I wish to please have help from lovely expert advice. I am looking at two lot in Marsden Park. Once for Elara and other once for Newpark! My friend buy in Elara for $388,000 for 300m2. When it's valued by bank it has value of $350,000! She and her husband try another bank approval and has vakue of $350,000 same! What is bank strategy? My friend and her husband think the big 4 main banks work together to make their value lower. How can they both have low valuations and match for same value? Maybe suspicious. May be it's unfair? I meet other families as I visit the Newpark and meet this nice family yesterday who bought in Newpark recent for $380,000. 300m2 block. Bank valuation come in at $360,000. But this is Newpark and can't be right? I said maybe banks are unfair but they said other side of the story - developers and vendors are selling land in Marsden Park and Box Hill overprice. Desperit to sell wgich also explains many spexial discount. Can anyone help discover valuation before signing the contract? What can we do if we buy the land but the valuation is less than we signing the contract? Many thanks for participation. Warm regard.

It really sounds like a tough market out there with bank valuations. I am sure your friend is not alone. I would go with a broker in this instance - they can order land valuations before submitting formal applications to banks because you need to remember that every time you submit an application formally to the bank, it will show up on your credit history so just be aware of that. So what happens if the bank's value is under purchase price? Does that mean they have to come up with the extra $30,000? Sorry, not sure how it all works in that situation. I have seen both Elara and Newpark giving huge discounts though... Re: Newpark Estate, Marsden Park 66Mar 25, 2019 10:46 am Kad Hi Guys I went there today looks like lots been separated.

Hi Kad, welcome, we are on Marsdenia Avenue too Re: Newpark Estate, Marsden Park 69Mar 25, 2019 6:26 pm Hi All, thought to share a recent information received from a builder I enquired and who is also selling H&L package a few lots down from ours (its their best interest to find out). He confirmed with the developer sales rep that the land will be registering second half of 19 but more towards the last quarter. For us, we are already abit wary with the value falling but remains positive. Our sunset clause ends Dec.

Fingers crossed Re: Newpark Estate, Marsden Park 71Mar 26, 2019 12:17 pm Hey everyone, Spole with my builder today. They informed me that the developer of the land had been in contact with them, and was told that the land (Precinct 4) registration Will take place late August 2019... exciting!

That is very exciting indeed! Good time to finalise and lock in your builder now. As reference, we are in Newpark Stage 1. Timeline 2018: Land registered in August Developer Approval in September Council Approval in November Christmas shutdown in December Timeline 2019: Final Admin paperwork completed in January Construction start in February If you are able to do your selections with your builder now, that would be good so that when your land is registered, the quicker you can get to construction stage (it takes approx 5 months from Land Registration to Construction stage). I'm just pointing this out because some people wait till Land registers to pick their builder and then get disappointed that Admin is so long. But if you are not in a rush to start building, by all means take your time. The selection process can take quiet some time too. Goodluck!

Re: Newpark Estate, Marsden Park 76Mar 28, 2019 9:26 pm I was speaking to one of the builders and he asked me to check whether the new park guidelines is part of the 88B so that it was to be followed as such?
