BEFORE SETTLEMENTNot long until you call Seventh Bend home! Between now and then, you just need to complete a few steps to get yourself ready:

Choose your builderIt can take 3 months to create a Build Contract, so if you haven’t chosen a builder, the Seventh Bend team can assist in helping you get in touch with some builders.

Secure financeIf you are planning to borrow, you’ll need a lender. Be sure to shop around as interest rates and packages can vary.

Book a valuationYour lender will need to inspect and value the site in preparation for settlement.We will let you know when the site is pegged and open for inspection.

Confirm your Legal RepresentationWe need contact details of your solicitor or conveyancer so we can communicate with them about settlement. You will have provided us with this information at the time of your contract signing, but its important to let us know if these details have changed since.

Once titles have been released from the Titles O�ce, it’s timefor settlement.

Settlement is when you o�cially take legal possession of your block and will occur 14 days after titles are released, unless your Contract of Sale states otherwise. The Seventh Bend legal adviser will contact your nominated legal adviser (conveyancer or solicitor) when settlement is scheduled.

You will need to make sure you are ready to settle on your land per the terms of your Contract of Sale, to avoid delays which can incur penalty. This means confirming finance has been formally arranged and submitted to your legal adviser before the planned settlement date.
