Now comes the slow part of this whole process. Waiting for our land to register!
Now that we have finished all the fun stuff and signed all the contracts with Plantation, we wait for our little piece of dirt to register so we can finally build on it. Land registration is in February so we still have around 2 months to go...as long as it all goes to plan and registers on time.
Last week we were given the news that our covenant application was approved by the developer Stockland. This means they are happy with what we are planning to do with Plantation and our Landscaping plans were also approved. So we are ticking all the boxes for our covenant.
Today we submitted our final quotes to our finance company so we can get the valuation done. We were told this can take around 3-4 days to get the valuation back. We have heard back already to say that the valuer can't actually gain access to our land until mid-January given the land doesn't actually register until February. This means that we need an extension on our finance.
When we signed our contract with Stockland we had a 90-day clause in it given the land wasn't registering for some time. I have just emailed off our Solicitor to ask them to gain an extension on this. I've been told this happens all the time and is easy to do. Here's hoping!
On an exciting note, the development we are moving to opened up the main road that runs through the development on the weekend. We went for a drive and can see where our block will be. It's all taped off and under construction at the moment but we can see our piece of dirt and that is pretty exciting. It was cool looking at the sites that were opened at the weekend and all the families standing on their land for the fist time. That will be us soon.
