I think we would hit rego and settlement in MAY, keeping fingures crossed!!! Cheerio OB! Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 44Feb 13, 2016 11:51 am trimum I will try and get up there every couple of weeks or so to take a pic from the same position to track developments That is a good idea. And thanks so much for keeping all of us updated. Do you have a clue when would the strret lights be installed? Are they installed at the end? Cheerio OB! Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 47Feb 13, 2016 11:59 am trimum If anyone has a plot they want me to look for next time I'm there, let me know I will do what I can to get a photo for you. It's not all accessible though at the moment Thanks a bunch! So nice of you!! If you can take a pic looking down the lawler drive it would help us. We are at the other end of the street at the lawler drive, so a picture from the middle of the road would show the other end. No rush whenever possible. Thanks so much for the help! It would be good to have such helpful neighbours and residents like you living in the estate!! Cheerio OB! Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 48Feb 16, 2016 10:34 pm Hi All, Just joined the forum .... I'm also awaiting registration of HL package in 10 F (McCormick St)...anyone else there too -:) ? I am worried my tender expiry which is 30th June and with the long delays in settlement, if it's going to go past 30th June ... have you guys fixed your tender by paying extra $ ? Hi Trimum, thanks for the nice work on uploading pics ... Would you be so kind to post a pic of McCormick St too when you're out there next ? -:) Will save me my monthly round trip from Penrith to OP -:) Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 49Feb 16, 2016 10:39 pm Welcome mate! We all are waiting and paying extra dollars for the extension. When did you bought your package? Do you mind sharing size of the block and price your paying for you HL package? Cheerio OB! Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 50Feb 16, 2016 10:41 pm By asking you the info, i am just trying to analyse when do builders sell the HL packages. As we bought land in Jan 2015 and still waiting. Cheerio OB! Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 51Feb 16, 2016 11:32 pm hi there. 375 sqm. double storey. paying almost 700k with inclusions, etc. i put deposit in may 2015. how much would people pay a builder typically to hold the tender ? i think there was a clause on my HIA contract that ive to pay smthg like 500 dollars every fortnight if settlement goes past tender date ? have to double check .... is your similar too ? Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 52Feb 17, 2016 1:21 am Yes mate... Every builder charges differently. In most cases it all depends to how well you have negotiated with the builder. I have seen people paying upto $3k fortnightly for extensions. So i can clearly see you got a great deal! Lets keep in touch on the forum as we are all going to live in the eatate together! Cheerio OB! Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 53Feb 17, 2016 5:25 am We negotiated with our builder Sekisui last year as we signed and we're hoping to register in October last year wh I didn't happen, we decided to pull out of the contract and forgo our initial $2k contract fee and wait and sign up later than be caught with huge extension fees. They came back and negotiated a deal of $4k lump sum to extend tender to June 2016. We were happy with this. Yes will take a pic of your road McCormick st, Im going down to the block to take pics every fortnight, that way I hope to see more significant changes, next time is 27th. We are renting in oran park so are here all the time now. Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 54Feb 18, 2016 11:19 am Thanks for your reply trimum and 1sthomebuyer ... glad to see other people on the same boat ... I work in Liverpool so can't wait to move as my current commute from near Penrith to Liverpool is too long. Trimum, 4K sounds a good deal to hold the tender ... One of my colleague paid 8k to Wisdom to do that - also building in Oran Park .. Thanks in advance for when you take the pic in couple of weeks ....I think I better start shopping around for Construction loan now Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 55Feb 18, 2016 2:49 pm Thanks for the photos trimum. Keep it up. jumping_jupiter, Our builder is charging us 950 every month after the anticipated registration date. I'm trying to negotiate with them but was advice to wait for the land to register. Hopefully they waive or even lower the monthly increase. Have you tried to negotiate with your builder? Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 56Feb 18, 2016 2:53 pm Folks, Any news on where we are with the land rego? Cheerio OB! Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 57Feb 18, 2016 4:09 pm 1st_HomeBuyer, I recently message OPT on FB and they advised me to keep on checking their website. It looks like they contact the land developer in regular basis to get an update. So at the moment it is still expected to be registered on April. Re: Oran Park - 10e 10f 10g release anyone? 58Feb 20, 2016 7:54 am Hi Aaron, No I never thought of negotiating with my builder on that ... I had them extend my tender from April to June though and thought it should be ok considering the 10F schedule on OPT website. Will have to closely watch it I guess over next few weeks. Hey 1 question for all ... Have you guyz already started shopping around for loan ? when is the best time to start looking for lender given the settlement is May ... cheers guyz.

I have not yet gone to the bank. But i am moving to the bank in march first week. As rego may be in april or may. Bank pre aproval is only valid for 3 months. And after that you got to reapply. So if you are with us in F or G than march would be the time to goto the bank. Cheerio OB!
