So, I'm ready to build, why cant we start? Oh, the block has to be registered. Who knew. Everyone but me it seems. So, our conveyancer tells us the land is with council now. Ok, ring Camden Council. It's now with Lands title. Come on.
Unfortunately, we can't settle on the land until it is registered. Which means Eden Brae cant build. So sadly, our commencement date has been pushed back to September. Charles at Eden Brae has been pretty good, but if we go much longer, there is a $1000 per month fee to hold the tender at the contracted price. Why? Cause they can I guess.
Council has given us a few other dramas. We need a 5000L rain tank rather than a 3000L which is the standard inclusion. What does that mean? More cost of course. But, again Charles was pretty good. We asked for the streamline tank rather than the ugly round one. Charles quoted the 3000L tank instead of the 5000L, but has agreed to give it to us at that price. Lesson for future punters- make changes with Charles before signing the contract because he can negotiate on price. The girls that manage the file cannot.
