Have you chosen the house and builder yet? Re: True North Greenvale 42Jun 08, 2019 8:59 am icheemaCongrats! Have you chosen the house and builder yet? We are 95% decided on Simonds. We are looking for something not too big, maybe a 25 square. The Mebbin from Simonds looked like a beautiful house and we might go ahead with that! 06 Feb 2015 27 VIC Junior Member Re: True North Greenvale 43Jun 08, 2019 12:03 pm Dui2705 icheemaCongrats!

The Mebbin from Simonds looked like a beautiful house and we might go ahead with that! Nice! A couple of my friends have built with Simonds and they were quite happy with them. They do have some really nice designs. 08 Mar 2019 33 Junior Member Re: True North Greenvale 44Jun 08, 2019 12:05 pm Dui2705 krithi Dui2705Congratulations krithi!

To those who have already settled (Congratulations!) or will be having their settlement on Monday, 17th June who are 1st Home Owners: We're you informed by your conveyancer that you'll have to pay for your stamp duty and then just file for a refund of the full amount once you already have your FHOG reference number? Or did you not have to worry about this at all (ie. Not pay the stamp duty due to the exemption)? Thanks! The conveyancer didn't say anything about this. Except they made me sign some electronic form from the state revenue authority (or something) which did ask if I was a first home buyer. I'll check with my conveyancer. 21 May 2019 10 Junior Member Re: True North Greenvale 47Jun 12, 2019 7:39 am tux_igloo sapn0ZcribHello again everyone!

We have also signed the SRO digital form. Did you notice if the question that asked if you are applying for exemption was set to Yes? Also, have you already applied for an FHOG via your banker (which would have already given you an FHOG reference number)? Sorry for the trouble and thanks again. 15 Aug 2017 13 Junior Member Re: True North Greenvale 48Jun 12, 2019 12:07 pm sapn0ZcribI appreciate it, tux_igloo. We have also signed the SRO digital form.

I'm not sure but yes I remember some FHOG related questions on that form (IE: is this my first home...etc). I haven't received a ref number. I just messaged my conveyancer and my broker. Let's see what I get back from them. 21 May 2019 10 Junior Member Re: True North Greenvale 50Jun 12, 2019 12:41 pm Dui2705This has been my experience regarding FHOG and Stamp duty exemptions - My land has settled, I did not have to pay any stamp duty at all, this was sorted by my conveyancer from her end. on settlement, all amounts due were direct debited from my account and I have just receieved a statement from my conveyancer outlining the deductions - Eg. 1. land registry, 2. PEXA settlement fee, 3. nomination fee, 4. council fees etc. Now for the contruction loan, my bank has given me a form to fill out for the $10,000 grant, but I will need a building contract to complete this. Anyways, thats my experience so far. I have paid an initial deposit with Simonds ($2,500) and I have been told that contrcution will most likel commence in August if everything goes to plan. We are am building a single level house, whats everyone else building? Single or double? Good luck everyone and happy building! Thanks for your response, Dui2705. Clearly, our conveyancer did not know what to do. She's asking us to pay for 19,165 that we can already use for our deposit for the builder as we are supposed to have our contract signing tomorrow. We are building a double storey with Urbanedge homes. Thanks again and good luck with your build journey! 08 Mar 2019 33 Junior Member Re: True North Greenvale 51Jun 12, 2019 4:38 pm sapn0ZcribHello again everyone!

Hi sapn0Zcrib We haven’t settled yet but our broker had advised that we wouldn’t need to pay the stamp duty. Best to get a second advise from another conveyancer/broker to relay back to your conveyancer. Who is your conveyancer? Please direct message if you don't mind as it’s sensitive info. Hopefully our conveyancer is not the same True North Greenvale.

Does it usually take this long to begin construction after settlement? True North Greenvale. Stage 13. Re: True North Greenvale 53Jun 12, 2019 5:17 pm CanopusHi Dui2705 We are building with Simonds too - single level. Does it usually take this long to begin construction after settlement? Hi canopus, I dont think it usually takes this long. We have just started the quote and contract process very recently (last 2-3 weeks). Since we started the processs late, our construction will start a bit late. If you already have a contract with Simonds/ or have gone to the design studio, finalised all your colour schemes and upgrades and are finalising the contract, your contruction will start sooner i think. 21 May 2019 10 Junior Member Re: True North Greenvale 54Jun 12, 2019 5:46 pm Canopus sapn0ZcribHello again everyone!

Hopefully our conveyancer is not the same Hi Canopus, Thanks for your message. I have shared to my conveyancer your feedback and she said that she did not know how the other conveyancers did it as she knew that there's no other way aside from filing a refund after shouldering the amount during settlement. So I have rung SRO and they were very helpful. They just advised us to ask our conveyancer to send us another digital duties form with the Concession/ Exemption section set to 'Yes'. Thankfully, our conveyancer did this and we don't have to pay the stamp duty anymore. It's quite a stressful day esp tomorrow is our contract signing with the builder + 5% deposit payment. Please let me know if you still need my conveyancer's name and will PM you. Thanks again. 21 May 2019 10 Junior Member Re: True North Greenvale 55Jun 12, 2019 5:51 pm tux_igloo sapn0ZcribI appreciate it, tux_igloo. We have also signed the SRO digital form.

Re: True North Greenvale 58Jun 27, 2019 2:58 pm shez29Hi, My partner and I are planning to buy a land here to build our house on. I was just wondering if this area is nice to live in (e.g. safe) as it is beside Roxburgh Park? Thanks. The area is quiet safe. It's part of the more elite "Greenvale" suburb, and it's still at the side of Roxburgh Park, but the houses around that area are nice (beside Kolbe Catholic College). Best way would be to take a drive down that area. I have been living around the area for a few years not and have never had any issues. I think if you move a bit more south (towards Broadmeadows or lower Meadow Heights) you might feel that the area is not that nice, but it's still a bit further away from there. Hi Guys I have bought a titled lot in greenvale central. Sorry I am not aware of the background on how long it took to title. Is there any reason houses have not started… 0 507 Thanks icheema. We’ve been chatting with PD and they’re prepared to fix site cost but unfortunately the lot we’re looking at just has too many issues I think. Lucky… 3 1914 We're moving to Somers in a few weeks! There doesn't seem to be a community group for this estate yet, so we've created one. In keeping with HomeOne rules I won't post… 0 402 |
