The civil works seem to be in for the most part for the stages being talked about. My only suggestion in dealing with the builders would be to perhaps agree a delay fee in a 3 or 4 month block as opposed to a month to month. The price escalations can take a toll especially with tighter lending by banks now and rates on the up. Re: NSW - FREEMANS RIDGE ESTATE, CARNES HILL COMMUNITY 33Dec 01, 2016 7:09 am Newhome-9999 LIm in stage 29, deposit put down in FEB 15 and was told 12-18 month, and the rest.... the last information given to our solicitor was possibly sometime in OCT, fingers crossed Oh wow that's a long wait! Hopefully yours register soon. Have you already signed with a builder? We're building with fowler homes, still in the tender variation stage. [/quote] ... hi ... omg I am So in stage 29 .. deposit feb15 and now land is still not registered and my builder METRICON is wanting to charge is $5k every month it's delayed?? Anyone in the same situation? What can we do? It's so unfair as I have no control to the land settlement which I am been chasing for months ... contract of house now needs to be amended with the new building price. So unfair [/quote] Im in stage 29 too, howdy neighbour.... we still haven't heard anything yet either. I have a friend at land and title office, he said the plans were received on the 27 Oct however they were incomplete so they are waiting for an update from the surveyor.. its so annoying. I took December off work this year thinking we would be there however we haven't even started!

I called the land surveyor 2 days ago and he confirmed they have done everything they can. The status on the LPI site reads "under requisition" is no longer relevant. So I sent an email to LPI for a follow up update .. but not sure how long? Can you follow up with your friend there??? Who are you guys building with? Do you have to pay the extra charges for the land settlement delay? So unfair? And if it's settle how long do we allow for the construction phase to commence? I am been told that monthly fee up to the commence of construction stage. I am quite upset with this whole process. No one seem to own the situation. Vendor solicitor keep providing an inaccurate settlement time frame. I called council as well and they gave me my street number and name 3 weeks ago, street seem all complete with street lights up and on so I do not understand the delay? Thanks neighbours. Re: NSW - FREEMANS RIDGE ESTATE, CARNES HILL COMMUNITY 35Dec 01, 2016 8:23 am Also with Christmas and NY approaching it will take even longer now Re: NSW - FREEMANS RIDGE ESTATE, CARNES HILL COMMUNITY 36Dec 01, 2016 8:54 am Newhome-9999 Also with Christmas and NY approaching it will take even longer now ill ask my friend then if there is anymore update. I picked the house straight away so we are up for the price increase of the house, its about $15k so far i think, prob cheaper that $1k per month anyway... it is real annoying. its my first home so i still live with mum or dad, thankfully I'm not paying another mortgage or rent. im building with mcdonald jones homes. I've started a blog if you are interested. How abbut you? https://therayworthsbuild.wordpress.com I'm going to ask about my street number too thats a great idea. who do i email? i have a friend from work that already lives in carnes hill, he said it has been sitting there ready for ages. and another friend from work who just moved in 2 weeks ago, he was in the stage before us. he was delayed this much too.

I did tooz Yes please follow up .. I will too. I am building with Metricon. You know they put a fat in the future price already as they said site cost is $65k ... that is so excessive but they don't care as they know they have the demand. We in a such a disadvantage situation. So when you say u are up to $15k they amend your contract and increase the settlement time .. could it go up higher? Thanks .. ps I will read your blogs Re: NSW - FREEMANS RIDGE ESTATE, CARNES HILL COMMUNITY 38Dec 01, 2016 9:12 am Sorry you mean you have selected the home straight away when u have chosen your land?
