded unlikely.
In order to get a Defence home buyers subsidy we cannot sign the contract to build more than 12 months before we move in. I have delayed contract signing til December. Our sales rep said he would ring Villawood in November and see if the land was going to title early hence meaning we can sign early. Now I think I will just leave it til December to be certain Re: Has anyones land titled early? 6May 28, 2008 10:10 pm penny73 Just had a variation appointment with PD. Hi Penny What is a variation appointment ? We are also building with PD but never had a variation appointment despite already having 5 variation after contract and we have not even started building. Cheers Re: Has anyones land titled early? 8May 30, 2008 1:54 pm How did you manage to book site start? Didn't you need a soil test before proceeding with final tender, contracts etc?
H3nley are making us wait until Title before they can get on to do the soil test, and proceed with the next tender phase. E. mikeval I agree with HomeReview.

Once they can get the site cost then we will do the contract.
Things are on hold at the moment however we went to the variation appointment and as we were getting ready to sign everything an email came through apparently the director is no longer happy at locking in the price til May. IT was previously approved through the sales manager and that is when we paid our $600 lock in fee (which now appears to have locked in nothing ) it isnt our sales reps fault as he did get approval and I dont understand this backflip by the director. We are waiting to hear back from the director but seriously thinking of pulling the pin if they wont back their original guarantee. Has anyone had this happen? Ahh I supposed this is part of the fun and games of building. I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15284 4 14306 Thank you so much. This has been very helpful. We definitely wish to settle and get these people out of our life. They are trying to charge us interest on late… 7 14278 |
