Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 19, 2015 5:55 pm Hi, In December, we bought a block in a new relatively small development in Keysborough (South East Melbourne) called Solsbury Field. The land was due to title in March/April this year. As with many new developments this date was a little optimistic. I've never really taken much notice of the land development process up until now. I took the following photo this afternoon. Can anyone hazard a guess on when the development might be complete ?? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Thanks. Cobbler Re: When will our land be titled ? 2Apr 19, 2015 6:10 pm Congrats on buying a block of land we also purchased a block in Newcastle area NSW in December that was meant to register in April/May. We are now being told July. Our road is the same as yours, gutters in but no road finished. I think you are best to speak with your developer to find out what they think. Re: When will our land be titled ? 3Apr 19, 2015 10:12 pm Good question! I posted a similar question in the buying land forum wondering what sort of things need to be happen before the land titles and no reply yet! I've posted a picture of our land in my build thread, It looks like we've got everything in & nearly ready to go too. How much more work is there after footpaths and stuff go in? We've been told anywhere from April to June depending on who you ask!

Cobbler Hi Cobbler, We're building there as well; however, our land belong to Somerfield and is co-develop with solsbury estate. Base on what Danny told us, on paper everything look like will be done in june/july. Reality is probably around the September/October before you can expect the titles Blue Destiny Re: When will our land be titled ? 5May 03, 2015 1:57 pm Hi Blue Destiny, Thanks for the info. That is sobering news. As you can see from the price list below there were going 2 releases for Solsbury Field. Perhaps your land is aligned with the second one ? I will contact the agent and see what he has to say.

Land is Keysie is expensive looking at those prices (I live in Old Keysborough). I've been watching all the estates go up, seems to take ages. I've bought in Pakenham, I was told April.. last week got a letter stating December Can't believe there's such a big delay, would have thought June/July at the least. You just never know with these things. Re: When will our land be titled ? 7May 03, 2015 5:25 pm aloenyx Wow! Land is Keysie is expensive looking at those prices (I live in Old Keysborough).

You just never know with these things. Not as expensive as Wantirna. We have been looking around to buy land to build, Keysborough is probably 'cheap' considering its within 25km from CBD. Wantirna on the other hand average $500 dearer per m2 for the same size and dimension but 35km from CBD. Re: When will our land be titled ? 8Sep 27, 2015 6:13 pm Just wanted to let everyone know that settlement should be happening for Solsbury Field soon. Our settlement is booked for the 30th of Sep. Exciting times. Re: When will our land be titled ? 9Sep 27, 2015 8:04 pm Hi All, Yes indeed. We are settling on Tuesday (September 29). Its been a long journey to get this far. Next step is for the builder to submit the request for a Building Permit. For those following the Sarah Lands thread it appears there have been some issues with the council over the potential for flooding. Hoping these issues don't apply to Solsbury. Cheers, Logician BLOG : http://balwyn196.blogspot.com.au Re: When will our land be titled ? 11Sep 28, 2015 8:00 am So I had a chat to our building coordinator last week. She told me that there is some flood related issue with the land. I suspect that this is the same issue with Sarah Lands. She only got back from leave last week and therefore didn't have much information. Hoping to find out more this week. btw I am building with Porter Davis. Did anyone else hear from Porter Davis regarding this issue? Thanks Re: When will our land be titled ? 12Oct 06, 2015 7:12 pm I haven't heard anything from our builder yet regarding a start date. Did anyone hear from their respective builders after settlement? Not sure about the flood related issue either. Arrrrghhh this is frustrating!!! Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum. Place is full of wierdos/pedos thought internet may help but I suppose I'll try my luck with someone in person. Cheers. I tried… 0 6447 Need advice on the backyard plan above.
