Browse Forums Buying Land 1 Oct 06, 2016 8:54 am Hi I am in the process of purchasing a land lot in The Maple estate in Schofields in North West Sydney. The estate is located in between Boundary Road and Schofields Farm Road. Just would like to find out whether they have had issues with the clause in the contract and is the lots Torrens title or Community title. Thanks.... Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 2Oct 11, 2016 8:19 am Hey, I recently bought a lot in Maples, around two weeks ago.Torrents title. Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 4Oct 11, 2016 11:23 am Hi, Lot 106. May i ask what sort of issues did you experience? I followed pretty standard practice of getting the contract reviewed by my conveyancer, and based on her feedback locked in the lot. Hope she dint overlook anything. Also they said registration is this Dec which seems highly unlikely and excgange of contracts is taking forever for me. Any thoughts ? Thanks Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 5Oct 11, 2016 11:56 am Hi Ankur, They had issued wrong contract for lots 1381 to 1384. As this is further subdivision of lot 138 into 4 lots they now have prepared new contract and I received it yesterday evening. Your lot may be registered by Jan/Feb as the work is going in full swing but for lots 1381 to 1384 it might get delayed as its further subdivision of original lot 138. May I ask have you exchanged your contract as initially they said you have 10 days to exchange contracts however looking at the response they received they reduced it down to 5 days. Thanks... Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 6Oct 11, 2016 1:19 pm I have signed it and my conveyancer posted it to them, which they received. Now i am waiting for them to sign, date it and post it back to my conveyancer, she will then send a copy of it to me. This process should have been completed within 10 days max but it is still pending in my case. Hey, BTW have you shortlisted any builder? I was looking for suggestions, please do let me know if you have any? Thanks Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 7Oct 11, 2016 1:49 pm Ankur Dubey I have signed it and my conveyancer posted it to them, which they received.

This process should have been completed within 10 days max but it is still pending in my case. Hey, BTW have you shortlisted any builder? I was looking for suggestions, please do let me know if you have any? Thanks I have not decided the builder yet as not sure whether to build double or single story. However started visiting display homes to find out the costing. When did they receive your signed contract and deposit? They just emailed me today morning advising the contract needs to be exchanged by Friday. They are in rush to exchange the contract then wondering why they are not sending you back the signed contract. Thanks Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 8Oct 11, 2016 2:32 pm Thats their standard email format i think "exchange contracts within 5 days" They did the same with me. But what i have seen till now is that after you sign contract, attach bank cheque towards initial 10% deposit and send it through, they will delay in signing and returning back a copy of it. I haven't received mine till date. I have been chasing them everyday. It could be that they 're super busy with so many clients. Thanks Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 9Oct 12, 2016 10:26 am Hi Ankur, just had a chat with my solicitor and hoping to exchange the contract by Friday. Have you been to site? I went their couple of times and it seems the construction work is in full swing. Thanks.. Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 10Oct 12, 2016 12:55 pm Thats good news, congrats!! I have been there once, thinking of going again in coming days and waking around. as my concern was the waking distance to train station. As of now it seems i need to walk almost 2 plus KM's , not sure but with time new roads may be built and walking distance reduces. Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 11Oct 12, 2016 2:06 pm Thanks Ankur.
I can park in front of my lot and see the lot from outside as there is a fence in between lot and street. I couldn't see your lot as it is in the middle of the site but hoping it would be quite flat. I think in future there would be short cut to the station from Gordon road. Let me know when you receive your contract copy back from the developer. Thanks.. Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 12Jan 11, 2017 9:55 am Hi, We have bought the lot "1384" and are planning to go with Domaine homes to build our house. However just to warn there is a slop in the land and the builders will charge high site cost for it. Suggestions for any other builder though?? Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 13Jan 11, 2017 9:57 am Our dealing with the developer is very smooth till date. Also.. if thats alright.. May I know how much did the land cost you ? Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 15Mar 03, 2017 10:37 am Hi, We exchanged the contract in October. We will build Double Storey. Have you shortlisted any builder yet ? Thanks Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 16Mar 03, 2017 11:25 am Tanu Priya Hi, We exchanged the contract in October. We will build Double Storey. Have you shortlisted any builder yet ? Thanks Not yet but I am building single storey. Do you have any update on land settlement? As initially they said December and now March started and still there is no news. Thanks... Mansawant Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 17Mar 03, 2017 1:57 pm yeah..no news really . Even though they said December I never relied on it. But I am hopeful to get it by March end Do let me know when you find a Builder, we have never built before so any kind of guidance would be helpful Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 18Mar 10, 2017 2:29 pm Hi, Just got the below notification. Maple subdivision certificated is released from council today. It will take 2 weeks to be registered from LPI. Target commencement of land settlement period from 24/03/2017. Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 19Mar 13, 2017 11:00 am Hi There, Have you narrowed down on any builder ? If so what prices have they come up with ? There seems to be a fair bit of fall on the land. Thanks Re: Has anyone bought lot in The Maple, Schofields suburb 20Mar 13, 2017 11:15 am Yeah.. we were looking at Domaine by clarendon homes and yes the fall is more than standard so they are charging 22,000 as site cost to cover that. That seems unfair but it is what it is. No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 6161 We bought land in Tallawong Schofields NSW size 30m X 12.5m and planning to get double story house build around 350 sqm.
