They even gave me my house number. I paid this over the phone for my land before it was titled. You can definitely pay over the phone Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 973Jul 17, 2017 9:36 am So just have been told by my conveyancer they are now expecting settlement early august. This contradicts the comments made a week ago that said end of july at the latest. Im starting to get fed up. Why do they give timelines if they are just going to extend them. I would much rather them say look we are having problems with will be the date and it be further away. Rather than keep pushing back ridiculous timelines you just end up alienating people. Starting to get frustrated as i want to be in before Christmas but that is starting to look more like a dream than reality. Thought id keep you guys in the loop She told me that it was a hold up with the 173 agreement which is now sorted between council and vendor. The statement of compliance can now be issued from the council Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 974Jul 17, 2017 10:08 am Settlement is not August or July. A registration date will be coming out soon as I was told by my Solicitor on Friday. It's not know yet Once that Registration date is known then the Vendor's Solicitor will advise our Solicitors of that date and provide a statement of variations and we will have 14 days to settle. If your bank takes 13 days to pay then settlement could be in August, if your bank takes 5 days to pay then settlement could be in July. It will vary for person to person.. ( However, if that registration date is August then we all settle August/ September. Once again it will vary from person to person) The site Office is not longer there, as I said on Friday. When the fence goes down then bank valuation and soil tests can be done. Fence could be down anytime from here on. Will do my best to post here when the fence is gone. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 975Jul 17, 2017 10:11 am Im under the impression that once the statement of compliance is issued that is need to be registered with relevant parties and that takes around 21 days then we can settle ? Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 976Jul 17, 2017 10:14 am One the statement of compliance is issued, then the developer lodged the plan to the titles office for registration. Once the titles are released (2-3 weeks), then we'll get a notice that we can settle within 14 days. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 977Jul 17, 2017 10:15 am Yeah thats exactly what i thought the process was. We are definitely not settling in july. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 978Jul 17, 2017 10:28 am Sound like it'll definitely be August. I still wouldn't hold my breath that it'll be early August either considering the trend we have seen so far. Each step has an average time where they'll issue docs etc. however as we know each party likes to take their time which pushes us further and further back. Thanks for keeping us updated. Any news is better than being kept in the dark. It is starting to be a bit of a joke now. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 979Jul 17, 2017 10:35 am I went through the same process before and I understand your frustration, just keep in mind that there are government agencies involved, and they have their own pace of doing things. And some times paperwork just gets held up etc. The basic thing is that the construction is all done, which means the statement of compliance should only be days away. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 980Jul 17, 2017 11:14 am Well in all honesty, today is 17th july and there is only 16 days left for month to end. So if they are saying early august, it sounds quite right only if they issue statement of compliance this week. If we dont have that issued this week then it is a concern Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum.
