Verbal Confirmation |
May 21, 2004 |
Fianlly got some good news from the land agent. He has received verbal confirmation that the land is now registered with council. This means we can finalise the land contract exchange, then get plans into council.
Unofrtunately, although the builder told me two weeks ago they had sent plans to shell cove realty, they never received any. So I will drop some in on the weekend so that they can approve the house style before going to council.

Contract Exchange |
May 11, 2004 |
Contracts are finally exchanged for the land!! Still going to be 4-5 weeks though before the settlement. Also spoke to builder, and they cant submit plans to council (which are actually ready as I received them today) until the land is settled, or I have at least got a settlement date.
Solicitor says cant produce a letter at this stage, not until the lots are registered with council.

Deposit Paid |
May 09, 2004 |
Today I paid the remaining portion of the land deposit, $19,000. The land is still waiting to be registered with Council, and is expected to take another 2 weeks to complete. Then it will be another 3 weeks before our contracts are settled! So finalising the land is expected to take until middle of june! So much for trying to get this whole process happening quickly so I could move in before end of July!

Day Of Colour |
May 07, 2004 |
Spent the day in Sydney going through the internal colours required for the house, and the bricks, tiles, gutters etc. outside. Upgrading a few of the standard fittings, including the doors, and water heater has cost me another $4,000! Oh well, got to have the best.

First Step |
May 05, 2004 |
Finally got the first approval for the land portion of the mortgage, so I now have to go sign some documents with the solicitor for the first time and get the papers sent off to the bank.
