Land - Pre Setttlement

The time had come for us to inspect and verify the condition of the land prior to settlement taking place.

A big mention to Land Lease for clearly letting us know about these things when we purchased the land. Throughout the process they have been open about the information about the land; provided us with the information about their responsibilities and have been very responsive and followed up matters in a very timely manner. If we bought land again, our preference would be for a Land Lease estate - they have invested well into the area and provided excellent support throughout the process.

We drove down to our block to inspect it. The site had lost some of the rubbish that was there a while ago, but had unfortunately gained a fair amount of rubbish from builders dumping on the site over the time.

The site now had two decent sizes of concrete messes dumped on the grass, plenty of litter, gravel and temporary fences left lying over it.


The other important thing we had come to do, was, check for the boundary pegs & site measurements, to make sure they were all there. We managed to find the front to pegs after brushing aside some overgrown grass. The measurements of the block all looked to be correct, however the pegs at the back of the block had been removed/built over. Some fencing had been done at the back/landscaping, so it was to be expected.

The rubbish & missing of pegs has been passed onto Land Lease, as they will clear the land of rubbish once off & ensure that the pegs are onsite once off as well (they can get damaged/sink/missing with works)

We are awaiting to hear back when they are sorted out and it will come very close to settlement. (It was advised we do it about a week prior, so hopefully not much happens prior to settlement and hopefully the build too!)
