Due to an extension of the current ‘circuit breaker’ restrictions announced by the Victorian Government to slow the spread of COVID-19, we regret to advise that all pre-settlement inspections that were arranged on Friday 4 June and Monday 7 June will need to be rescheduled again.

Pre-settlement inspections will now be taking place on the dates listed below.  To re-book your pre-settlement inspection, please contact Ewan Hutchinson (RPM Real Estate) on 0487 888 860. This will help to ensure that appropriate access to your townhome can be arranged: 

  • Friday 11 June 2021; and
  • Tuesday 15 June 2021

Should any updates be received on the extension of the current period of restrictions, we will be in touch again to provide further information, including instructions for any re-scheduling of inspection dates that may be necessary.

Should you require any information around the process leading up to settlement of your townhome, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email alfiesettlements@rpmrealestate.com.au 


UPDATE - 31st May 2021 

Due to the current ‘circuit breaker’ restrictions announced by the Victorian Government to slow the spread of COVID-19, we regret to advise that all pre-settlement inspections that were booked in for Thursday 3 June 2021 will need to be rescheduled.  Any inspections that are booked for Friday 4 June will still be going ahead as scheduled at this stage.

Pre-settlement inspections will now be taking place on the dates listed below.  To re-book your pre-settlement inspection, please contact Ewan Hutchinson (RPM Real Estate) on 0487 888 860. This will help to ensure that appropriate access to your townhome can be arranged:

UPDATE - 26th May 2021 

Following our previous communication in early May, we would like to provide a further update regarding completion of your Alfie townhome.

The timeframes previously advised have needed to be slightly adjusted, however as the works on your new townhome are nearing completion, we are able to provide key dates for both your pre-settlement inspection and the final settlement date.

The revised timeframes are outlined below:

  • Pre-settlement inspection Thursday 4th and Friday 5th June 2021
  • Settlement Week commencing Monday 21st June 2021

We do apologise for the need to further adjust completion timeframes. This has been due to a range of factors outside Development Victoria's control, including recent poor weather delaying completion of final external works. Supply-chain issues continue to be disrupted from the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and sub-contract trade resources are in high demand. This demand is a result of a large number of various home and builder grants being offered creating a significant increase in residential construction activity.

To book in a pre-settlement inspection on one of the dates noted above, please contact Ewan Hutchinson (RPM Real Estate) on 0487 888 860. This will help to ensure that appropriate access to your townhome can be arranged.

Please note these dates may need to be reviewed over the coming days, should further government restrictions be announced in relation to the latest COVID-19 cases confirmed within the metro Melbourne area.

Should you require any information around the process leading up to settlement of your townhome, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email alfiesettlements@rpmrealestate.com.au
