What to Do When Land Is Registered and Settlement Is Approaching

As land registration approaches at The Crescent Estate, many buyers begin to wonder what happens next.

This stage marks an important shift in the buying journey. From securing land to preparing for settlement and planning your future home. Understanding the steps to take after land is registered can help make the transition from purchase to build smoother and more straightforward.

Below, we outline what to do as settlement approaches, including when to speak with your home builder, how to prepare your finance, and how to start planning the next chapter at The Crescent.

Speak With Your Home Builder

In the lead up to land registration, it’s the right time to begin (or continue) conversations with your chosen home builder.

Early discussions help clarify:

  • Design options and layouts
  • Build timelines
  • Site requirements
  • Approval pathways

Starting this process now allows you to move forward with confidence and avoid unnecessary delays later.

Review Your Finance

As settlement approaches, ensuring your finance is in order is essential.

Many buyers use this time to:

  • Confirm loan approvals
  • Finalise paperwork with their lender or broker
  • Understand settlement timing and requirements

Our team will be sharing further guidance around finance in the coming weeks to help purchasers feel informed and supported through this stage.

Begin Planning Your Build

This is where ideas start to take shape.

From floorplans and facades to landscaping and outdoor spaces, early planning allows you to:

  • Refine your vision
  • Understand costs and inclusions
  • Make informed design decisions

Even if construction is still some time away, early preparation makes the process smoother.

Visit the Estate

With land registered, buyers will soon be able to visit and drive through the estate, gaining a clearer sense of the neighbourhood, orientation and surrounding environment.

Seeing the estate in person often brings plans to life and helps guide design and placement decisions.

Still Considering Purchasing?

If you’re yet to secure a block, this stage is also an important moment.

As the estate progresses toward settlement, availability becomes more limited. Speaking with our sales team now can help you understand what opportunities remain and what the next steps could look like.

Looking Ahead

Land registration and settlement are key milestones, and the beginning of the next chapter.
