Re: East Estate 8Jun 13, 2017 1:26 pm smithfamily I'm building in East Estate also. Building with Simonds though. The latest update i received they said title expected late August, 3 weeks ago it was late July.... Good to hear from future neighbours in the Estate. Has your lot moved out of BAL zone. my lot in stage 1 ended up in BAL. I have already signed building contract. How far has you process progressed with Simonds. follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: East Estate 9Jun 13, 2017 1:34 pm Haven't had any word if it's moved out of BAL zone or not. I'm in stage 2. We have contracts signed with Simonds, ready to go, just awaiting title now. Even if our lot moves out of BAL zone, I will still keep the BAL inclusions in the build.

The BAL was updated on 1 June 2017. I think Stage 2 still comes under BAL. Stage 1 is mostly out barring the lots with their backyards to stage 4. I am also in the same boat - Just wanting them to title the land at the earliest. follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: East Estate 11Jun 13, 2017 1:52 pm Our block backs onto Stage 6 I believe so will most likely stay in BAL zone then. Hopefully the title dates don't get pushed out any further than they already are!

Phase 1, so far the experience with Arden homes right from day one working with the SC / colours/tender/ contracthas been I would say very good compared to how others report regarding how hard it is to communicate.
