What kind of heating will the homes have? Can I choose it?

So will the homes actually look like we see in the 3D images?

Yes - aside from a small amount of flexibility, the entire subdivision will be finished as you see in the imagery.

Are all of the properties freehold?

Yes, all of the houses will have individual title as fee simple properties.

When will the homes be finished?

Titling work commenced in September 2011 and Vista Management Ltd estimate that certificate of title will come through on the properties in the first quarter of 2012.

Earthworks and Civils on the site are already underway to ensure building will commence immediately upon title.
