Browse Forums Buying Land Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 646Apr 11, 2017 7:41 pm My builder will not do the final drawings for the house until he gets the title. When he gets the Title I do the final variations, which will include a $5000 deduction they charged for fire. I have a friend in Timber Top, he doesn’t pay the fire levy but his neighbour does. Good luck, After I do the final variations then I will have a final figure for the house, so no I don’t have my loan finalized. This also differs from person to person and loan to loan. Also 24 hour security on site.. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 647Apr 11, 2017 8:04 pm Ting Ting ......which will include a $5000 deduction they charged for fire.

The right hand is south siding, and is most likely not to change from this, as it adjoins a reserve area. So about 60% of us should have our BAL removed Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 649Apr 12, 2017 8:05 am I am building with Simonds express. we already have signed contract for the house and the plans are already done Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 650Apr 12, 2017 1:40 pm We are building with Simonds too (not express) but, they initially told me to wait until titles for the bush fire levy to be removed but we pushed as the evidence is there and they took it out of our contract. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 651Apr 12, 2017 2:47 pm Oh ok. But we have signed the contract already!! Does it matter?? Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 652Apr 12, 2017 3:16 pm We signed as well and paid the deposit but like with all builder you have variations which you sign for after signing the contract and make up the contract. Fire levy reduction will be in the variation as any other adjustment we might add, or things we want to take out. Final drawings that are put through to council for permit will not be done till after title and soil test. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 653Apr 12, 2017 10:01 pm Yup we signed our contract and just finished signing our variation today with the removal of the levy and the addition of a few other things (including an alfresco.. yippee). So this will be something you'll be able to take back, or use for other items too! Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 654Apr 16, 2017 10:38 am Hi, We are in the same position. As per the bank the loan will approved only after land valuation and which is after land entitlement. Hopefully price will remains the same or goes up. Market seems to be going up in officer and Pakenham. Fingers crossed!! Good luck Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 656Apr 16, 2017 5:54 pm Ting Ting Looks like a few people have visited stage two over the break. Wire fence has be opened in various places. Yes!! We visited the site yesterday and the end close to rail tracks. The fences were open and at many other places. We wanted to visit but felt it was risky. But apart from the soil mountain the land and around areas look very much done. Lamp post still layed on ground!!! But it should not take that long now. Its my feeling Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 658Apr 16, 2017 8:47 pm Yep It shouldn't take long. They rolled the roads with the soil required before doing asphalting, which should be very soon and it will be the final layer before title. Also, no builder I went to said you cannot have evaporative cooling. I had it in my house quote but I took it out. Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum. Place is full of wierdos/pedos thought internet may help but I suppose I'll try my luck with someone in person. Cheers. I tried… 0 6911 Well these guys are not looking good...
