5 & 7 months before settlement

We’re here to assist with any questions or concerns you may have. Let us know if we can assist in any way.

• Let us know if you change your phone number or e-mail address.

• Keep an eye out for your monthly updates for the latest settlement forecast and construction status (you’ll start to receive updates as soon as construction has commenced).

• Check that you have access to your Property Tracker and the myFrasersProperty app so that you can easily refer to your construction updates: Property Tracker

• Appoint a legal representative (solicitor or conveyancer) and provide them with a copy of your contract.

• Plan the settlement process with your legal representative.

• Commence applications for any grants you may be eligible for.

• If you are selling property to finance your purchase, begin to discuss this with local real estate agents (if you have not already) and find out when they suggest listing your property on the market to be ready for settlement. Keep them informed about changes to the settlement forecast.

We will reach out to have a chat and offer guidance in preparing for your settlement.

• If you will be obtaining a loan, begin to discuss lending capacity with your broker and start to collate any documentation they will require for your application.

• If you have cash funds set aside for settlement, ensure these are available in an Australian account and assess whether you will need to withdraw any funds from investment.

• If you are selling your residence to finance your settlement, don’t forget to consider you may need to find temporary accommodation for the time between settlement of your current property and your new home. Ensure any settlement terms agreed with your buyer will not delay the settlement of your new home.

your to do list

• Prior to your settlement date, it’s crucial to inspect your lot to ensure everything is in order. Once settlement is complete, you will be responsible for the upkeep of your property.

• Confirm that the lot pegs are correctly positioned. Note that they are typically level with the finished surface of the lot, making them somewhat challenging to locate.

• Ensure your lot is free of any waste or rubbish. Please note, neither Frasers Property nor the local Council will contribute to clean-up costs after settlement.

If you can’t visit the lot yourself, we recommend asking a trusted friend, family member, or agent to conduct the inspection on your behalf.

• Temporary fencing is an affordable solution to prevent unauthorised dumping and protect your assets on your lot after settlement. We recommend checking with Your Builder as this service might be included in your Build Contract. If not included, you should contact a temporary fencing provider to arrange for installation.

• We recommend starting your research on temporary fencing options now to ensure your lot is secure immediately after settlement.

• Please refer to the Build Link to access the different documents required before and during your build. Builder Information

Please don’t hesitate to contact your Customer Care Consultant, should you have any concerns regarding a request raised for your purchase. You can reach by phone at 13 86 88 or by email at customercarevic@frasersproperty.com.au.

• Fill up your fencing consent form received from DocuSign. One of the final steps in the construction of your home will include the installation of your boundary fence. Typically, fencing costs are shared between adjoining lot owners, however, contacting your new neighbours may be difficult if they are yet to move in. Upon request, Customer Care can share the contact details of adjoining neighbours once both parties have signed the Fence Consent Form. We are unable to share contact details until consent has been received by both parties. Please note, Frasers Property will not contribute to the cost of boundary fencing, including in the instance where an adjoining lot is unsold. If your neighbour does not provide their consent within a reasonable time from your request, you may wish to follow up with a Request for Information through the Council.
