PURCHASING PROCESS

 

Our simple-to-follow process makes it easy to turn your dreams into a reality, giving you certainty and peace of mind when you build your home with Mirvac.

 

INITIAL RESERVATION AMOUNT

This reservation amount takes your land off the market to give you time to exchange contracts. An initial reservation amount of $1,000 is to be paid by you and if you decide to proceed to exchange contracts, will be applied as part payment of the deposit under your Contract of Sale. If you decide not to proceed to exchange contract or do not do so within 14 days of paying the reservation amount, $1,000 will be refunded in full.

 

LAND CONTRACTS ISSUED

Contracts are issued by Mirvac solicitors to your chosen solicitor.

 

EXCHANGE

Your signed contract is delivered to Mirvac’s solicitors so the contract can be exchanged. You will be required to pay the 5% deposit (less the initial $1,000 reservation amount) within the timeframe stated in your contract.

 

SETTLEMENT**

At settlement you will be required to provide your $4,000 Design Guidelines Compliance Bond in accordance with the Special Conditions of your Land Sale Contract. Your land typically settles 21 days after the registration of the plan creating your land as separate title.

**Actual settlement dates are subject to purchaser’s sales contract terms.
