penny73 · Aug 13, 2008 6:43 pm

Our land doesnt title til May 09 (fingers toes and everything crossed)

I know the first stage has been released just wondering if anyone has started or is about to start building was it on time? I see the display villages are going up at a cracking pace!!

Hey

We are also building in the Alamanda estate, title due to be released May 09. I am also renting in Point Cook too and drive by the Alamanda estate everyday. I have seen a huge metal frame recently which I suspect is the
rec centre.

Would be good to know how the first stage progressed and whether there were any delays.

cheers

Stage 3 is delayed... i have been waiting since July ... :cry:

We are building at Alamanda, stage 7b. Due to title in May 09, but I won't hold my breath!!!

Anyone who's building there know why the pool is an outdoor one? Seems it would make more sense to build an indoor pool!

Hi everyone,

We bought in stage 5a, expected titles release dec-08 or jan-09.

Claego, has your land been released yet?

It's now Sept, i wonder how long more we will have to wait... :shock:

claego · Sep 03, 2008 11:39 am

Not yet, not yet..

Just called them again and they said it will go to title office next week.. if things go well, then i should be looking at 1st week of Oct... hope this is true...
I have a site start in Oct on my contract, not sure if i can really start in Oct...

hey guys, im looking at Alamanda and Innisfail estate, i was just wondering once we buy the land, is there a rule/law/restriction as to when we have to start construction? I was thinking of buying the land first and then start constructing 2.5 years later.... is this possible?

claego · Sep 03, 2008 5:26 pm

if i remember correctly, construction must start within 18 months after the settlement

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Claego ::praying::

Let us know how it goes...
Looks like ours probably won't happen until next year...

Claego,

I hope things go well for you. Is the builder going to charge for the delay for the house construction. *concern* How much?

Hey All, does anyone know at what time does the car spaces in Laverton/Aircraft station get filled up completely in the mornings during weekdays?

Depending on the time during weekdays; normally, during Mondays to Wednesdays, the car park becomes full before 8:30am.
Thursdays and Fridays are better... I can still get a car space at around 8:45am.

claego · Sep 12, 2008 8:43 pm

Normally i leave home at around 7.15am, and by the time i reach Queens Street in the city, it is about 7.50am, so the freeway traffic aren't too bad for me... But Friday is much better..

claego · Sep 12, 2008 8:51 pm

Hi mikeval, i do need to pay extra if site start delay, if remember correctly they said the cost is $1500 for 3 months... but they are confident that i can make it...

And today, woo... the Alamanda website actually has been updated saying that Stage 3 is titled release... unbelievable, because i know nothing about it... may need to make some phone calsl on Monday to my solicator/bank manager...

and thanks Dreamhome, hopefully i can own the dirt very soon...

claego · Sep 13, 2008 12:02 pm

Good news, i have just received a SMS from my solicator that my land has a settlement date... Too good to be true, i am going to be a land owner plus more debt

Looking forword to the build... hope everything is going to be fine..

Excellent news Claego!!! Congratulations ::cheerleader::

We drove past the estate today and things are moving fast, lots of new houses have started, most of them i think are display houses but it's all looking great.

I wonder how late they are with stage 5..

Don't want to pay a fine to builder because of late start but we probably will have to ::crying::

The Bayview Park looks awesome. There were lots of families with their kids out there today, probably enjoying today's nice weather

Claego, what is your settlement date?

dreamhome · Sep 13, 2008 11:17 pm

Hi everyone,

Is anyone using their builder to install the fibre optics or using Villawood's preferred supplier 'Commverge'?

Our builder seem not quite sure what our options are as they can't confirm that they can do it and at what price and they have not confirmed if we can use Commverge instead.

penny73 · Sep 14, 2008 5:29 pm

ooohh can you actually use the roads to drive to Bayview Park?? I would love to take a drive around the estate (seeing as I will be living there) but havent so far as I wasnt sure if I was allowed.

claego · Sep 14, 2008 8:14 pm

Hi Dreamhome, i am settling on 25th.. just hope things go smoothly

My builder has confirmed that they cannot do the optic fabic, so i will need to organise my own electican (most likely will use Villawood's supplier).. just make sure they allow you to do that in writing. In my case, i have asked them to include this clause in my contract.

When i drove passed yesterday, i already saw people pinicing in the park area... everyone is getting excited...
