The stamp duty will be $6535 but we have negotiated a $4000 discount with the land because we were cheeky and said it would cost to much for fencing a corner block with the covenants associated to it. So he is giving us some back to do the fencing.

The builder thinks that because it a naturally (almost) flat block it will only need 700ml cut and fill. Pray he is right. Like someone said the soil test will confirm and we will see how much it will cost.

We are looking a build Coral Hamilton on it which we really like the look of. Mind you, with the extras we want to add the price goes up another $50,000 on the base price.
