By mid this year, there will be lot more progress around the area.. Btw - My builder wants to get access to the estate for soil tests ? Has anyone completed there soil tests already ? I thought it will be after settlement... Need advice please.. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 554Feb 17, 2017 6:09 pm Well I was told that our bank has already done the valuation which means they slipped in so seems the builder would need to do the same. Linda mentioned that at the moment no access is being given to anyone...but my bank person has been already! Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 555Feb 17, 2017 7:07 pm Where they are working at is not where the shops are. Peripheral Commercial Neighbourhood Activity is in that area.

When the land is paid in full then title is given, When title is received you become the owner and then the Builder can do a soil test to start building. My builder told me to advise them when I receive title as they cannot do soil test and start anything before that. That's how I understand it. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 558Feb 17, 2017 9:34 pm My soil tests have been done and my land isn't titled yet. Not in south siding though but nearby. It can definitely happen. Although I have bought a house/land package not sure if that makes a difference. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 559Feb 18, 2017 3:15 pm Tingting -- it is indeed confusing and it's case by case basis..... without soil tests, final contract cannot be signed which may delay the build process so was bit worried...

MoniqueElizabeth - Yes, in case of house and land esp when it is through developer it is easy to get the soil tests done before titling but in my case both are different ... We purchased land in Grandvue and had soil tests done by our builder before titling (for site cost estimates) and again after titling to see if anything had changed. 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.
