Settlement Stages

4. Preparing for Settlement


We are pleased to inform you that the council has sealed the plans, and they have now been lodged with the QLD Titles Office.

As settlement is soon approaching, please refer to the below  information to guide you through the next step of the process.

 

Communicate with your solicitor

To assist your solicitor to prepare for settlement, it is time to communicate with them. They will guide you through all items required by you to be ready for settlement.

 

Documents for lenders

If your financier has requested copies of the Certificate of Currency for Insurance and the Building Classification Certificate, you can find copies here. Please provide to the requesting parties.

 

Plan Sealing & Title Registration

The sealed plans are submitted to the Department of Natural Resources and Mines for title registration. The title registration process normally takes approximately 1-2 weeks pending the number of submissions the department is handling at the same time. Unfortunately, these elements are outside of our control, and we always take every precaution to ensure a plan sealing and title registration occurs in a timely manner.

Once titles are registered our legal team will advise your lawyer and we will call for settlement. The time from our call for settlement and your settlement day is determined by your Contract of Sale. This is generally 14 days.

Below are some helpful tips and links to assist with preparing to take ownership your property. We encourage you to become familiar and bookmark the Serenity community page on our website where you will find all information about Serenity and future property enquiries after settlement.

Connecting Electricity, Phone and NBN Accounts

Electricity connection can be made via your preferred electrical retailer.

Energex NMI’s

Serenity has been built NBN-ready. This means you only need to contact a retailer for NBN to arrange connection and a service plan. The retailer will arrange for a technician to attend to install the final cable connections for operation. The location of your NBN cupboard can be found in the garage or laundry of the property and requires plugging into a power supply. Services such as telephone and internet connections can be provided by a variety of service providers, but not by NBNCo directly.
