UPDATE - 29th AUGUST 2021 

Cluster 2 settlements are currently in progress.


UPDATE - 13th AUGUST 2021 

Pre-settlement inspection and settlement timeframes for Cluster 2 have been called pending further advice and updates on Victorian Government COVID-19 restrictions.


UPDATE - 21st JULY 2021 

Our team is in the process of undertaking final quality assurance checks prior to Occupancy Permits being received and homes achieving Practical Completion.

Following the issuance of Occupancy Permits and completion of quality inspections the Alfie team will provide an update on proposed inspection and settlement timeframes.


UPDATE - 18th JUNE 2021 

Following our previous communication in early May regarding progress of your Alfie townhome, valuation inspection timeframes have now been confirmed.

Valuation inspections of your townhome can be undertaken by your bank lender during the week commencing Monday 12th July 2021.

If you have not done already, please contact your bank lender to have their nominated valuer arrange an inspection. 

The valuer must contact Ewan Hutchinson (RPM Real Estate) on 0487 888 860 to confirm their requested time to conduct a valuation during the week indicated above. This will ensure appropriate access to the construction site can be facilitated with the builder.

At the time of the valuation inspection, your valuer must observe any COVID-19 health and safety measures that apply to real estate services and inspections, as per directions of the Victorian Chief Health Officer.  For further information, please visit https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus 

The current estimated pre-settlement inspection and settlement timeframes are listed below:

  • Pre-settlement inspection Mid-August 2021
  • Settlement Late-August 2021

Should these dates be revised further, we will be in contact again to advise of the new timeframes, once these have been confirmed.

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 alfiesettlements@rpmrealestate.com.au 


UPDATE - 6th MAY 2021 

Following our last communication in late March regarding the progress of your Alfie townhome, we would like to provide a further update.

Due to some delays during the final stages of works on site, we’ve had to make some changes to the timing for valuation and pre-settlement inspections, and the expected timeframe for final settlement.

The latest updates are below:

  • Valuation inspection Late-July 2021
  • Pre-settlement inspection Mid-August  2021
  • Settlement Late-August 2021

We do apologise for the need to revise these timeframes and our team will continue to keep you updated on the progress of your townhome.  We will be in contact again to advise specific inspection and settlement dates, once these have been confirmed.

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
