How are you going? Have you made any decisions on the land? We're building not too far away from there in Guildford so I'm pretty familiar with the area - and of course the displays (our builder called me a Display Groupie the other day ) I don't know too much about the plans for the estate, but as a location goes I couldn't fault it. We'd be in the same shire I presume. I just love living near the Swan Valley and feeling close to the country while being not all that far out from the city centre. As CA3105 said, 50% is pretty standard. I'm curious about the differences in price and spec requirements between Brookleigh and Taylors - they have very different builders represented by the displays and available house and land packages. Have you picked up on many differences? Anise I'm sure 50% was mentioned when we talked to a sales agent in the VALE (Averley) recently, however a drive through of the area and looking at a number of houses in different stages of contsruction had me thinking that must be a minimum rather than a maximum Nothing like looking at a concrete slab on a vacant block to give you a perspective of coverage Re: WA - Buying land (Brookleigh Estate, Caversham?) 7May 10, 2012 9:14 pm Hello We're building in St Leonards, we fell in love with the location and the set up of the estate in general. We bought a block in one of the "back" stages (1K) because of the block sizes and wide frontages (ours is 21m). Currently waiting on titles so hopefully we can get started soon!! In regards to other developments depending how far north you want to go, there is whiteman edge and park st as well as taylors as mentioned. All the estates we looked into had max 50% site coverage. Re: WA - Buying land (Brookleigh Estate, Caversham?) 9Jun 22, 2012 6:37 pm pumkinbroc Their design guidelines say max 50% site coverage... is this generally the case in other new Estates around Perth? Corrimbia (aka Landsdale) allows 65% coverage which would make for a monster house on an average block, or an average sized home on a small/'cottage' block Re: WA - Buying land (Brookleigh Estate, Caversham?) 10Jun 27, 2012 11:30 am brookleigh is so nice! i would have loved to have purchased my block there but unfortunately it was quite a lot pricier than my budget allowed me - so i settled for avonlee which is about 5mins or so from brookleigh. so for anyone reading this and brookleigh is a bit pricey look into avonlee or whiteman edge. whiteman edge is being developed by stockland and they seem to be a lot more on the ball than our developer (terranovis) Oct 10 - Council Approval Oct 23 - Site scrape Oct 29 - Footings and Prelay OCT 30 - Slabbed Nov 6 - Bricks Delivered Nov 13 - Brickwork started Re: WA - Buying land (Brookleigh Estate, Caversham?) 12Aug 03, 2012 9:29 am We're building on Taylor Private Estate; just waiting for land titles later this year. I believe that the developers are currently looking into 60% site coverage. 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.
