I reckon it probably should have been fenced off due to construction equipment everywhere......lucky us I guess Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 2097Feb 02, 2015 4:04 pm Hi y'all Just a little bit about whats happened with us so far- axiom legal (conveyancers) and resolve finance have been calling me non stop for a week regarding getting our formal contracts signed and sent back- i did say that the contract states we have 21 days to accept the offer....... We sent back the papers which got 'lost' although they were express. Re-issued and lost again in the mail. Getting frustrated by now. Another type of paperwork had to be re-signed due to incorrect info from axiom. Now getting a bit hot under the collar. Get the umpteenth phone call (in middle of a meeting mind you- almost every time they called) i am told that they sent the wrong 'transfer of land' contract and we need to have the formal paperwork from commonwealth (which i have to go get on my lunch break- 30 mins away) resigned- in the end axiom rep drove out and we signed and he took them with him- but we had to remember what boxes we had ticked for which accounts the money will come out of..... and the bank knew nothing about it when i got there. Finally get back to work (now been gone for 2 hours) and they call me to tell me they received the paperwork!!! Seriously over-communication. I appreciate getting updated but seriously- i was considering just not answering my phone in the end. I did explain to them i am at work and one call or two i can answer but 7 within 3 hours from 2 separate companies in the same building. I am doing exams ATM and as much as i can't wait to build this house, my mind is elsewhere. Long story short- if your lonely and want someone to talk to, use axiom. if your have a life and a job and other commitments, maybe try another conveyancer.... Very ranty and ungrateful sounding but i have had so many calls from both companies in such a short time- i feel like i have an overbearing, clingy ex-boyfriend that wont stop calling me. I got home one night and said to my fiance- 'Heath, i think our conveyancer is stalking me!"

This just literally made me LOL in the middle of a meeting! Thanks for the chuckle. So have you gone through Commonwealth? Did you have a 5% deposit to do so? I'm about to email my Resolve guy with our bank statements and latest payslips so we can get the finance application rolling... SO nervous! Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 2099Feb 02, 2015 6:20 pm puglover I don't have my paperwork on my but from memory that sounds about right, although I'm not in a flood zone. Have you been charged for Bushfire zoning? I got told by the SC I'm definitely NOT in a bushfire zone, yet my developer contract says that I am! So confused by that. You can type in your address at http://services.land.vic.gov.au/maps/bushfire.jsp and find out if you are in a bushfire zone. The zone has a habit of changing at least once a year. I havent, and i havent looked to much into it, but on face value its not the saviour its trying to make out to be. Shared equity in your home is never a good idea.

Please see picture. 0 7384 For reference, this is the Austlii reference. My take on this is, that they would be breaking the law denying access to a homeowner in Victoria, or their agent from having… 1 10216 |
