UPDATE - 14 JANUARY 2022
Following our previous communication on 23 December 2021, an adjustment to the proposed settlement timeframe of your Alfie Townhome is required as a result of a minor delay in issuance of final certifications from the builder and relevant subcontractors in order to obtain the Occupancy Permit.
Settlement of your townhome will now occur on either Monday 7th or Tuesday 8th February 2022. Development Victoria apologise for the minor delay and any inconvenience caused.
Your conveyancer will be contacted early next week by a member of the Development Victoria Sales Administration team to confirm your Settlement date. Please note that this does not impact your Pre-Settlement Inspection bookings which will go ahead as planned.
UPDATE - 23 DECEMBER 2021
Development Victoria is pleased to confirm that your Alfie Townhome is ready for Pre-Settlement inspections.
Following our extensive quality assurance process with the builder, final defect rectification works are underway to ensure your Townhome is ready for your inspection and handover.
Please find below the key dates for your upcoming settlement:
The Development Victoria Sales Administration team will be in contact with your legal representative in the coming days to confirm your Settlement date and provide the necessary information to enable your conveyancer to arrange a settlement booking.
In the meantime, please contact Ewan Hutchinson (RPM Real Estate) on 0487 888 860 to book in your preferred date and time for your pre-settlement inspection.
On the day of your pre-settlement inspection, you will be required to observe all COVID-19 Health and Safety measures that apply to real estate services and inspections. For further information, please visit the DHHS website.
To assist with your settlement preparation, we have attached the following New Customer Application forms:
Should you wish to utilise an alternative electricity provider, you will still require an account with Origin as your electricity will be delivered via their infrastructure. This means that Origin will continue to send you a bill for network charges however your new chosen retailer will bill you for usage and statutory charges. You will need to contact your preferred provider and let them know you’re in an Embedded Network and request an energy only offer (with no network charges).
Feel free to contact Development Victoria should you require further information.
At the time of settlement, additional information about your property will be provided as part of a Handover Manual. This will include specific information related to operation, maintenance and warranties of fixtures and fittings as well as compliance certificates and relevant permits and insurances.
Should you have any questions relating to your pre-settlement inspection and settlement process, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email.
UPDATE - 8 NOVEMBER 2021
Following our recent Construction / Settlement Update, we are pleased to confirm that Valuation inspections of your townhome can be undertaken by your bank lender between Tuesday the 23rd of November and Thursday the 25th of November.
To organise an inspection, please contact your bank lender and have their nominated valuer contact Ewan Hutchinson (RPM Real Estate) on 0487 888 860 to confirm their preferred date and time. Due to current health and safety measures, all inspections must be booked in and within the period above to ensure access to the construction site can be facilitated.
At the time of the valuation inspection, your valuer must observe all COVID-19 health and safety measures that apply to Construction Sites. They will be required to sign in at the site office and provide evidence of the necessary vaccinations or medical exemptions as per directions of the Victorian Chief Health Officer. For further information, please visit the DHHS website.
The current estimated pre-settlement inspection and settlement timeframes are listed below:
Once all necessary quality assurance checks have been completed and the builder has achieved Practical Completion, we will provide an update, confirming dates for both your pre-settlement inspection and settlement.
Should the valuer require any information relating to your townhome as part of their inspection, or if you have any questions about the valuation inspection and settlement process, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email.
