Orchard e-contracts

Finding your place in our wonderful community is actually pretty easy, especially now that we’ve broken down the process into 5 simple steps!

Step 1 – Find your perfect home site

Request an appointment on our website and one of our friendly staff will be in touch to explain all the features and benefits of living at Orchard.

We will also show you our available lots, as well as house & land packages or townhomes at Orchard Row if you prefer.

We can either meet face to face or over a video call, whatever suits you best!

Step 2 – Secure your dream lot 

Once you have chosen your lot or townhome, the next step is to secure it by paying an initial deposit.

There are several payment options available to you:

  • Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
  • Debit Card or Credit Card. Please be aware that extra charges may apply.
  • Bank Cheque

If you choose EFT as your preferred method, please use the following details:

RPM Real Estate Group Pty Ltd Sales Trust Account

BSB: 183 334

ACC: 302069828

Reference: (Orchard - Lot X - Your Surname)

Then email confirmation of payment to orchard@rpmrealestate.com.au.

If you choose Card or Bank Cheque, one of our team members will guide you through the payment process.

When your initial deposit has been paid, your Land Contract must be signed within 7 days. Again, we’ll help arrange that.

Step 3 – Sign your E-contract

E-Contracts are a great way to save paper, couriers and time!

Please provide a copy of your driver's license or passport, along with your conveyancer's details, to a member of the Orchard team so we can prepare your E-contract.

If requested we can email a blank E-Contract to your conveyancer for review. We can also send it directly to you, too, if preferred due to certain circumstances, such as being interstate or out of the country.

The Orchard team will take you through the E-Contract and all the steps to get it signed and completed. It’s stress free.

It’s important to note that you will be signing an unconditional contract, so all parties need to have completed their own due diligence before they sign. Your conveyancer or solicitor is the perfect person to provide the advice you need.

When you sign the E-Contract, the balance of the deposit (5% - refer to payment details listed in step 2) will need to be paid. The contract will then be sent to the vendor to be reviewed and countersigned. Once this is done, a completed copy will be sent to your conveyancer for their records.

Step 4 – Settlement!

As construction at Orchard continues, our team will email monthly updates so you know what’s happening. You can also visit the section on our website called Your Orchard.

The Orchard team and your conveyancer will be touch as your Title date approaches, so you can talk to your bank or broker and prepare for settlement.

Settlement will take place 10 days after your lot is Titled. Then… congratulations! You can start building your dream home at Orchard!

Step 5 – Choose your new home 

This is the fun part! There are many homes to see and builders to talk to. The Orchard team will happily show you the locations of local display villages, which are a great way to view your options and talk about your requirements.

To protect your interests and those of all our residents, Orchard has Design Guidelines that ensure high standards of building are maintained throughout the community. Please discuss your plans with your builder and make sure your home complies before submitting them to the Design Review Panel for approval.
