Purchaser Information

What happens after I pay my deposit?

Once your deposit is paid and your contract is in place, you’ll enter a period where preparations for settlement begin. During this time, you’ll be coordinating with your conveyancer or solicitor, speaking with your lender, and starting early discussions with your builder. Our team at Jubilee will keep you informed of important dates and help guide you through each stage so you know exactly what to expect.

What approvals do I need before my land settles?

The main approval most purchasers require before settlement is formal finance approval, so it’s important to have this organised as soon as possible. As you continue toward construction, additional approvals, such as building permits, design approval, and any builder-specific requirements will also come into play. Your builder will usually assist with these steps so the process remains straightforward.

Why are home design guidelines part of the process?

Jubilee’s design guidelines are in place to help protect the look, feel, and long-term value of the neighbourhood. They ensure every home contributes to a consistent, high-quality streetscape.

These guidelines sit within your land contract, and all new residents follow the same standards for their stage of the community. After you settle, your builder will submit your plans for approval and construction will need to begin within the timeframe outlined in your contract.

My land has titled, what happens now?

When your lot officially titles, it means it has been registered with the Land Titles Office. If all other requirements have been met, your conveyancer or legal representative will be able to arrange a settlement date. Jubilee’s conveyancing team will notify your settlement agent with the relevant information so the final steps can be completed smoothly and on time.

What should I expect when settlement day arrives?

Settlement is the day the final balance on your land is paid and ownership transfers into your name. Once all funds are processed and the legal steps are complete, your lot becomes officially yours. From that point, your mortgage repayments will begin, and your builder can progress toward commencing construction on your new home at Jubilee.

When do I need to start building?

Purchasers need to start building their homes within 12 months of settling on their land, with homes to then be completed within 12 months of construction commencing.

When do I need to complete my landscaping by?

Six months after receiving your Certificate of Occupancy issued by your builder who has constructed your home. See Jubilee Design Guidelines for all details around landscaping and our landscaping rebate offer.
