Settlement

We have settled! Woohoo!

We have titled!!

Finally! We have officially titled and no longer have a LOT number but a street number! Woohoo!

Settlement is on the 26th July too.. It's all happening at last :)

Hopefully we've missed all the rain and yuck weather and put our wonder builders at SJD to work!

Two weeks to title?

So Blair has called George the last 2 times ..
In May he said June title and settlement.
Now it is mid-June and the last phone call was George saying EVERYTHING is done. Paperwork is at the titles office. That was Tues 12th June.
He believes 2 weeks till titles ready (26th June)
2 weeks till settlement (10th July)
Let's see...


I'll believe it when I see it.

Tick tock

SO.. its may and we are still waiting.. somewhat patiently.

Am I surprised? No. Disappointed? Very much so.

Labour Day 12 March 2012

Another public holiday = another trip to Pakenham..

This time the roads are almost sealed and we have a street sign!

Other than that.... we have grass? Still nothing much to report and no idea when it'll be titling time. The camera batteries ran out before I could take pictures of the poor blocks at the end of Hamish Ave. If we are waiting for them before we title - we could be waiting awhile! They don't even have driveways or paths let alone sealed roads.

Also, we have been getting the ball rolling with our building contracts (by request of our mortgage man) and have found out in this process that the developer has still not yet registered Stage 3 with South East Water. This could take at least a month to get going too.. Not looking good for a march settlement and its getting closer to wet weather. Boo!
